I'm a true introvert who has to make a really big effort to get out socially. I LOVE doing almost all activities alone. Walking, reading, quilting. ❤❤❤❤
Love this Lucy!
I love walking crichetting cooking on my own it's but of a push to get me out socially
SOUNDS LIKE ME ❤
Sounds like me
The time alone is more important than people tend to realize
Shout out to one of my local branches of Lush, where they have a system: if you prefer to be left to shop without help unless you ask for it, take a yellow basket, if you want help, take a black one.
I am definitely a friendly introvert. I talk to 40 to 50 people every day at work, but when I get home, I don’t want to talk to anybody. Sometimes not even my family, which can be a problem at times. But I love to spend time alone with my thoughts and working on thingsthat I want to work on.
I’m totally an introvert but my hubby is an extrovert! Sometimes having to compromise is a challenge for both of us! But we’ve done it for 54 happy years so it can work!
Opposites attract, right? I'm an E, and my husband is an I.
Definitely an introvert. I worked in an office for 35 years and am now retired. I love not having the forced interactions every day but found I also missed my work friends. I joined 2 book clubs, and a true crime club. It gives me all the social interaction I need.
Love this Mare!
@@micajahsmom We meet once a month at the library and discuss a famous murder case. We don’t read any particular book but research on our own beforehand. There’s always lots of information online or from shows like Dateline or 48 Hours or shows on streaming platforms. We have lively meetings and it’s lots of fun. May sound gruesome unless you’re a true crime junky.
Same ! As I approached retirement, realized even as an introvert, I need to create new social groups. I'm in a women's civic organization and 2 book clubs as well. Curious about the true crime club. Never heard of these !
I definitely need time alone to recharge, evaluate and plan goals. Also like watching channels like this and learn about financial matters.
Sounds like me in many ways. One thing I find so important in my morning routine is spending time in God's word and prayer. I cherish this part of my day, and I would strongly encourage anyone to add prayer and Bible study to their daily routine.
Thank you Kaye
Amen. Love your post. I feel the same
I used to be an extrovert when I was younger but I think I’m a friendly introvert now. I love chatting to people but not too many, I prefer small groups or 1-1. I work in a school so am surrounded by people and children and noise. When I get home I have to have cup of tea upstairs with a book or a quick you tube video before I can deal with Mum stuff. I love going for a walk on my own to re-charge.
Exactly ! I'm a teacher too, we have to deal with A LOT of social interactions, it's really taxing.
Thanks Nia!!!
Grocery pickup is indeed a game changer 😊
YASSS!
That is EXACTLY what I call myself. People think I'm a happy party person extrovert, but that's because the battery was fully charged when they saw me. That is not every day, believe me. I don't like parties, weddings, big group celebrations. I have a small circle of friends I see individually for the most part. I do however like shopping, sometimes, although more often than not I don't buy much, or nothing at all, if it isn't needed (getting more frugal every day). I live in a beach area and even enjoy having people (of MY choosing) for a weekend, but no longer than that - I just want them to Go Home Now, Please. My battery is so drained I need days to recharge, it's exhausting being "on" for days on end. And I have and want nothing to do with social media, and am not instantly available by phone or text, which people now understand is because I am not going through life with my phone in my hand waiting to be summoned, that's all. Hey, I'm old, I don't have to spend any more of my time trying to please others than I want to. I used to, but I'm pretty much over it. They'll be ok.
Introvert all the way
Love being at home by myself.
I was once a complete extrovert. A real social butterfly. But as decades passed and life continued to happen, I discovered my quiet side. The side spent with my beautiful, adorable 🐈⬛ and my chosen RUclips videos. Alas, I made a complete flip and am now happily an introvert. I value my time, my quiet and my sense of peace above all else, but when the need arises, I can be comfortable with the people I’ve chosen to enhance my life.
You sound just like me. I am so happy with my two furry babies and my little apartment.
That’s me too!
"Sounds like me!"
Definately... it took a long time to understand this but now such a relief.
YASSS!
sounds like me...crucial for me to be by myself to replenish!
