Hi! I'm Alane Freund.

Introverted or Isolated?

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

​

I love being introverted. I love the quiet and time spent either alone or in intimate relationships with dear ones (including my animals.)
​
But I can become isolated and many introverts can.

Isolation Warning Signs might include:

  • Negative self-talk
  • More anxious feelings
  • Feeling lonely more than usual or more regularly
  • Losing track of time
  • Less interest in solo fun
  • Longer times between calling friends or family
  • Dishes or laundry piling up
  • Irritable and not able to shift it
  • Lingering sadness or sorrow
  • Waves of grief resurfacing and sticking around

Do you need support? If you notice these warning signs, reach out for help. In the US, we have a mental health 911 line, 988. If you call or text 988, there are counselors available for mental health crises. Also, you can get support by texting Home to 741741.

Have you ever had an intro chat with me? If not, let's talk. I'm offering 15 minute intro chats for the next 90 days for our Ask Alane Anything campaign. I'd like to know what you're thinking and how I could best be of service.

The Ask Alane Anything campaign is a launch for our new course opening up at the end of the campaign. This course will cover topics from HSP 101 to innovative tools for living a life you love.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Blessings and breath,

Alane

Beautiful, plant-based breakfast spread in Costa Rica including homemade granola, tropical fruits and yummy breakfast bread with chocolate.

Dear Reader, Pre-Breakfast Breakfast... How is that HSP friendly? Remember, you were born to be the emotional and spiritual leader, the priestly advisor or the shaman. You awaken to discover a hot drink on your doorstep. You wander to the kitchen and find a luxurious spread of nourishing food and a hot drink refill table, but it's not time for breakfast yet, you are just on your way to a morning meditation, stretch, yoga, hike, or a sit in the garden... When you are practicing emotional...
