Definition: Contrary to what most people think, an introvert is not simply a person who is shy. In fact, being shy has little to do with being an introvert! Shyness has an element of apprehension, nervousness and anxiety, and while an introvert may also be shy, introversion itself is not shyness. Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people.
Introverts are more concerned with the inner world of the mind. They enjoy thinking, exploring their thoughts and feelings. They often avoid social situations because being around people drains their energy. This is true even if they have good social skills. After being with people for any length of time, such as at a party, they need time alone to “recharge.”
When introverts want to be alone, it is not, by itself, a sign of depression. It means that they either need to regain their energy from being around people or that they simply want the time to be with their own thoughts. Being with people, even people they like and are comfortable with, can prevent them from their desire to be quietly introspective.
Being introspective, though, does not mean that an introvert never has conversations. However, those conversations are generally about ideas and concepts, not about what they consider the trivial matters of social small talk.
Introverts make up about 60% of the gifted population but only about 25-40% of the general population.all of this!

Why I use cloth menstrual pads:
- they are comfortable and gentle on the skin (by allowing it to breath)
- they have none of the added chemicals and bleaches that are found on store-bought plastic pads (which effect the PH balance of your vulva)
- reusable; which saves money and planetary resources
- they are easy to clean on a 30* wash cycle (even toss them in bloody with your normal wash and nothing is stained)
- they clip around your underwear so can be slid back and forth for easy adjustment (I always used to position plastic pads wrong)
- they are pretty to look at and actually cheer me up on my period
Why I use a menstrual cup:
- none of the chemicals or bleaches that are found on tampons
- a cup sits low in the entrance of the vagina (tampons go right up in there) - this completely eliminates the chance of Toxic Shock Syndrome
- they can be worn at night time (this is an absolute blessing)
- they are comfortable - I can never even tell I am wearing one
- are designed to be changed less frequently than tampons (my light-mid flow requires a once every 6 hour empty)
- they attract less bacteria than tampons as they do not have a pourous surface, making them more hygenic
- reusable; which saves money and planetary resources
- they make travelling, swimming, and festivals with your period so so easy
NEED to invest in a cup and cloth pads.
its nice to see this still going round and it makes me all happy to think of how many people might consider alternate menstrual options after seeing it, like it legit makes me feel so good
