- For the introverts among us, traditional forms activism like marches, protests and door-to-door canvassing can be intimidating and stressful. Take it from Sarah Corbett, a former professional campaigner and self-proclaimed introvert. She introduces us to "craftivism," a quieter form of activism that uses handicrafts as a way to get people to slow down and think deeply about the issues they're facing, all while engaging the public more gently. Who says an embroidered handkerchief can't change the world?

If you are an introvert, you are born with a temperament that craves to be alone, delights in meaningful connections, thinks before speaking and observes before approaching. If you are an introvert, you thrive in the inner sanctuary of the mind, heart and spirit, but shrink in the external world of noise, drama and chaos. As an introvert, you are sensitive, perceptive, gentle and reflective. You prefer to operate behind the scenes, preserve your precious energy and influence the world in a quiet, but powerful way.
Decode Channel couldn’t be put any better
Nice way to put a label on someone. If you say it a lot people will probably believe it.
Decide channel, well said. Thank you
thanks :D
Like planting seeds💚
I would like to remind people:
Introversion≠shyness
Please people, being an introvert means you get tired by being around people, but that does not mean that you have to be shy.
That's just each person
I'd like to take a moment to thank the speaker for this talk. As a fellow introvert, I hear and empathize with every quiver in her voice. I can only imagine the courage it took to stand before a large live audience and speak as she did. Thank you for being an inspiration.
MadCatAttack123 I agree fully. She did a great job.
You're conflating fear of public speaking with introversion.
Shyness and introversion are not the same thing.
MadCatAttack123 I’m an introvert and find it very easy to talk in front of people and make presentations. I don’t think it’s connected to shyness.
MadCatAttack123 she's now an extrovert, been there, done that, then came back to never go there again
MadCatAttack123 - Not the same things as others have said. But don't take our word for it. Research it. I'm also an introvert. And she should be an inspiration to many people I agree.
The key point for me is "Play to Your Strengths". If you are a better advocate when you're alone or have time to think or when you're just encouraging others - go for it! So long as you're directing your efforts towards effecting positive change in the world then I'm all for it.
Thank you for this lovely, quiet talk. Screaming and acting aggressively won't win anyone over. There is so much more strength in soft power.
I train employees, and I love introverts. They are dedicated, and focused individuals. We need you guys!
glad my recent old manager would have recognised that,but its too late
This fine lady gets it. Sarah, if you ever read this, you're doing wonderful and thoughtful work.
Proud introvert here living in a world built for extroverts.
Love talks like these!
Yusuf Why are you proud of being introvert?
It's like being proud of everything negative in humans.
You are much more likely to be submissive, depressed, suicidal, shorter life span, fewer friends, fewer friends mean shorter life for men, not for women. Avoid conflict and confrontation. you need to be able to handle conflict and confrontation to have a successful marriage.
I can probably write a few pages of negative factors, and a few points on positive factors. But I won't. It's not that important to spread the word of the negative side effects of being introvert.
It's a scale, so some have it more and others less.
Yusuf You might be able to handle solitude, and task that requires solitude, but you will need humans sooner or later, because we are social creatures.
I want to be with humans when I'm alone, but when I'm with them I want to withdraw. It's a paradox I have to deal with all the time.
If I were to get kids, how will I be able to cope 24/7, cant take breaks while raising kids on a daily basis.
