Introverts and Highly Sensitive People
Introversion and high sensitivity are different, but they can also overlap and interact, and many of us experience both personality traits to some degree, perhaps along with shyness. This page includes articles plus some books, sites, videos and other material about these qualities, their impact on our creative lives, and how we can thrive using the positive aspects. “From about the age of eighteen or nineteen, when I went to college, I realized that it was just not my idea of fun to party. “So I realized that I had this fundamental difference with a lot of other people.” – From post: Unsociable, bored at parties, inner-directed, creative personality type. “I’m not the girl at the club on the table. “I was the girl who cut school to go to the park, and the other kids would be smoking and drinking and I’d be reading Shakespeare.” Actor Jessica Chastain – from Jessica Chastain and High Sensitivity. “I’m just a real loner kind of person, and yeah, kinda dark.

I thought I was damaged. Then I learned I’m introverted.
Not long ago, I discovered Michael Schiller’s terrific Social Introverts Facebook Fan Page. We started corresponding, and I’d love to share the note he sent me about his passion for helping introverts appreciate their own quiet perfection. ~ Susan Click image to "Like" Michael Schiller's "Social Introverts" FB Fan Page Hello, Susan. I spent my entire life thinking that I was psychologically damaged, that my aversion to social gatherings and crowds was a disorder or a phobia. It wasn’t until the middle of last year that I discovered that I am completely normal, that my disposition was born in me, and that it was no mistake. I smile more than I ever have, and I seldom wait for an excuse. Now I’ve made it my mission to try to help bring that same relief to others like me, who may also be spending their lives hating themselves by mistake. 665share

Redes 78: El cerebro no busca la verdad sino sobrevivir
Redes 78: “El cerebro no busca la verdad sino sobrevivir”. Fecha de emisión: 26/12/10. Vanidoso y ególatra, nuestro cerebro trata de convencerse siempre de la opción más cómoda, de la que concuerda mejor con su propia realidad. Por eso memoria e inconsciente se encargan de ajustar lo que no encaja, de cambiar lo que no gusta, de eliminar lo que duele y de ensalzar lo que agrada. De esos mismos mecanismos surge en los humanos la habilidad para caer fácilmente en estereotipos y prejuicios que, llevados al extremo, pueden conducir a tensiones y conflictos. El próximo domingo en Redes, de la mano de la psicóloga Cordelia Fine conoceremos las artimañas que utiliza el cerebro humano para construirse un mundo más agradable y benévolo.

How Languages We Speak Affect The Way We Think
Keith Chen (TED Talk: Could your language affect your ability to save money?) might be an economist, but he wants to talk about language. For instance, he points out, in Chinese, saying “this is my uncle” is not as straightforward as you might think. In Chinese, you have no choice but to encode more information about said uncle. The language requires that you denote the side the uncle is on, whether he’s related by marriage or birth and, if it’s your father’s brother, whether he’s older or younger. “All of this information is obligatory. This got Chen wondering: Is there a connection between language and how we think and behave? While “futured languages,” like English, distinguish between the past, present and future, “futureless languages” like Chinese use the same phrasing to describe the events of yesterday, today and tomorrow. But that’s only the beginning. Featured illustration via iStock.
