How’s the weather? How’re the twins? How’s… your existential dread? If you’re an introvert, these questions will make you want to crawl under a rock and hibernate. And if you find your introvert friend’s behaviour annoying, tune into The Introvert’s Bubble, a podcast about introverts and homebodies, and how they look at life in general.The podcast is not only about understanding this special breed but also a push to make them get out into the world, push their boundaries, and live a fulfilling life without having to change what’s fundamentally them.
In this 19-min episode, Back to Basics of What an Introvert Is, host Anung Vilay says that the dictionary must change the definition of an introvert – ‘a typically reserved or quiet person who tends to be introspective and enjoys spending time alone’.
She argues that loud people everywhere try to tell everyone around what to think, what to do and how to live. These people don’t understand that everyone is different. But introverts are not anti-social or wet blankets. They can have great relationships, and just have fun living. And they must be allowed to enjoy their life their way.
