Introverted Black Women? PART 1 - An older Black Woman's view. Not for you? MOVE ON.

57 where? , you look great

Exactly, be authentically you.

I like your channel. I'm so glad I found you. Happy to know I'm not the only one who has this demeanor.

U love what she’s saying. I’m a white 74 year old man. I have been mostly quiet my whole life. I speak to my friends. I love talking to people but generally like being quiet. I believe what you say as this moment being the best I will ever be because my whole life has brought me here.

My friends don’t understand what I mean when they ask me how I’m doing every day or how my life has been.

Every day they ask and I tell them that I’m great, it’s a wonderful day. When asked about how I liked my life I tell them the worst day of my life was absolutely wonderful. ( Believe me I have had some very bad days too).

Every single day is another chance. A blessing to be here for another adventure. A chance to meet someone new, to talk to people, possibly to change someone’s life for the better. God bless and keep you. Be the joy you want to see in the world every day.

😢😢

Thank you for sharing this. I've gotten more introverted as I live on earth..lol. But I remember in High school, some of the other Black girls would "bully" or tease me for "sounding white", whatever that meant to them. So I tried to sound more Black to fit in. I wish I had this knowledge then...❤

Well said thank u

Qui allume ce feu?? D'où vient ça ???

As a 56yr old blackman, I have NEVER NEVER, LOKED OR WANTED A LOUD RUDE, DISRESPECTFUL, NO CLASS, NO TACT, as a woman whom i would date or marry...I need to be proud of my woman in public & private, cursing like a sailor and calling yourself a bitch is Not for me...I love and appreciate the woman who has high standards & Self respect.❤❤❤ 🤎🖤

Nobody wants to get along and share expenses responsibly. As such, bills are difficult to handle in more ways than one. People want to go it alone in the society built on pluses and minuses then there’s nothing more to complain about. If two people are bringing home $2,000 per month each, and each of them are paying $1,200 a month in rent that’s only going to leave each one $800 to pay their utilities and food, transportation etc. But if both people can ‘get along’ and live in one place, each paying $600 each towards the rent then they have $1,400 each in their pockets to spend. Or they both can move up to a more expensive home. 🤷🏼🤔

I was always been labelled anti social my whole life. And I am 59. I just do not want to be anyone else. This is me!!!

Hi! I've just seen your video. I too am 57 years old (don't mind saying that - I was never bothered about numbers). I too have been told during my lifetime that I am too stuck up. Why can't I be socialable? That I am a closed book. Whenevr I decided to open the pages, my words were twisted, leaving me feeling very hurt. I like to be alone but I remain guarded. Some people don't like it when I'm withdrawn but they also do not try to undeestand why. So now, rather than open up again, I write poetry to get me through which has been therapeutic. I am doing me! Thank you for sharing your story. Mine is entering another chapter and continues to evolve! Stay blessed!🙏🏽

Authentic self

Do you really mean "RESERVED," NOT "INTROVERTED?" Cautious? The stereotype is more likely of Black women being extroverted, loud, belligerent

Im 41 black introverted and seems people always hating. Especially YT women.

Some people just want to be nosey. And when you are quiet and reserved they don't know how to take you. It's more about their insecurities than about you.

I’ve come to accept that I’m not for everybody, everybody isn’t for me,I know a lot of people but I’m not friends with many, just acquaintances or grew up together in the same neighborhood or schools, but when it comes to the workplace,I treat it just like the projects I grew up in, body language, vibes, or energy tells me about people before they even speak, you can’t trust no one who’s not paying your bills, feeding you, or sexing you, even in those realms you have to stay guarded, people tend to have hidden agendas so I don’t mind being an introvert I love my peace‼️

I prefer quiet women because I am a quiet man.

Exactly, how I feel from a man's point 👉 of view

I’m a natural born loner. I find more interest in my self, by myself. I use to ❤want to change, ask GOD why am I like this? But I found out I’m just set aside, different I’m an introvert love me, hate me I am, who I am and now I become to embrace it.

That's it in a nutshell!!👏👏

Love this. New sub. Thank you so much!

