"I think a strong case can be made that not only is it OK to be an introvert or to have introverts on our teams; but just like there are advantages to being a bit more extroverted, there are also certain advantages that introverts have." Via Douglas Eby Delete the scoop?

Julie Christie "I found films to be turbulent and stressful. They have caused me an enormous amount of anxiety, because I do not have a lot of confidence.
"You are working, intellectually and mentally, and you are having to be with people and socialize all the time. Actors like it, on the whole, but I was not born with that quality. I am very quiet and would much prefer to talk to a few people rather than a crowd.” Via Douglas Eby

Also see post: Jessica Chastain and High Sensitivity, Crying and Creative People -- “I’m very sensitive in real life. I cannot not cry if someone around me is crying…even if it’s not appropriate. I have that thing in me, a weakness or sensitivity.” Jessica Chastain http://highlysensitive.org/602/jessica-chastain-and-high-sensitivity/ [Her comment about “weakness or sensitivity” probably reflects the kinds of disparaging attitudes and criticism many non-sensitive people have about those who are sensitive. Our trait is NOT a weakness.] Delete the scoop?

Extroverts aren’t the most successful in the long run at work; instead, the quiet, neurotic, introverted employees who often fret about what others think of them come out on top, according to a new study.

"For a sensitive person, clutter is an energy drain because it’s overstimulating (one of the biggest challenges for a sensitive person).
"It affects your energy to work in a messy room because there’s so much more to pay attention to."

Clutter-- even "organized" clutter-- IS an issue for HSPs. Why? Because even when we're pretending "not to notice," there's still a small part of our bandwidth that gets used in worrying about "needing to tidy up," and it manifests further by meaning we have less bandwidth to focus on what we really NEED to focus on.
