Reframing Introversion
Manage episode 326019358 series 3326105
Thanks for joining me on today's episode, I'll be talking about introversion and the perceptions or misperceptions that go along with it.
Before I get to that, here's this month's example of the DISC in DISCovering you. If you listen to the last episode, which aired just before the academy awards, you'll recall that I looked at DISC through the lens of Oscar categories this time, National Book Day is on the weekend so I thought it would have some fun with the book theme.
Here we go, DISC according to literary genre. High D, I think it would be business books, something about achieving results. I'm imagining a title like "How to Crush the Competition". High I, I think romance or slice of life definitely something incorporating love, fun and adventure. For high S, I'm thinking well-being, envisioning Brene Brown's books or things like meditating or mindfulness. For high C, thriller or mystery, something where the reader is accumulating clues and using strategy to solve it.
Back to today's topic, you may remember during the Enneagram episode I used the word introverted as one of the descriptors for type five, the investigator. I said I wanted to put a pin in that word to discuss it in more detail, but I did take a moment to clarify that introversion should not have a negative connotation. I did that because sadly it's often perceived as less than ideal. Listeners, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Did you grow up with the impression that to be introverted was somehow less than being an extrovert?
Enjoy today's episode "Reframing Introversion".
