Coaxing Back the Spirit of Your Introverted Child
Part 2
by Nancy R. FennThere is an invisible, assumed criterion which we can never meet. We begin to think WE are wrong. We devalue our inner convictions. We mistake our ability to stand alone against the world for a weakness, rather than a great strength. We fail to honor our rich inner worlds, our ability to turn information into knowledge, our need to listen and hear and fully comprehend before we speak.
We apologize for our inability ability to "communicate" never realizing that we write beautifully, listen elegantly and have learned to abjure small talk because it is not communicating.
We sneak in or apologize for our favorite, soul fulfilling activities, the ones the introverts on my website mention over and over again, the deeply treasured daydreaming, listening to music, writing in journals, thinking ("thinking is a pastime, too!" one introvert wrote me emphatically) or walking, cycling ... playing with a pet.
What happened to us as children when we failed to meet every single criterion called "normal"? What happened to us when our natural preferences -- things like staring out the window, sitting at the computer, playing with imaginary friends, collecting stamps or writing in a diary -- were ridiculed and despised?
This is stressful and our self esteem suffers. I get letters every day from introverts who say they never felt "ok" before.
In order to support your introverted child or the recovery process in yourself if you are an introvert who tried for two, three or four heartbreaking decades to be something you're not, let's look closely and with interest at the four introvert categories with the least people in them.
These are the children who get practically no reinforcement for their world view and their way of being unless they are lucky enough to have a parent in one of these groups as well.
Having your ground of being denied like this is stressful. It is my observation that most introverts have been under constant stress from childhood and some even have the behavior of post traumatic shock syndrome, are depressed, or have the illnesses connected with sustained stress such as chronic fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome or fibromyalgia.
Let's look at how each of the four introvert groups react to stress, what stresses them and how we might parent or re-parent these children (and ourselves) successfully.
