Her candid revelation serves as a reminder that every individual's journey is unique and should be celebrated, whether they find solace in solitude or thrive in social interactions.

“As an introvert. Read on. One day I woke up and decided to record sounds I can tolerate before coffee, and in the early morning. (Before the kids wake.) Coffee machine, coffee beans, the author of my book, my beads, my rope, then, Bible Project (Tim and John; who also “accompanied” me at my MRI).

“Introversion, contrary to what most people think, is not really a “social” problem (could be but not essentially), but a stimulation problem. We are easily stimulated. Sounds are a big part of it. Do you know I get bothered by electric fans? The sound of it makes me annoyed. (This is why I couldn’t stand my vornados even if they were great in circulating air — kasi maingay.) I only realised these things when I started reading Susan Cain’s book: QUIET and then watched a video of a man who said he needed a room that had no windows and no fans to work cause he was too easily stimulated by everything. (Kaya ko pa ang window, mga besh. So I am a bit better in handling stimulus in that sense hahaha.)