I am definitely a friendly introvert who hates grocery shopping. 😊
Love waking up what ever time I feel like as I live alone ...my going to work days are done ....now I am enjoying my me time most of the time😂....making my own tea or some mornings coffee with fruit..sitting in my favourite chair for as long as I like.....watching RUclips and walking in my little garden..best life ever.....thanks Kate for your valuable information you post....Ramona from Srilankan ❤
totally totally me!
I have lived alone for decades and it doesn't bother me in the least. Many days I can count on one hand how many words I speak to another human being. I have been using grocery pick-up for almost two years and love it. I get my shopping at Walmart (mostly due to fact there is not much store variety near me) and you just need to spend $35 for free store pick-up.
I am an INFJ on the Myers Briggs test and the I stands for introvert, in fact I am an'extraverted introvert" - when I am around people I am friendly, funny, and articulate...Then I have to go home by myself and recover. I always feel weird like I couldn't make up my mind. What made me feel better and having the results of the Myers-Briggs helped me.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us Karen!
Introvert here. Work from home. Go out to socialize 2x a week. Love my grocery delivery.
Sounds like me. I’m a Pastor and by the nature of my work, I’m social when needed. However, recharging for me is essential.
I’m an empath which leads me to being on the friendly introvert side by choice. It’s both a blessing and a curse but I pick up on everyone’s emotions. I am only as happy as the saddest person in the room. I have an overwhelming desire to want to help the person. For my own mental health, I have to limit the number of people I am around otherwise it’s too exhausting emotionally for me. I prefer my dogs!! 🐶 ❤
Thank goodness for pets
I can also relate as I am an empath and introvert. I love socializing and connecting with people but at the end of the day, I cocoon myself in my home. I prefer cooking meals at home and trying new recipes rather than going out to eat!
@@linelamothe8727I have decided the most beautiful place on earth is HOME. Too many years of anxiety and constant not always pleasant interaction.
I’m an introvert, not sure of the friendly part. Lo. But I love getting my own groceries. But I’m 76, and I don’t get out much.
I am introvert. I love having me time. Walking by myself is my favorite. You can order library books and just grab them when there ready.
Yasss🙌❤️
Sounds like me! I enjoy limited social events, like a weekend event is great but longer than that and I am drained
I don't know why men think single women cannot live be happy without a man
Yeah, it can be quite amazing:)
Thank you for validating introversion!! So helpful!!
You are so welcome! Hi Cindy!
I’m an introvert, but I do also treasure my relationship like you do. I think it’s important to put yourself out there from time to time but not allow the world to become draining. I like the tips I will try grocery pick up, sounds like a smart alternative to aimlessly walking the isles. 😊
Hi Kate 👋, sounds like me even though I have a social job, working as an alternative, non- medical practioner. I work with people and really like it. Also meeting my best friend is recharging my batteries but: I avoid crowds (e.g. shopping center, concerts, inner city😵💫) and any kind of group if possible ! If I can't avoid it as it's not always possible some kind of ME TIME afterwards will be necessary.
Another frugal home ritual for me is my yoga exercise in the morning🤸♀️🧘♀️
Love this!
I definitely get more from socializing but I appreciate quiet time since having my second baby. Feeling overstimulated at times, so having some me time is appreciated.
You are exactly like me. I always do pickup. I say no to most things. Definitely will overspend if I shop myself
Sounds like me! I enjoy small gatherings rather than parties also. Hosting one or two people is a lot more affordable and I enjoy the quality time together.
Def an introvert. I need time alone to organize my thoughts and recharge. I prefer cooking at home, but I also like getting take-away, instead of eating out. I try to do the lunch specials or even the children's menu for portion control and to save $. Hello from South Portland, Maine!
You're on my page girl! I can do friendly with smaller groups, but big groups are too exhausting. We all bring something different to life. I have extrovert friends who are great with loads of people, and do a great job of bringing people together around a cause. Me, well I'm one who is better at getting alongside one or two people and walking with them.
YASSS! Thanks Gretel!
❤I am like you, Kate, love morning coffee routine. I do enjoy a conversation with neighbors once in awhile, but do need quiet time to unpack.
YASSS!
Extroverts like me live for small talk! It makes the world seem smaller and everyone is a friend. But I am also self-aware enough to know that everyone doesn't want to talk, so I save it for other extroverts in the line.
