Hello, B! I am an introvert, super sensitive and I get irritated easily. Although I am not like that all the time, may mga times talaga na I wish I have more patience for some people. I am working on it though. So my question is, what keeps you sane when you're annoyed or having a bad day? :D
In order to learn how to discipline our emotions, we need to understand ourselves - why we react the way we do, why we are the way we are. Think of ourselves as a computer and in order for it to function right, we need to know how it works so we can troubleshoot it SPECIFICALLY.
You say you are an introvert. Therefore, you are aware that too much outside stimulus affects you easily. That is great that you are aware of this. This is called self-awareness.
While extroverts get their energy from their surroundings and from other people, introverts are the opposite: you recharge from within, without the need for anything or anyone else. Some think this is so emo but think of it as a good thing.
You cannot control all the drama around you but the one thing you can control is your attitude towards it. Being an introvert, it is ALREADY in your nature to harness the strength and patience from within. So use it power. This means, no matter what shit is thrown at you, if you got your shit together from the inside, you are unshakeable.
To stay sane, positive and even gain new perspective in almost any situation, you just need to try to find some alone time. Be it in a bathroom cubicle, a chapel, inside your car, fire exit or any place you can find some peace and quiet even just for 5-10minutes. It really is about inhaling the new energy from that momentary isolation then exhaling all the negative energy.
Actually, this is a form of meditation but I don't want to say that because others don't really understand or believe in its effectivity. So best to call it alone time - Me Time. Trust me: IT ALWAYS WORKS.
