Episode #19: Yes, Even Introverts Need Friends
Introverts need good friends and strong relationships, just like extroverts do, but they go about socializing a little differently. Usually they require just a few deep connections - instead of a rolodex of acquaintances - and it doesn’t take as much to fill their social quota.
For introverts to be at their best, they need authentic, close relationships. So on today’s show, we’ll be exploring ways to take care of our friendships as introverts. And joining us to lend her expertise is author SophIa Dembling.
SophIa Dembling is a writer and editor in Dallas, Texas. She is author of The Introvert’s Way: Living a Quiet Life in a Noisy World and Introverts in Love: The Quiet Way to Happily Ever After. SophIa, who started her writing career at The Dallas Morning News, has had articles and essays published in more magazines, newspapers, anthologies and websites than she can list.