Same here, extroverted introvert. Isolation during pandemic wasn’t that hard for me. I pretty much enjoyed it ;)
I am finding so many in this group I can relate to. I thought life was great during the lockdown. I could stay hom as much as I wished without having to explain to anybody why I could not attend this and that. Also, everybody was staying home, so I did not feel like a recluse. The big Plus is I think introverts learn how to entertain themselves with worthwhile projects. I could not shop for clothes so I altered what I had with my slight weight gain. I always cooked at home, so no need to eat out. When they were desperate for masks, I just hopped on my sewing machine and made masks for myself and to mail to family. Even better, I have always stocked up and hibernated in winter, so I am not dealing with heavy bulky items all winter. So guess who had enough paper towels and toilet paper, laundry detergent, canned goods, and underwear to last through the entire shut down. lol. I did run out of canned peas 😢 😢
Definitely an introvert! In school I was voted class shyest, when I mention it to my friends now, they are shocked. I love being home and puttering on my days off.
Definitely sounds like me!! Love how you say "friendly introvert". I'm stealing that definition of myself going forward - thanks ❤
You got it! :):) Thanks so much for being here.
definitely sounds like me! I love to be home. It's where my dog, plants, and family are! 😁
To small talk or not to small talk is a regional thing too.
I live in a tiny town "way out yonder" with one grocery store. Most of necessities are available, at a price. Take T.P.- my favorite is about $2 a roll so I order all my non-perishables online from Walmart and pay less than $1 per roll for T.P., Have it shipped to my door (free with $35 minimum order). Some of my family live in cities and have the orders delivered for a charge plus a tip if/when they have medical issues and can't do the pickup.
Kate, you are the queen of intentionality!❤ 😂 Talking About the weather, for half an hour, would certainly cramp your style. Love your videos!!❤❤❤
Thanks so much Tressa!
Sounds like me! I used to wonder what was wrong with me but thankfully I’ve learned that there are many people who feel the same way. I love being home alone doing my thing.
Am an introvert definitely! Understand totally d brewing coffee part, checking accounts..checking notes ..glee in what can be, what will be.. Tks Kate for d chat ❤
I'm a friendly extrovert and I need my down time. Since I am retired from a friendly work place and full time with a quiet introvert husband I noticed my change to more enjoying the quiet. However, I have no problem letting loose the fun loving crazy person I can be. Fact is I love people and I love talking to them. 🤷♀️
YASSSS Melissa!
I'm an introvert,too.
Curbside pickup saves money by removing impulse buys.
And,not battling people who park in the checkout lane,then shop
Yasss🙌
Friendly introvert here!
Sounds like me!!!! People just don’t understand us.
Great video, Kate! I 100% agree with all of these tips... especially automating things in general. If i can't do something online, I'm probably not going to do it, or will procrastinate until the very last minute. Another friendly introvert here! I work with the public and I enjoy it... it's just soooooo exhausting. I get like 98% of my social need through work, so it's easy for me to say no to social commitments (any social time is usually reserved for close friends and family).
Thanks so much!!! Always so happy to see you!
I'm an introvert. But I think it will be helpful for extroverts frugal living tips also.
Is exactly me. I do not like social gatherings at all, especially in my older age. I do not mind grocery shopping, but do get delivery maybe twice a month. I do pay 13.00 dollars a month plus tip but it is worth not bringing groceries up full flight of stairs, or I should say husband not bringing up stairs. My husband went to out of state for 11 days, never left house, and stayed with my elderly dog and loved maintaining my happy place, and taking care of my fur baby, did not miss being with others. 😊🌸 I am also very friendly with people when out.
Sounds like me! My late husband was a friendly introvert too. Especially after he retired, we enjoyed our time at home. He would listen to Talk Radio in the mornings downstairs and I would bead, knit, read, etc in my craft room. Then we would have lunch together and chat. Afternoons, he worked in his garden and I would work on any house projects. I do know, if I attend any kind of evening events (baby shower, wedding shower, etc.), my sleep that night will be wrecked. My mind catalogs the outfits people wore, the cute purses I saw, the kind of snacks put out, the gifts and the wrapping paper so I can finally get some rest.
Thanks so much for sharing with us!!
