“Drive alone to the nearest hotel and lock yourself in the room”: how to survive for introverted parents

Julie Wick found herself in this sad situation when she became a mother. To reflect on her experience and help other introverted parents, Julie wrote the book Kids Don't Small Talk (So Why Should I?): How to Survive as an Introverted Parent.

Pregnant Chicken published Julie's article, which is based on her book and is intended to help not so outgoing parents. We publish with small cuts.

Posted by Julie Vick (@julievickwriter)

When I was pregnant with my first child, I read about five million books about parenthood. But there were some things these books didn't tell. As a parent, you will be drawn into a bunch of new social situations for yourself.

I am introverted and quite sensitive, so I get tired of social interaction and external stimuli like constant noise. I am not against communication, especially in small groups, with good friends or people with whom I have common interests. But after that, I need to be alone to recuperate.

How to survive with a child in a studio apartment

Before I became a mother, I heard a lot of jokes about parents being couch potatoes. And I thought: okay, this suits me. Once I have a baby, I will be able to refuse invitations to all sorts of corporate parties and be at home instead of sitting in a crowded bar.

What I didn't consider was that being a parent added a bunch of other activities to my schedule, like parent-teacher conferences or kids playroom parties. Or small talk with other parents on benches in the park.

When I was writing a book for introverted parents, I realized that my introversion, sensitivity, and anxiety in some social situations affect my parenting style. Knowing my own characteristics helped me better navigate and avoid situations that disturb me.

Because I am sensitive to the emotions of others, it is difficult for me to say no. But I understand that if I overload myself, I will stop looking like a calm "Zen mom" and become a "wounded crocodile mom."

I try to keep to a minimum the number of clubs my children participate in, I refuse invitations to children's birthday parties. Fortunately, when you have a child, you don’t have to look for an excuse for your refusal for a long time.

When I became a mother, my dream vacation looked like this: go alone to the nearest hotel and lock myself in my room for a couple of days. I fantasized how I would order food to my room, sleep for eight hours and watch movies without interruptions.

If you have the opportunity to be alone with yourself for a few days, do it.

At a minimum, find time to recharge: ask a partner to fill you in, pay someone to look after the children, or at least hit the nearest store, buy a delicious meal that you love, and sit in your parked car for half an hour eating potatoes free and listening to podcasts.

Taking a child on "sandbox dates" can be exhausting for introverts. You need to pay attention to several things at once: watch the child, communicate with other parents, and at the same time consider whether they are judging you because your toddler is still sucking on the pacifier.

It's okay to limit the number of these meetings, or choose options where you and the other parent won't inconvenience each other. Sometimes it’s more useful to choose an event with an animator, where a person specially hired for this will play with your child, and you don’t have to talk to anyone at all.

If you are sensitive to loud sounds, it would be a mistake to send your child to a drumming class. If possible, choose quiet and less crowded classes, and if your child wants something else, have your partner drive him to classes. And at this time you can enjoy silence or your favorite show.

Parents often have to make friends in kindergartens, playgrounds and schools. As an introvert, it’s difficult for me to make new acquaintances, I can’t just pick up and talk to a person I don’t know. But if I still have to attend a children's birthday party, I try to communicate with other parents who are standing alone. In addition, extrovert parents often approach me to make acquaintances. And I am grateful to them for that.

Finding your own way in parenting is normal, just because other parents are happy with the amount and quality of communication doesn't mean you should be.


On our own behalf, we add that communication with children also tires introverts, and others are not always ready to help them. How to take care of yourself when you are a parent? You can read about it here. And we have already written about other hardships of the life of introverted parents here. While introverted parents would rather be alone in principle, remember, you are not alone in this situation!

Extroverts, introverts, ambiverts - we increase productivity by psychotype.

Office service. Extroverts, introverts, ambiverts - we increase productivity by psychotype. Office service.

Everyone has heard about personality types and passed a lot of tests to determine their own psychological portrait. There are three types of personality - extroverts, introverts and ambiverts. Each psychotype has different character traits, behaviors and a different work style.

Let's figure out how to be productive if you're an extrovert, introvert, or ambivert.

