The holidays can bring anxiety.

It’s a season of gatherings, where sociability is celebrated.

But for some of us, the idea of attending events & meeting folks is overwhelming.

In a world that values outgoing personalities, it’s OK to be introverted.

Many artists are shy.

The Economist writes, “Shyness & creativity often go hand in hand.”

Being peculiar or reserved isn’t a flaw.

It’s part of what makes us unique.

So this season (and every season!), if you’d rather keep to yourself, remember that some of the most celebrated creators felt the same way.