I love chatting with people and getting my own groceries. One time my hubby and I were in a store and I chatted with a guy for over 1/2 hr about farming. When we parted ways, my hubby asked who that was, I told him I had no idea-lol My Dad was the same way but my Mom was the total opposite. Guess which gene pool I got :)
Grocery pick up is a game changer for me a 63-year-old woman still working full-time plus. I don’t have the time even more than the energy and I spend less money because I don’t pick up things that I don’t need.
I hear you!
I always thought of myself as an extroverted introvert .... when pandemic hit I realized how much of an introvert I actually am.
Another introvert here. The quiet morning coffee? The best! Need time to recharge. I clean peoples houses and often am around them. I actually love it because they’re my tribe lol. My people are my social circle. I get home and it’s back to the charger. I’m like a roomba, need to be docked lol. Weddings? Awful. Already as a child I tried to get out of busy activities. Puttering around my house and garden are the best. Having pets around me is my life. For 15 years, I was in an abusive relationship, business at home and 3 children. My boundaries were seriously broken. Took a total breakdown and escaping and years to rebuild it. Like you, I’m a friendly introvert. I’m interested in how you are really doing. My mom is the opposite so doesn’t understand me. My dad was the one person that didn’t drain me. Thanks for today’s video 😊🇨🇦
My husband and I had to put our dog down Wednesday 😢 the past 3 months vet visits $1500. He had cancer. Paid off only 2 debts of my goal of 5. But the vet is paid in full each visit, that's a win in my books. Intense savings and intentional mindset for next 3 months to get back on track.
I am so sorry for your loss 😞 Sending you prayers and good thoughts!!
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤🌈 🐾
So sorry for your loss!! I just spent $1k on a cat with leukemia, hand feeding him for a week. He didn't recover and needed assistance getting to Heaven. Emotionally traumatizing too..My 27-1/2 yo beloved horse had to be released from his broken body in January. Will be grieving my furry kids for awhile. Hard to catch up financially now ..
Sending virtual hugs and understanding. I'm so sorry for your loss. I fully understand.
@Sasa-pm7jc sending condolences. The pain is real. Hoping you are feeling better.
In a store where I know a staff member will appear and ask if there's anything I can help them with, I see one coming and I say "good morning, I don't need any help at the moment, but I'll give you a shout if at any point i do". Seems to work like a charm. It's not mean, they feel seen, they know I'll shout if I need help, and I'm not being hovered over while I shop.
Introvert, too people-y out there😊 .. Quiet morning coffee hour to start while bkfst waits. Everything planned (written down) night before. Homestead, work, more homestead, then morning in reverse😊
I’m probably a combination of both! I do enjoy my time alone to read, crochet, etc. But I also enjoy being with family and friends on occasion. Going to our local Farmers Market is a good way to get out of the house, pick up some good produce, and possibly pass the time with people I see.
I am an introvert and I prefer to be alone but also miss being out and about.❤❤❤
Sounds like me! Give me a book and cuddles with my fur babies and I am a happy woman 🙂
My hubby is my grocery store pickup 🙂I will make the list and he will grab it all on his way home. I don't have to go to the store or make the dreaded small talk. I am like you, I hate it.
I take it a step or 2 further... I subscribe to hello fresh for meals, no need to shop or choose what to make. I get other stuff delivered only needing a few things once a month, the store I use has a minimum order of £35 to qualify for free delivery. I also buy things in bulk like toilet rolls and toothpaste etc saving me 50% per item on the non bulk cost. I live in the UK.
Extrovert here, although I also require some alone time and could hermit for a few days. 😊 I'm the opposite about chatting; I don't like deep conversation. I almost panic if someone starts getting all share-ish.
Thanks so much for sharing with us!!! Yes some people hate DEEP TALK! HAHAHA!
Grocery pickup is the best!!!
Happy frugal Friday, Kate! :-) Awesome frugal video on introverts because I am an introvert as well! And how is the weather? Lol! JK. One thing I do is cook foods that I might order at a restaurant so I don’t have to communicate with others a restaurant all the time! And it also budget friendly! Lol! Have an awesome frugal Friday! BOOM!
BOOM!
