For introverts, the "holidays" can seem like a death sentence. Here's a game plan to recover your holidays -- from the Introverts Coach.
Actually the real name of this article is "Nancy's Sure Fire Five Stage Introverts' Recovery from Frenetic Over Activity at Holidays Game Plan".
Here's how I developed this plan. A reader recently wrote me:
"I love my family and my in-laws, but only in small doses. The string of holidays coming up fills me with dread because I feel pressured to go from one social event to the next. The family is actually offended when I don't show up -- no matter what excuse I make -- because they think that I should WANT to be with them. Family pressure can be worse than teen-aged peer pressure. Any suggestions about how to stop feeling OBLIGATED TO BE SOCIAL?"
This was my reply:
Dear OBLIGATED TO BE SOCIAL,
How heartily I sympathize with you! For introverts, holidays can be, well, an ordeal. Actually, I think Dante's Inferno should have included an eternal sentence to family gatherings and holidays for the crime of perpetrating them on others!
Don't get me wrong. I love my family. I have explained to each of them carefully and patiently on many occasions that I'm an introvert, holidays are exhausting and I'd rather plan my visits with them at quiet times during the year when we can really visit.
There's a more serious side as well. Introverts are stressed with socializing. We give energy; extroverts take energy. Being stressed at this time of year can easily lead to illness.
Let's look at a strategy here. We need to break this down into bite sized pieces so you can win from the very start. I call this "Nancy's Surefire Five Stage Introverts' Recovery from Frenetic Over Activity at Holidays Game Plan".
Let's assume that over the next five years, you're going to turn the holidays into something that works for you.
Stage One: We begin with the inside first, because from the inner comes the outer. Let's begin with a:
(1) declaration of independence,
(2) the resolution to persevere and succeed no matter how slowly at first, and
(3) the sure knowledge that you will find the ways and means.
For this year, that's quite enough. You may not be able to bring much change in your outer world but you have a plan and it will succeed.
Step Two, Level One: Begin the educating process. Each time you interact with a family member during the months and year ahead, also at this year's holiday events, find a way to slip in a remark about introversion as a legitimate personality style.
It's true, introverts need to spend at least half their time alone for good mental health. If you need to brush up on your facts, there are some good resources for free on the Internet including www.keirsey.com and my site.Page: 1 2
