Impressionist painting by Édouard Manet depicting a blonde woman from behind in a light blue corset. Her reflection in the ornate mirror is completely blurred with chaotic brushstrokes, erasing her face and identity entirely.

Édouard Manet's painting 'Before the Mirror' perfectly captures the unseen anxiety of daily life and the feeling of not being seen for who you truly are.

I hide, I camouflage

Drowned out and hiding in shame. When we feel out of place, we choose to hide and and withdraw!

I used to avoid taking photos of myself. It always took a lot of convincing — I was too shy, too unsure:)
But lately, I’ve been trying to show up more

And to be known is to be vulnerable.”

As someone who’s very private, writing about my inner world – even gently – can feel like standing in a storm without a coat.

Do you ever feel this tension too?

Close up still of Alexander Skarsgård as a security unit/robot in Murderbot. His brow is furrowed and he looks concerned. Just let the introverts watch TV and not have to give speeches!

Alex Skarsgård’s SecUnit is so relatable…
Here he is inwardly debating which is worse: giving a speech, or being put in an acid bath. #Murderbot #IntrovertThoughts

My #absence, a gift?
Once unseen, yet deeply felt,
A thoughtful exit.

I did miss out by not ingratiating myself with new people.

The conversation I had was much more valuable.

One good thing about AirBnB in a tourism town is that once holiday season is over I can look out my window or be in my yard without "neighbours" looking back at me.

"Introverts are masters of overthinking. We can turn 'Did they say hi weirdly?' into a full-blown mystery novel in our heads
#IntrovertThoughts #Overthinking"

"Introverts can enjoy social gatherings too—just in smaller doses. It's all about finding balance and knowing when to recharge. Quality over quantity. #IntrovertThoughts #SocialEnergy"

Sometimes, I impress myself. Other times, I look for my cellphone while talking on it.
