““Introverts live in two worlds: We visit the world of people, but solitude and the inner world will always be our home.” ~Jenn Granneman
Day such and such of Quarantine and I’m pretty sure that half of us are losing our minds are essential workers risking their lives to go to work, or calm. For this week’s blog post, I decided to do a review on one of the MANY books that I’m currently reading while I’m home for the remainder of the semester: The Secret Lives of Introverts by Jenn Granneman.
Though I’m still reading, I can tell you some things about it, like you don’t have to be an introvert to read the novel. This book serves as a guideline to the world of an introvert and show you the many signs of one and how we deal with certain situations of life (I’m an introvert if you couldn’t tell INFJ-T!)
Jenn Granneman, the author of the book and the founder of IntrovertDear.com, decided to write this book to help answer the following questions about introversion:
- What’s going on when introverts go quiet?
- What do introvert lovers need to flourish in a relationship?
- How can introverts find their own brand or fulfillment in the workplace?
- How can introverts mine their rich inner worlds of creativity and insight?
- And many more!
Though many people aren’t into taking personality tests to learn more about themselves, if you are and tested very high introversion, I recommend this book for you. For those who are curious, the book is broken into 13 chapters with each chapter actually talking about real experiences that coincide with the theme of the chapter.
If anyone is interested in learning about their personality type, https://www.16personalities.com/ is a good website that models the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator. Your results will come up at the end looking something similar to this:

But the most important thing to know about being an introvert is that there’s nothing wrong with you. You’re not broken because you’re quiet. It’s okay to stay home on a Friday night instead of going to a party. Being an introvert is a perfectly normal ‘thing’ to be.” ~Jenn Granneman

My daughter is an INFJ, and it’s been such an interesting process learning about her as she grows. When she was little, she would quickly shut down at large family gatherings and I had a hard time understanding what happened. Now I realize it was just too much for her. Such an important insight! I’m adding this to my reading list for sure.