+Bill i'm exactly the same
Can't imagine the world built by introverts is all that though
As Susan Cain once wrote in her book about introverts (I believe it was called Quiet), “Introversion is not a choice, not a lifestyle, but an orientation.” Suicide is a choice. Having few friends is a choice and possibly a lifestyle. Which is why these things don’t always apply to introverts, as you’ve implied in your first comment. Sure introverts may be more inclined to be submissive or feel downtrodden or depressed, but this is due in large part- in my opinion, experiences, and from what my fellow introverted friends have told me-to environmental factors that were largely, if not entirely, out of their control. Thus, over time, the natural inclination lead to orientation, which then, in this instance, lead to the introverted side of the spectrum. Now at this point-if you’ve indeed read this far that is, in which case I thank you for bearing with me-your probably thinking to yourself, “Couldn’t the prior two sentences apply almost just as well to extroverts if you were to replace the word “introvert”?”, and you would be right, for that is ultimately my point. Introverts are just as human as extroverts, meaning they are just as likely to do what people tell them to do or feel bad about themselves as the opposite side of the spectrum. That is why this hot-to-cold spectrum exists, to tell people where they stand so they can figure out how to improve from there. If we, as humans capable of sound reasoning, recognize that we are overly sensitive or submissive, we will try to assert ourselves a little more. If we feel genuinely unhappy, we find something or reach out to someone that makes us feel genuinely happy. In conclusion, yes the terms “introvert”,”ambivert”, and “extrovert” do give us a sense of identity, as all “labels” do, but also just like labels, we shouldn’t let them rob us blindly of our individuality. We, as humans, ultimately are what we chose to be. If we think of the spectrum and the terms associated with it as guidelines rather than our destiny, sort of like the Zodiac signs (but not really), we will go much further as individuals. Thank you for reading and have a great life, whichever vert you are!
As an introvert who has a passion for animals but doesn't like being around people, I thank you for not only sharing your stories but telling us how we can help without is freaking out
Great talk. thx for getting out there Ms Corbett
I love this so much. It's actuslly so frustrating to want to contribute but also not being able to without it being a real struggle. And seeing people doing the same things and thriving is really hard. Thank you Sarah!
Thank you for your time and ideas. You are an inspiration. And very brave. Kudos! Cheers! Congrats! Job well done!
I hope many people hear your very wise words and listen.
Amazing! Well done! I'm sure that was really hard to do and I have so much respect for you for doing it! Great talk and a great message!
What a brilliant talk!
Thank you!🌼
Just shows that "People" really are Special and Different. I Believe in Energy and the "Outside World" absorbing. I called myself going out to shoot a rifle for the first time, endeding up getting very sick and having to lay down. Weird things started happening during that... True story
*Spoiler alert*: Everyone is an introvert in the comment section.
FabledDan like people like you in the comment section
"people like you"? Woah there buddy, you are also in the comment section ;)
FabledDan . Well, the title contains "introvert", you can guess the target audience of this video, right?
lol, well said
they actually did a study on that i think and most people who spend a lot of time on the internet are introverts! neat
I am an activist for reform of the adoption industry and social services!
Very compelling and well done = )
This made me so happy
Is that a monocle? That is amazing
Amazing video! Really inspiring for us introverts.
very good talk
Interesting talk. However, I don't like stitching. What else is there?
Holobrine I do puzzles, my mom prefers to color, it's really anything you can enjoy and do with others. I am part of a small group of friends, we do puzzles, macrame, whatever.. it's just time to not stress, not be judged, have conversations about church, kids, etc. Only non stress topics, we want to laugh and relax.
LeiAnne Stevens I talk with my family and friends as well, but that's not activism.
I love her accent
great talk. really good message.
You don’t often see the words Youth and Bath together.
If you're seeking ideas about change, read and study Frantz Fanon's "The Wretched of the Earth." Activism has to involve violence, if needed.
Very large studies show that it’s peaceful movements that work best! Also, violence means harm to sentient beings and the media tries to change that into property damage. In 68, the press showing peaceful protests and being mistreated by police got the public on their side! Support is LOST with violence! Something to think/research about~ which I had the study handy but I’m sure you can find it pretty easy
This is amazing!
I'm curious why anyone is disliking this!
some would be bots,
th-cam.com/video/v0eMKUy_qpA/w-d-xo.html
not all though I'm sure, I guess some people can't relate to introversion?
I suppose some people aren't really on board with the "we'll make our voice heard through gifting handkerchiefs" idea
Because they saw "activism" and hit the dislike button, even though activism is the only reason that society's advanced beyond slavery.
Professional campaigner, the entire google search is just for crosswords. Im inclined to believe its not a real job. But since were at it, Im a professional shitposter.