Thank you for this. Thoughtfully said!🙌🏾

I just turned 30 a couple of months ago. The more I am around people the more I realize people aren’t sh*t. I believe my personality is very inviting which enables others to cross me or disrespect me. I LOVE who I am as a person but sometimes I have to take a step back and not engage with others only when necessary.

☹😠😡☻AS a black person we are always under the microscope

I just had my 56th birthday and I know that insecure folks are going to manufacture fantasies to make them comfortable with you.

You are know where near being in your prime,, stop changing the meaning of the words to make yourself feel good, and be honest with yourself and the younger females. That lie totally diluted the truth that was being told in the rest of the message

Thank you for this

Thank you!

I am an introvert but do work in service arena. I'm just not into dealing with a bunch of people. When I'm on a crowded bus, i scream inside and can't wait to get back to the solitude of my apartment. Not all people are bad but most, I can just do without dealing with them. Co-workers are just that and nothing more. When I'm off, i just get excited at thought of not dealing with a bunch of folks. I keep the contact to a minimal. I thought I was crazy for thinking like this. Thank you for allowing me to share.

I am an introvert as well. I often find it exhausting listening to people talk and talk and talk yet they say very little of value. When I was younger I was often thought of as a snob, super shy or, worst of all, stupid. It bothered me and my mother would say to me: "Still waters run deep".
I found this description of that phrase that I believe describes you 50 Plus Self Care Journey: The phrase still waters run deep is used to say that people with shy, reserved dispositions are often very profound, passionate, and intelligent underneath their calm, quiet demeanors—with many interesting ideas and thoughts. Their placid manner hides a subtle nature, or a complexity that is not immediately clear and obvious. In other words, the phrase describes people who have more going on internally than is apparent externally. FWIW I am a 68 year old white woman who is at peace with myself and God.

Thank you!

Once she started speaking, I connected with her. It's in her demeanor and calm, soothing spirit....you can't miss it ......unless you are an extrovert.

Sis!! TY (& Commentors) for addressing this topic with sensitivity!! I grew up in a small town in the SE US (in the country), and being quite reserved and 'bookish', was labeled as stuck up, by the general populace of said town. Even my mother - who was an iconic community leader - would say about me (to others, in my presence, of course) would often say "I want L... to have personality! - from which I inferred that I wasn't good enough. In any case, as a mature woman - now Great G'mother - I honor my Self as well as others who also identify as 'introverted' or shy. Labels can be hurtful, but only if accepted and internalized! Blessings all, and let's just keep being ourSelves (I'll do so, over here in my house, with my cats, or on solitary walks/runs, or... you get the idea :). All the best...LD

I'm 60 and subbed.

I’m 59 a lot of times ppl have always judged me as stuck up or mean. As a child l was a loner so l’m still that way. It’s ok.

You are a beautiful Queen salute,you look good for your age ,you look like you in your early thirties.

Im 49, and i dont want to be bothered with anyone, ever. I love my privacy and solitude. People mistake is as being stuck up and thinking your better than everyone else. When in actuality. You just dont have time for people and their drama

Thank you for this video. I have been a loner basically all my life. I am 65 and happy to be able to say that. All my life I have been called antisocial, and some other negative names because I don't talk much. I speak when I have something to say. Everything does not need a comment. Married, but still alone.

I"am into you spiritual blackwoman.Thank you so much one Love 😍. Ellis

Thank you 🤎🤎🤎

03 16 24 THANKS.

You look amazing.

It was a hard lesson to learn because, yes, we are still social beings even as introverts, but again: Co-workers are NOT your friends. It will be a rare, perhaps once in a lifetime occurrence if you make a real friend out of a co-worker. I have found that, as soon as you share even a little of your private life in a workplace, it often gets turned against you, especially if you are not part of the majority working there, but sometimes even if you are. Again, protect your energy and your peace.

Authenticity. Amen. Be your beautiful self, everyone.

great video, as a man I felt a connection with you and a lot you said.

People are People I'm a 58 year old white male you're right just be yourself love life ❤

We are missing on this platform and so many young women, especially younger black women need to hear our stories.
