Episode 2771: Jenn Granneman explores how introverts can find harmony in relationships, whether with a fellow introvert or an extrovert, by understanding their own emotional needs and communication styles. Drawing on insights from Sophia Dembling's Introverts in Love, she highlights how different temperaments can complement or challenge each other, showing that mutual respect, communication, and compromise matter more than personality labels. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://introvertdear.com/news/introverts-should-you-marry-an-introvert-or-an-extrovert/ Quotes to ponder: “Sometimes it's hard for extroverts to understand that you don't need quiet time to get away from them, but because you need quiet time. It's not personal.” “You are likely to enjoy similar activities, whether they're long hikes, listening only to birds, long evenings on the couch with a book, or long weekends in the house binge-watching Game of Thrones.” “It's important that introverts understand that it is our responsibility to articulate our needs. You need to speak up in a way that is clear and loving, and catch yourself if you find you're being passive-aggressive.” Episode references: Introverts in Love: The Quiet Way to Happily Ever After: https://www.amazon.com/Introverts-Love-Quiet-Happily-Ever/dp/0399170618 Learn more about your ad choices.

One of the most common themes I come across when talking to writers is the frustration of being a creative, sensitive person… but wanting to build a successful business and doing all the things that requires. In some ways, that's the eternal question for creative people: how do you balance art and commerce? That's a huge question we can't answer in one episode, but I'm thrilled to bring you a conversation with someone who can absolutely point us in the right direction. Jenn Granneman is the co-author, along with her co-writer Andre Sólo, of the new book Sensitive: The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person in a Loud, Fast, Too-Much World. She's also the author of The Secret Lives of Introverts. Both of these are wonderful books for writers! Jenn is the founder of the popular website Introvert Dear, and she has dedicated her life to writing about topics like sensitivity and introversion after she realized how difficult it was to navigate a world that favors extroversion and insensitivity. She wrote her blog anonymously for almost two years because, as an introvert, she had no desire to be in the spotlight. Today, her mission is to empower introverts and sensitive people to embrace their innate strengths, and to start seeing their nature as a good thing. She's been featured in The New York Times, CNBC, The Guardian, and more. Sensitive was named an Amazon Editor's Pick for Best Nonfiction. In this conversation, we dive into topics from her new book. Jenn and I talk about the Sensitive Boost Effect, the connection between being an introvert and a sensitive person, advice for people who are worn out by social media and Zoom calls, advice for sensitive people and introverts on building a business, and much more. You can find out more about Jenn, read her blog, and grab all her social media links at https://IntrovertDear.com. I also recommend you check out Jenn's free quiz, available at https://sensitiverefuge.com. * * * Today's episode is sponsored by Vellum, the go-to book formatting software for indie authors who care about creating beautiful ebooks and print books.