I'm a fellow friendly introvert. One tip I can share is to stock your home with things to keep you occupied so that you can enjoy what you love at home. Examples: *If you like a delicious cup of coffee made a certain way--be sure to stock your favorite beans/creamer/etc. and have a mug handy that you love (mugs matter! lol). *If you enjoy reading, make sure you have a couple of books lined up ahead of time. *If you enjoy a nice bath, make sure you keep bath oils/soaps, etc. on hand. Whatever it is you like doing, be ready with whatever that requires. When you have time to relax, you're ready to go.
I am the opposite, I am more of a shy extrovert. I love small group things. I am on board and do these things as well. I enjoy quiet time in the morning but feel drained if I were to go days without human interaction.
“Sounds like me”
YES that is me - I'm a super friendly and nurturing person. But I do need my quiet and alone time. I think it's why I'm able to work where I do which is very public and then go home and chilax thank you for all the tips!
sounds like me and yes I’m very friendly
Loved this topic, Kate. Really enjoyed hearing about your morning rituals. Like your analogy of recharging one's batteries. The ebb and flow is real. Some activities deplete our energy more than others. I like your idea of allotting a limited amount of time to social interaction. I need to husband my energy well, too, because my empathetic self gives so much care and attention to others. I love talk that matters: building community, sharing humour, learning about skills, activities, or events. I'm an idea person, I like to understand and see the big picture. I think you are providing a wonderful contribution by building this community that we can all participate in, regardless of our personality. You go, girl! My best frugal tip is to make your own choices. You decide how to spend (or invest) your time and money. You can say "No" to what exceeds your financial or energetic resources.
YASS!
Introvert, and with age less and less friendly😅 Happy friday Kate💖💖💖
You are me!!! I love grocery pickup, I need a lot of downtime. TGIF. ❤
Definite introvert. Used to work at a place where we did personality tests one day. Extroverted Supervisor did not understand Introverts at all. Whelp. Anyhoo.... my tip is the Public library, introverts love reading. If you really want zero interaction there are ebooks ! Magic !
Yes it would be of benefit for extroverts
Oh god and sometimes when you hire someone to do DIY tasks they try to do chatting with you while they do the work, and...kill me.
I'd rather do the work myself.
Sounds like me!!! Although I’m having my family over tomorrow for a Father’s Day celebration. There will be about 25 people!! It will be fun, but that will be my social interaction for the rest of the month😄😄
Family😁❤️
Sounds like me.
Small talk is the worst! I had a greeting with my Dad whenever he’d call when my children were little. We’d both say hello, then I’d say “Dispense with the pleasantries!” And he’d get straight to the point of the call. That’s the same basic idea as your “give me the juice”. Let’s get to the important topics and not waste time on unimportant things. I’ve often wished for a sticker on my forehead that shows my social battery level, so it’s funny that you mentioned that same idea.
I'd never heard this term before you spoke about it, but boy can I relate! I like people -- in small doses and small groups. I enjoy conversation but can't stand crowds and loud noises. No concerts for me! Most of my hobbies are solo interests, like knitting and reading but I involve others by being in knit and visit groups and a guild and being in book discussion groups. I'm eager to retire so I can move away from my giant city to a smaller city, not rural though.
YASSS Cathy!
Sounds like me but friendly to those who are friendly to me, which is less and less😆
I love alone time the most once work is done I'm happy to go home and relax with my cat
Yasssss
4:28 4:35 grocery pick up saved my life! I pick up once a month. I live in an apartment complex and there is a lot of chatty people here. I removed the second chair from my patio so people don't have a place to sit, and put a do not disturb sign on my door. I am friendly when I do encounter people, but it's only because I've been able to recharge.
I am definitely and introvert who has force myself to do things socially. I love to go to the gym, walking, shopping alone.
As an introvert, I really enjoy the library. There is nothing like a cheap and easy-access place that is entirely dedicated to books AND where the first requirement is to be silent 😅..... and where it's very rarely crowded with people
Love it!
I can't even begin to tell you how much I relate this! Having the ability to order groceries online has truly been positively life changing! I also cant stand small talk. I need the juice!!! Small talk is so draining and unfulfilling. ❤
YASSSS Lisa!
I’m a bit of both. Hate working from home. I need some days my fix of friends at work.
Love the mix of both!