Personality typology - a brief digression

There are various classifications of personality types. The most popular is the personality typology of Carl Gustav Jung. In the first half of the twentieth century, Jung proposed a classification of personality based on the direction of the internal (mental) energy of a person. The scientist identified two main directions of energy - extraversion and introversion. The bottom line is that in a person with extraversion traits, energy is directed to the outside world, in people with introversion - to the inner world. At the same time, Jung emphasized that both types of energy are present in a person, one of which is dominant. Based on this, Carl Jung identified two types of people - extroverts and introverts.

Later, the American psychologist Edmund Conklin introduced the concept of "ambivert", denoting the third type of personality. According to the scientist, ambiverts include people whose traits of extraversion or introversion appear in different situations. So there were three basic psychotypes - extrovert, introvert and ambivert.

Each type has special character traits, copes with stress and recuperates differently, has a different style of work. Let's take a closer look at the distinguishing features of extroverts, introverts and ambiverts.

Extroverts

It is believed that extroverts are sociable people who easily make new acquaintances. They are more successful in society and have leadership qualities. For the most part, this is true. People with dominant extraversion traits are open to the outside world. Extroverts draw energy in society, in communication. But they cannot be alone for a long time. It exhausts them psychologically.

The most characteristic character traits of extroverts:

  • Extroverts turn to the outside world, adapt to it.
  • Sociable and friendly.
  • Often characterized by assertiveness and leadership qualities.
  • They like publicity, being the center of attention.
  • Replenish energy by communicating with people.
  • They do not like to be alone for a long time.
  • They prefer to work in a team.
  • Initiative, with a high level of enthusiasm.
  • Able to sacrifice themselves for a common goal or for other people.
  • Suggestible.

Introverts

It is believed that introverts are quiet, reserved people who find it difficult to make new acquaintances. Even in society, it is widely believed that introverts are shy people. This is not entirely true. Both extroverts and ambiverts can be shy. Shyness is not a feature of introverts, it is the fear of public condemnation, misunderstanding. This is a separate issue that can and should be addressed. And if shyness interferes with a normal social life, then you should seek help from a specialist.

Introverts are quite sociable, it's just more difficult for them to open up in a society of strangers than for extroverts.

The distinguishing features of introverts are:

  • Introverts have a small circle of friends, but are very devoted to them.
  • They like to spend time alone, tend to self-reflection.
  • They prefer independent work.
  • Avoid large gatherings of people (for example, rallies, meetings, etc.).
  • Some introverts are slow, carefully check every action, like to plan ahead.
  • Do not openly show emotions and feelings.
  • They prefer to rest and recuperate alone.
  • Highly appreciates personal qualities such as honesty, sincerity, fidelity.
  • Restrained and calm in communication. Ambiverts It is believed that most people on the planet are ambiverts.

    Ambiverts - this can be said to be a universal personality type that combines the features of extroverts and introverts. People with ambiversion traits can act as extroverts or introverts depending on the situation. So, for example, a person can be an enterprising leader at work and a calm, reserved person in the family, or vice versa.

    Distinctive features of ambiverts:

    • They love society and at the same time it is important for them to be alone.
    • Works well in a team and can work effectively on their own.
    • More flexible, able to adapt to changing environments.
    • Feel comfortable in public, in large companies.
    • For ambiverts, it is important to maintain a balance between society and loneliness.

    If you are not sure what type of personality you have, try the Eysenck test. This is a classic method for determining the psychotype on an extraverted-introverted scale. If you still have doubts, take the test from the American psychologist Adam Grant. The test will give a clear idea of ​​which of the three personality types you belong to.

    Tips for extroverts

    • Be active. Extroverts cannot sit in silence for a long time or sit for hours at monotonous work. Think of activities. For example, if the office is deafeningly quiet, try adding some music. You have to make a boring report, come up with a game for yourself - write a page and treat yourself to coffee or chocolate. You can think of anything. The main thing is that the extrovert does not feel bored.
    • Use your abilities. Do not be afraid and offer your candidature for speaking at conferences, seminars or take the initiative and organize a corporate party.

Open space, a lot of unnecessary conversations with colleagues can be tiring. Try looking for a more private place to work. You can ask management to make special rooms or divide office space with partitions.
