I've been tearing myself up over this for years and years and really bad this week due to a seemingly ended relationship with an extrovert that I truly love. After this site I am so relieved that it's just my personality and the things I do for me are not being anti-social, a hermit, or depressed, etc. My head has stopped spinning over this and has made my week and life take a great turn for the better. I plan to learn a lot more about it from your course someday. --Bob C."

1.10.2004 "Hi Nancy, I have just stumbled upon this site and I have to say it is facinating. I've had a good look around and have added it to my favourite places. I have to say that I agree with a lot of the information. I myself am an introvert and have anxiety problems also. I do feel different to other people and sometimes I feel frustrated and angry about this fact but as is explained extroverts out-number introverts and so I feel overwhelmed. I agree that extroverts do not understand intoverts and expect them to want to socialise, etc. I spend hours alone whilst my husband and little boy are at school. I think alot and I seem to be comfortable alone but sometimes bored and lonely. I have really enjoyed the site and look forward to returning. Kind Regards, Sarah"

1.22.2004 "The information in your emails helps me "keep going" and really feel more comfy with myself some days - thank you" -- Anon

2.15.2004 "Thanks for the insight. I was thinking about blogging in the weeks preceding the discovery of your site. Finding it, and you really helped me turn a corner. I understand myself so much better now. Hope all is well with you and yours," Kevin

3.22.2004 "Again, you saved the day for me last night by your responses to my desperate insecurities about being around big family gatherings with lots of little kids." --Dena

5.11.2004 "I stumbled across your website today. Very interesting stuff and I'm still not through with my perusing. I work with a few introverts, and I myself am one. Some of what you describe I understand completely. I thought my behavior was some maladaptive coping skill, only now I realize I'm just higher up the IQ ladder, where us "thrivers" tend to be. Warm regards, Kevin"

3.25.2004 "First of all, the site's helped me like you wouldn't believe. For once I don't shy away from who I really am, forcing myself to speak so I can break the silence with other people. It's over with, and I'm never looking back. Here's to ending small talk."

4.26.2004 "Now that I have learned I can only function from the back of the room, that as a conduit I have real power, "rich" does not begin to describe my real life."

5.16.2004 "On a personal note, lots of what you have said about introversion has resonated with me. The problems associated with it, I have identified with and it has given me solace to hear your responses and that it is ok to feel the way I do. That maybe there isn't anything wrong with me. This must be what a lot of people get from your work and it is amazingly valuable. I commend you for your work and insights."

5.25.2004 "I appreciate your guidance. It has been very helpful during this difficult time. I'll talk with you soon."

6.01.2004 "Thank you so much, Nancy, you give me lots to think about."

7.26.2004 "Thank you so much for bringing me into that wonderful circle! Each of those women is such a joy to experience. I had no idea how much I missed the company of good women. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are such a blessing to me!"

7.28.2004 "Thank you so very much for your insights and feedback Nancy - I know you are a very busy person and I really appreciate your responses - you have given me new confidence and insight into myself. Love and blessings to you...."

8.8.2004 "Thank you so much for bringing me into that wonderful circle! Each of those women is such a joy to experience. I had no idea how much I missed the company of good women. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are such a blessing to me!"

8.11.2004 "I have always known I was an introvert - but not many people can understand me - they think I am aloof when I am not. Some even think me an extrovert in the right circumstance and do not believe that I am an introvert - I guess that being a Pisces has some impact on this as well (ie. adapting to people and circumstances around me). Also, others are unable to understand that I am unable to answer immediately on most decisions and major questions - I need time to decide. I found the website extremely helpful. I have just ordered 2 books from the list. Thank you Nancy - I am finally able to say, at 33 years of age, that I am comfortable with who I am and am learning not to worry about what other people think (this is a big issue for me - which I guess is just me not accepting me for who I am). Thank you."

8.13.2004 "Nancy: I believe that was my last session? [She had signed up for coaching for one month.] ... If so, you can be assured that I will do this again and again - in the not too distant future. As you probably know -- your style of coaching is low key, but the results for myself have been amazing. I feel so totally motivated and excited about the starting of our business. I can see that it is my lead which will help motivate [the other person]."

8.15.2004 "You seem to have a direct connection to some sort of energy that keeps your classes fresh, interesting and very meaningful."

9.05.2004 "Yes your web site has a great flow to it, yes; as for being supportive to the individual, and offering a variety of helps and information and tutorials, I haven't seen anything like it. I hope and trust it grows and maximizes in results that are truly due."

10.22.2004 "I just received 'Top 10 Ways for Introverts to Improve the Quality of their Lives' and I feel so excited. It makes it all right to be introverted and I feel such freedom in this. I have always been introverted, love my space, being on my own, not feeling pressured into being with other people. I love reading, yoga, doing things on my own. I've always felt that this was not good, that I should be different, that I should love being with other people more often, that I should be more chatty, more fun, have more to say, have more answers, be more outspoken, be more able to speak what I think. Over the past 15 years I have done lots in terms of personal development. I've become more confident, assertive, and am able to speak more. But I still love my space, my privacy, being on my own, don't like being with people all of the time. What you have written and having visited your website has given me a different angle on things and has left me with the feeling that it is okay to be introverted and to be proud to be introverted. Thanks you for this."

11.11.2004 "Just wanted to say thank you so much for your article via CoachVille. I've become aware that these are the ways that I operate best and have been worrying about it up to now. My husband finds it hard to understand and thinks I'm making excuses - thank you so much for the validation. Yes - it's all about boundaries, isn't it. I especially love the meditation networking! Also #10. "Value what a good listener you are and don't give it away indiscriminately." Now this is the one I will be focusing on the most.
