I find most of the solutions to the obstacles I face either in my dreams. Or in the morning while I am in the bathroom.

I don’t know how/why it works in details, but it does.

When I am stuck and can’t find a valid solution while awaken with my conscious/rational brain, I usually start to feel exhausted, and take a nap.

In some cases, I find the answer during the nap.

I assume that it’s because of the capacity of the brain to freely associates ideas and elements of answers, while we are asleep, without any barrier, or limiting thoughts.

I observed that it doesn’t work like a magical trick, it’s a tendency.

In a similar way, I always need a ton of “alone time” to think and process (introverted people), while the World seem to be made for people who are drawn to a painful amount of social interactions (extraverted people).

In such a World, I used to feel guilty for enjoying my own company more than I enjoyed others’.

To the point I convinced myself I didn’t like people, when I was still a kid. And that others were just here to mock me and make me waste my time.

It took years to process and understand what introversion was,

and that I actually enjoy people, a lot, but for a limited amount of time per day.

Most of the people I regularly interact with today, perfectly understand me when I say: “sorry I can’t meet/talk right now, I need time for me.”

And it makes all the difference.

I don’t feel guilty anymore for “locking myself in my room”, to write, read or think. Even for hours in a row.

I guess it’s no surprise, that I end up living on a small remote island in the middle of nowhere.

With the right balance of possibility for limited, and chosen, social interactions, this place will eventually become a paradise for introverted people.

And a challenging self-exploration journey for the extraverted ones..
