      Hey Michelle, there are anti barking devices that go off automatically when your dog barks! It emits an ultrasonic sound that we can’t hear. I used it on my dog for a week during lockdown when he kept interrupting video meetings with barking at delivery people. Within a week he learned to stop barking completely. They don’t hurt, they just startle the dog. Good luck!

    A good tip on doby's anxiety from someone who has had dogs all their life. The best way to work on it is to get dressed as if your leaving, walk out the door and just stand outside the front door for five minutes, do this everyday and gradually increase the time you either stand outside the door or leave the apartment to run errands. That way he'll start to understand that when you leave out the front door, you'll always come came. He'll slowly start to feel less anxouis when you leave the apartment!

      yes, the answer is not to stay home with him, that is very unlikely to do any progress for the separation anxiety :) this is the way I've always been taught/read to train a puppy to get used to being left alone. it can be harder for people who work from home a lot so their dog doesn't really get used to being alone, but its good to train them to be okay with it so both the dog and the owner can live and enjoy their time freely

    Just a suggestion: staying at home with Dobby is actually worse for his anxiety. His separation anxiety won’t get better if you continue to stay with him. You should get dressed and watch him see you get dressed. Then step outside the door for 5-10 mins and come back in, gradually increasing the time. He’ll eventually understand that you’ll always come back.

      Separation anxiety in a dog is superrrr hard to break, I have had my dog for a year now and have sent her to boarding and trained long days and I have to rehome her now since my apartment neighbors are complaining and she never improved. Luckily, she will be rehomed to my dad but still the severity of it is real and I would recommend a trainer asap as staying home is probably making it worse as you said.

    I've also become extremely introverted since I started working from home a year ago and the only downside I see is feeling exhausted after a day/night out with other people. It really feels like it's not me and I am just trying to be someone else for others and I just want to go home and be happy with myself like I have built such strong confidence and comfort within myself. For now I will enjoy it and worry about it later lol

      Humans are not meant to be alone. Humans also aren’t meant to be doing things they don’t want to do all the time :) if you don’t want to meet people right now then recharging is the best thing you can do. It will allow you to be in a more peaceful mind space. So once you Do step outside and Do meet people those connections will be formed between two happy peaceful humans and the relationship will have a better chance flourishing.
      When you’re feeling uneasy people feel it. Hard to form relationships that way.

    It’s nice and fuzzy to have your partner as also your best friend. As long as they aren’t your ONLY friend and you still nurture those friendships you already have even if you don’t have it in you to go seek out new friendships to cultivate. Bc the reality is romantic relationships can be less stable than platonic ones no matter how great both persons are and how well intended they are- ofc friendships also end sometimes. My journey with relationships (generally) has been learning to let go of certain notions like having a bff for 10+/ wtv time frame I think is cool to be able to say. And rather focus on investing in quality existing relationships and going with the ebb and flow of which friendships are showing up more for me at a particular time, giving myself grace and giving others grace not even for them but for my own peace of mine. I’m definitely anxiously attached lol. Thank god for therapy!

    The time lapse cleaning was so soothing, lol. I am a total introvert who is extroverted with friends when I see them (not too frequently ;) and I live in the heart of Chicago and love it. For me, I also love to stay home most of the time but being in a bustling community makes me feel more connected. If I lived out in the burbs, I’d never talk to anyone probably 😂. Even those small impersonal interactions with people on the street, at stores, etc gives me enough personal interaction to not feel isolated and alone ❤. But it’s also very dependent on each person’s personality and what makes them happy.

    Hey Michelle! I wanted to say that I am in the same boat as you when it comes to friendships and being introverted in NYC. Being here makes me feel so bad about myself that I am not making friends and forming connections as easily as others. I feel forced to create connections and form relationships with people that I know deep down don't align with me. A part of me thinks that this comes from just wanting to be liked by others. I do think that this introverted ness in us spikes as we age and it definitely makes me think that I am not normal for being this way.
    I just appreciate you taking the time to share how you feel because it made me realize that I am not the only one feeling this way, and I want you to know that you are not alone! Thank you for being you!

    Thank you for speaking about friendships. I think you value more about the “quality” of relationships versus the quantity. I find it hard to make friends these days as well bc interests change and how much you’re willing to work to keep that friendship…focus on the good people in your life and you’ll find a lot of value to hold on to.

