[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the previous comments that a whole bunch of things are getting lumped together under the label of introversion which aren’t necessarily related. However, as an introvert with anxiety and sensitivity to overstimulation, some tactics I’ve found useful: I didn’t breastfeed, I work full time, we use daycare so I WFH 1-2 days a week to build in more quiet time (between meetings), my husband is a highly involved partner who regularly frees me up for blocks of alone time (as I do for him), I’ve found being totally in the moment with little kids is actually a great antidote to my anxiety. Most important, I think, is continuing to work and having a partner who pulls his weight at home. If I stayed at home or had to handle all kid stuff in my off time, I would have had a breakdown by now. [/quote]