Sounds like me too, I am an introvert as well. We share the same love of morning rituals, feed my cat and get myself fresh coffee together. Great topic and fun video!
My sister and I put up a wall cabinet in the bathroom rather than pay a handyman but the doors are loose😢
Hello Kate, I'm not an introvert but prefer to be alone most of the day. Alone most of the time and don't mind.
I have wonderful friends which I enjoy having in my life.
I do online shopping and automatic payments for the same reasons you do. I'm so grateful for this service being delivered to my house.
I am an introvert and I am a shopper for Instacart. It’s great for not seeing people, just shop and drop off their groceries, but I can honestly tell you that I wish more people appreciated the work that goes into shopping for others the way that you do. It is really hard to pick out food for strangers sometimes and we really rely on the tips to make any money. Grocery pickup is different because they are hourly employees employed by the store.
Thank you for all of your great content!! You’re awesome!!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us and for being here!!!! I appreciate you!!!
I think I'm actually a 50/50 introvert/extrovert but since I talk to people most of the day at work, I tend to spend most of my time outside of work alone and enjoying it. It's easy to do since I live alone. On the weekend, I usually visit with people in person on Saturdays and take Sundays for myself. I have a standing visit with my closest friend every Saturday, who's also single without children and living alone. We generally hang out and share what happened during our week. I also visit my parents every couple of weeks. All of that is very easy and enjoyable. It's not demanding at all because I can just be myself and don't need a large reserve of energy. But I don't spend enough time with my other friends. I've been thinking recently that I should add them in on the Saturdays I don't visit my parents. Then I'd get to see them more frequently and still have Sundays to myself.
Sounds like me. I love being by myself to recharge. 😍
I love my instant coffee that I can froth up if I want to and drink once my son goes off to school and would never stop having this first coffee of the day, and hate small talk and good friendship is where they respect your space and not be offended by having some a day out by yourself.
YASSSS!
speaking my introverted language. ❤ grocery pick about to switch stores to save$
I love shopping in person, but I do not love that many people, so I go with a list and a plan, I go at antisocial hours (my nearest supermarket opens at 6am, it's pharmacy opens at 8am), and i go fast when I'm in there. If people want to catch me in there for small talk, they better be quick!
As someone who WFH most of the time even the fee for grocery delivery is worth it to me. I don't have anywhere that I have to be so a pick up forces me to get dressed, leave the house, use gas, be in traffic, etc. a lot of things I willingly pay $6-8 fee to avoid. Granted I don't buy much fresh and it can be hit or miss in what is selected when I do, but if I were big into fresh produce I'd find a local farmers market instead anyway.
I will be to late but rewatch asap. K-squad have a great week🎉
See you soon!
I hear you girl♥️👍🏻😃 You described me😮😊 Thanks for sharing 🤗
Absolutely a friendly introvert here.
My tip is to do online clothing shopping and order several sizes. That qualifies for free shipping and simplifies life.
Treat your home as a fitting room and the return process as if you were in the store handing back the items you didn’t like.
You end up with clothes you like, that fit you AND YOU GET TO SEE that THEY GO WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE.
Returns are inconvenient but if you balance that against the fatigue of the mall, time wasted finding a parking spot, all the distractions and buying other things on impulse it pretty soon turns into a bargain.
Double the savings of time and energy if you hate dealing with pushy salespeople. Or returns at the mall explaining to the pushy salesperson who got you to buy the item you brought home and hate.
You don’t have to spend $ on a coffee in the mall to recharge your energy to drive home after an exhausting day shopping.
The line up at the post office for the return process looks better and better.
Just order the full range of sizes and colours in each item that you think might do and return everything that didn’t work out.
I do this twice a year now ahead of spring/summer and fall/winter to replace any worn out items or fill a gap. It’s part of my seasonal switch in my closet.
I do project 333 and doing the twice yearly online clothing shopping has saved me way more than when I got suckered into buying every sale rack whenever I went shopping.
This is hilarious. I have been doing this for years but never thought of it as being my introverted self lol. I hate shopping malls and trying on clothes.
@@jinnemee7327 it took me forever to figure it out and a friend told me to do this. She runs her own travel agency with several employees and doesn’t have any extra time. It made SO much sense. I haven’t looked back since.