    Hi Michelle! My pup has separation anxiety too, I found if you are home all day, puting them in a separate room away from you like your bedroom while you are still in the house really helps, as they can still hear that you are there so it's more comforting and then they get used to the idea of being away from you!

    im 26 now and am also on my introvert stage, sometimes I also get worry about not leaving the house or not socialize too much as I use to, but then I also remember (as u show us before on a video) that maybe I already made all of the socializating part on my early 20s and also when I was at the university, I think now I really enjoy been with myself, like im more focus on my self, as u said on this video: you are using the energy in positive things for u, like u know what u want now and u know yourself more so maybe u are just becoming the comfort zone that u always wanted :)

    I’ve had a friend that would always gas light and put me down saying I won’t be able to do anything because I’m an introvert. I realized during my entire 20s that I started getting really bad anxiety because of her. I got engaged at 28, and she started belittling me at a cafe about my ring and she kept saying her ring was $10,000 so how much was yours??!! I remember feeling so upset telling her I told him I don’t care about a diamond ring because I want to buy a house. I always told my husband when I was dating him I don’t want an expensive ring so for her to argue with me saying he’s cheap for getting me a moissanite and not a diamond ring was so rude of her!!! It’s interesting how she wanted to put me down at my engagement meet up. Instead of congratulating me she wanted to compare rings and till this day so many people stop and tell me my ring is so pretty, so now I know it was her insecurity and jealousy. That’s when I I finally quit our friendship after 10 years together. When I told my best friend she stood up for her saying no she’s joking so what’s the big deal. Than she made it about herself saying you guys are engaged and I’m not so it’s childish to fight over this. So that was the end of the negative friendship. My husband is my best friend too and so are my toddlers. I’m happy I no longer talk to people that bring you down when you are happy. We bought a house last year and I have the cutest 4 year old daughter and the cutest 20 month old son. It’s interesting how friends can come and go so don’t stress out because when you get married and have kids you naturally get new friends through your kids.
    (It’s definitely a warning sign when your friends are jealous of you and always comparing themselves to you!!! I never understood that and was naive that was normal. 10 years was a very long time, but felt so free and happy when I decided to just let them go their own path in life. Sometimes your path and theirs are very different and it’s healthy to just let go.)

    I've been unemployed for almost 4 mos now and i'd say it has also made me reach the peak of my introvertedness. Like I could literally count the times i went out since then. But the best thing I realized about it is that now, I have truly known my priorities and my clearer vision in life I guess. Grateful for your videos Michelle. Its so reassuring to watch, making us validate our own feelings too and overcome from stress and anxiety. I'll be working again 2 weeks from now, btw. Time to get out again of my shell 🙂

    I was born introverted and just stayed that way, now I am used to it. In the past I've had friends and done things but now I am alone. Sometimes I feel like I connect with someone but then I turn shy. The funny thing is that with communicating on TH-cam with the people I follow I have created friends. I am use to just my own company but it is really nice when I get a reply. I write what I feel sometimes it's poetry for their birthdays or just simple words of encouragement. I think you will always look young and I'm happy that romance is in your life. I also am happy for you making something special with your life in becoming an influencer, running your own company and having Dobby as a companion. You are a strong woman who has done really well for herself and is kind and sweet throughout all the struggles of just living in this world. I am happy for that and for you and the many experiences that will follow, to make you feel special, which is a pretty nice thing. Take care, my love and spirit always, Michelle!! ❤ 💕❤

    Feel like I'm at the same "introvert" stage of life and glad to hear you sharing the thoughts. You've spoken my mind. I dont think it's a "dangerous" thing to put ourselves in a comfortable position. Because of age, experience, and perspectives, we are no longer in need of proving ourselves.

    I have got the same feeling like you unnie in the past, since I was studying abroad about 7yrs in Canada. I finally got back to Korea, but what I felt after coming back from Canada was it is just exactly same feeling as what I have in Canada:-). I was so lonely and it was hard to make friend since I moved to different places alot, but there is just natural thing I think. Just not thinking too much is enough🙃 As you said in the video, if it happens to make friend or it doesn't. It will not matter to us. Better to have a break and give us more to think it little back behind!❤

  • @virgosun_

    Re:introvertedness, As you grow, you learn that life really is relatively simple & the things you treasure the most, peace of mind, a home you love, family, friends, special times are most valuable. “Fun” & the rest have their place. I absolutely love your new place, & the curtains give it such a polished look. Your videos are awesome 💯🥰

    Michelle, I am 30 year old woman who also moved from SoCal, to NYC, to now rural Canada; The older Ive gotten I have appreciated the few friends I have because they are SOLID. So dont feel odd that your friend group isnt huge or that you want things to happen more naturally. When it comes to friendships, new and old, it is what it is :)