Argomundo It shows lolol
She gets paid for campaigning. That makes her a professional campaigner.
I'm sure that if she made the extroverts looks better than the introverts in her speech there won't be as many people who claim to be one...
And anyway the principle of being introvert isn't to be really timid? So badically they can't shoot out loud what they are not proud of being...
Incredible video as always!
Introverts are too smart to waste time on petitions no one cares about. Introverts, if they actually want to achieve something, would take action that would actually make a difference
Introverts Unite!
...tomorrow
Yes Petitions can be annoying, But often People are clueless about needed changes. The lovely gal is talking about activism, that is much needed. Again many don't know how or where to start without someone showing Them.
As an introvert myself, any job/task i can achieve that I feel makes a difference is a reward.
Lovely talk. Thank you very much
I'm an introvert and I do online petitions because I can make my voice heard without leaving my house and dealing with people.
Tumblr introverts seem to do a lot more than people like you Stan The man (all of your comments I've seen have to do with Tumblr. You got an axe to grind, clearly). They've been very helpful in moving the conversation forward. The 4chan and Reddit introverts are the ones who detract from the conversation with their post-truthism, bigotry, and trolling. Can't make change with bad-faith conversations.
introverts aren't any more intelligent, there's no correlation.
Activism - the Borg method of showing you care enough to assimilate everyone. After all being right doesn't mean as much as getting everyone to be just like you.
Everyone does not need to be an activist. And introverts are already doing activism. Kek smiles on the introverts of the Meme War.
thx
great talk!
I'm as much of an introvert as an introvert can get, and I appreciate all the PSA and education that authors and speakers have been putting out there about introversion in the past several years. The "introvert revolution" has revealed so much and helped others understand us better. But I feel like it's getting played out--almost like we're acting like we're the special snowflake victims of a cruel extrovert-preferring world. I just hope the movement doesn't turn into the typical SJW victimization movement. Just my 2 cents.
Okay so you're saying you weren't on acid and having a bad trip in the porta potty? LOL
Wonderful video...
INTROVERTS ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN EXTROVERTS.
I'm an introvert as well but this was painful to listen to. Some of us like being told "Get off the ground, and do the hard thing". We thrive on proving to ourselves and others we aren't victims and that we don't need your help. Not every person has maternity instincts and not every person wants to be coddled.

If you guys like this video, you'll probably enjoy the videos I post!!! (Interviews with Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and other famous people!!!)
Not a new idea, Gandhi successfully preached this his entire life.
It's okay to not be an Activist.
Sure, but you shouldn't feel restricted simply because public engagement tires and stresses you.
It's okay not to be an activist. It's also ok not to donate to charity, or volunteer, or vote in elections (in the USA). However, as is the case with the aforementioned actions, 'not being an activist', while not something you should be ashamed of, isn't something you should be proud of, either.
meh
David,
What about the people that can’t? The people that are barely hanging on to life? That don’t have the time? What about children, who don’t have access to it? Or what about the people without homes? Who have their own problems? It’s perfectly fine to not be an activist.
Welsh accent?
I’m an INTROVERT but I’m not smart
Something about peoples activism and complaining makes me want to be against them.
When they're angry about it, I agree. However, I find activism like this kinda cute.
Expected some crazy feminist talk, got an interesting insight in communication! Thank you TED
Max Mustler why? Because some people prefer to think for themselves vs follow orders?
Because TED is an ideologically inclined platform.
Destro7000 more people should strive for what's "ideal" if u ask me
prejudice is a great time saver. you can form opinions without having to get the facts.
cinnamon8884 who is prejudiced here?
Michael Jordan is a introvert
Sorry we all have prior commitments then (always)
Introverts tend to be smart and have money...which is way more effective than activism.
✌️
"no excuse not to get involved" is pretty rude

Back off, person who's headgear probably resembles my bath linens.
The key phrase is believe in climate change. Activism or Evangelism? it all becomes tiring.
activism needs to shed its mob justice mentality.
blind1337nedm well I see the name isn't just there for show. Turns out to be ironic too
Feels kind of binary, introvert-extroverts and there is a wide range and flavours and colours and different kind of people. We are getting binary sadly. Internet is getting us dumber, A vs B, right vs wrong.
Events in public work out better for extroverts than introverts. Most of activism is talking to people. The more people one talks to, the more they get on their side. The front line activism work is pretty much suited for extroverts. This is like complaining that tall people dominate dunk contests.
I need you.
I can't understand a word she's saying oO
if you are too introverted to protest, you need to get over yourself and get out and socialize.
Most of the activism she's describing is completely pointless, and is just for the activist to feel good about themselves. In a democracy, unless it's a large enough number of people that politicians can't ignore, or a group of people essential to a functioning society, it will achieve absolutely nothing.
Can we please BAN CHUGGERS!
fair? craftivism? pointless? CAPITAL LETTERS! as an introvert I find this ridiculous.
Good luck with that
The whole point of activism is to join a tribe to enjoy that social experience. So why would introverts ever become activists?
Introverts don't need activism to find a meaning in life.
thats not the point of activism. If anything is to spread the meaning you found for yourself.
Event Hʘriךּon agreed, I don't think she was talking about finding meaning, I think she was addressing those who are already motivated to encourage positive changes in the world
Na.
No it doesn't
sounds lie you had confidence esteem issues ... not the same as introvert
Nope - not needed at all for the greater good of humanity. For personal feelz of importance - that's another story. TEED - you did it again.
3 things -
1) It's extrAvert
2) Just because you're a little shy does't make you an introvert
3) This is not apolitical... and the sky is blue
Ian O'Riordan
Actually, it's extrovert. English major here.
1992 spelling bee champ here. Now about this aluminIum business.......
You can use it either way.
Nah
I hate chicken nuggets
Capital letters.....
Climate justice and inequality.
I barfed
EmiL3TageWach sounding like the very definition of snowflake
Every extrovert was once an introvert..
climate justice? wtf does that mean?
Yet another TEDx talk being forced into the TED channel.
Jesus Christ 🤦🏻♂️these types are unbelievable
No, you don't.
Your doing all these events? What do you do for work? I smell a basement baby. Also saying that they're is a certain amount of introverts in the world... is a bold faced lie.
Well just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse. Unsubscribed. 👎
Introverts for Trump!
Oh, look, another loner who thinks popping red pills will help him get a girlfriend. Go ahead and keep blaming feminism and other social justice movements for your own problems. Trump will totally fix them, and not just sit in his room watching Fox News and pissing off liberals with directionless pseudo-fascist rhetoric while installing loyalists and signing bills which indiscriminately erode our institutions.
Quite honestly, it doesn't matter at this point what you believe, I'm just surprised you fell for a few unscripted, barely coherent words from the mouth of an incompetent dementia patient. You're screaming into the void, my friend. All you've ended up doing is enrage us lefties and turn moderate conservatives away from the GOP. Your long term political strategy is pathetic, and your grasp of economics and sociology is even more so.
No.
SbotTV
TRIGGERED?!
Level Joe
LOL! Not as triggered as you'll be when senpai lets Comcast charge you an arm and a leg extra for the privilege of visiting 4chan. How's that 'free market' going for ya, sucker?
SbotTV you'll be triggered when your children and grandchildren are Republicans...
There is not such a thing as introverts and extroverts. It are personalities. Putting people in boxes and stamping them with a label is stupid and you should know better if you ever read a bit of history. I should mark this video for generalizing and offensive. People get mad about gender bias, which is mostly biology, this is just pseudo science. In 10 years we hopefully watch this video back and think of ourself how could we be so stupid.
Haas Please learn some basic psychology.
But the thing is that people do fit in boxes perfectly. This is simply how Science works. It uses labels, and variables to try and categorize things.
Haas You are pretensious. Which books on psychology have you read, to get that kind of worldview?
"it are..." and "think of ourself." Keep learning English.
Mark Jones, maybe English isn't his first language. I thought grammar nazis went out of fashion a long ago
