Brett, big introvert here! Story of my life. Either people think I’m not a nice person or they get to know me and learn that I am very loyal to those close to me. 😊 I’m not currently working, but the boss I had before I left thought I was anti-social and withdrawn, so I started to get excluded from work stuff. I am who I am, though, like you said. My circle may be smaller, but the people in it are true. Thank you for sharing! I appreciate knowing I’m not alone.
You're right. It is what it is. I finally figured out I'm an introvert and it explains so much, the dislike of small talk, not comfortable in social situations, not really sought out by a lot of people. I totally embrace it now and have no concern of anyone's opinion of me. I love being an introvert.
Brett, heard every word and def understand the struggle. Want you to know, if you didn’t show up here on YT, you would 100% be missed, not invisible here!! Appreciate both of you spreading xmas cheer with just being present each day. Merry Vlogmas day 24!!! We made it and felt the flickers of Christmas spirit in the nick of time. Merry. Christmas to you guys and Mom! ☺️🎄🕊️
Brett it made me tear up when you were talking about being an introvert, and when nobody told you about a dinner at work. You’re right, when you were a kid you would hardly shut up! I too think it began in middle school. When you’re behind a camera it amazes me how you are so relaxed talking. Also when you sang Mr. Cellophane solo, that took courage. I was introverted too, even in high school and I hated it. It was after I married your Dad that I changed. You know how he was, I guess he rubbed off on me. People who know me now would never believe I was, but it’s true and I hated it. So I sympathize with you. I had so much fun Christmas Eve! You and Brad should spend the night more often!
Brett, I’m so sorry that you were left feeling sad and excluded. I have a feeling it was not intentional, but I know it can hurt just as bad. My sister has struggled with social anxiety her whole life and it’s taken me years to understand it. Now I always make a point to try and notice people who might be struggling and be sure to talk to them and make them feel included. I’m so sorry you felt excluded. ❤
Yes I’m sure it wasn’t intentional that I wasn’t told about the dinner. They normally always tell me about it. It was more the fact that nobody noticed I wasn’t told about it.
I understand what you’re saying Brett. My Fianceè is like Brad in this case, and I relate to you. I often feel like I want to be like him in those ways, though I don’t know how or what to say yet he does it time and time again no hesitation. And that work lunch was bound to resurface those feelings for you. Through the years I’ve noticed I picked up a lot of those traits from my mom. Only in her late 50’s early 60’s did she begin to own herself, and take back all those years of missing out on things. I as a 28 year old try to make those changes now so I can enjoy most of my life the way I really want to. My point is, there is always time to start making small moves to put yourself outside the box, and most times you’ll find a positive outcome ❤ hope you guys had a merry Christmas, and happy new year!! 🎉
Oh my Thankyou for voicing this, I find social gatherings sooo hard. I’m a complicated very shy extrovert, I can be really out going if I have a script situation eg being on stage, giving a talk no problem. Same leading a team but in a casual social situation I’m very anxious. At school I was horribly bullied and yet stood out being a 6’ girl so was the butt of jokes and ended up walking with a stoop . In the end I forced myself to look people in the eye to overcome it but it is still in my memory. Being left out of social gatherings is bullying and a reflection on others, happens all the time at my work too, no answer for why people think it’s ok but I would never do this to others.
Thanks for sharing. I should have explained better. I don’t believe it was intentional that I wasn’t told about the dinner. They usually always tell me along with all my coworkers. Like I said it probably because I wasn’t there the three days before the party to be told. It was more the fact that nobody noticed I hadn’t been told.
I am also introverted- hate hate hate small talk! I don’t want to come but appreciate the invite and my people get it 😂 So fun seeing yall enjoy the game and time together! Thinking about your sweet mom this year - I know the holidays are difficult 💚♥️glad yall stayed with her I know she loved it🎄
There’s so much complexity and depth to individual character. You might be shy but you obviously work hard to maintain your TH-cam channel and that to me is really putting yourself out there. Some of us have a pole for fishing and some of us have a net and you might see yourself as having just a line but I see you casting a big net and that’s really cool and something I wish I could do but I am definitely too shy for that!! I’d love to hear Mr. Cellophane I bet that was good from you Brett! That looks like a really nice Christmas Eve!!! I can’t wait to see how Christmas Day was❤️💚❤️
Brett, I am an introvert too! I get so overstimulated in loud environments and just running errands. I quit work back in May for health reasons. I worked retail so everyday was pretty much Hell when I just want to be left alone and do what I had to do in my departments. I have a social life but much prefer to be at home, in my space with my animals & husband. So if anyone ever cancels plans with me odds are I was hoping for it. You are def not alone, it’s a lot to take in each day and nothing is getting slower or less chaotic it seems. Take care you guys and thanks for Vlogmas 2024! ♥️🎄🎅🏼
I can definitely relate to being introverted. Being around big groups of people is so hard. I do not enjoy causal chit chat/small talk I need to have something in common with someone in order to really talk. I would rather be at home having me time 😊
My boyfriend is like Brad he is such a social butterfly and I am an intervert. I have been getting better through the years though. My friends husband was a contractor at our house and he told me that I am really good with small talk and I was so proud of myself
Brett I’m such an introvert. I get so upset at myself but what really upsets me is that the holidays are tougher since losing Andrew then add being an introvert. My extended family and some friends just don’t get it. Thanks for sharing. You’re not alone.
Thank you for talking about being an introvert. That’s me my entire life. Always was told “You’re too quiet” or “Why don’t you talk?” I was excluded in a lot of things at school, like forgotten I was even there.Some people said I was a snob because I didn’t talk. Always the anxiety of thinking what to say. Hate small talk. But I am better now that I’m older, but still shyness remains. Oh well like you say we are who we are. Better than loud obnoxious people. I feel bad for you what happened at work. Don’t think I could do vlogs like you. You have plenty of interesting things to talk about on your channel. Like a lot of your sub comments, it’s nice to know I am not alone
Brett i totally feel you on the introverted thing. I’m 💯 the same way. And would say started around middle school. It makes going out esp when there are big crowds… makes it hard to go out. Then my social anxiety hits and it gets worse. Hope you all had a great Christmas.🎄
Merry Christmas hope you had a great Christmas Eve . Love all blogs and videos. Brett I feel you about not wanting to go out. I am not introverted but I am disabled and I am by myself a lot.Sorry about the work dinner. I work from home so have not done a lot with co workers. Have a great day
Oh man so sorry you had to go thru that at work. I hear you on this issue I am an introvert as well and my husband is a social butterfly. Thank god for my husband, he is the one that makes sure we have a social life.
🇨🇦 Well, you had me in tears! Awww, I'm so sad hearing this story but I'm angered that as a loyal employee, you still should have been told about the party/lunch.......that is so rude of them! I'm not a social person either but mostly because I'm a caregiver of my Son, who's in a wheelchair ♿ (and im a Scentsy Consultant) so that's the reason I'm not invited anywhere, and I wouldn't go anyway because I too, have no interest in socializing. I love you & Brad, your lives, your story ♥ Thanks for sharing and have a Merry Christmas 🙏
Thanks for sharing. I don’t believe that they purposely didn’t tell me about the dinner. I really think it was because I wasn’t there the three days before. It was more the fact that no one noticed I wasn’t told about it because I’m more quiet and keep to myself.
I am such a “friendly introvert”. I always prefer to be at home with my husband and dogs…I love people, but I do not find chit chat conversations enjoyable..and I appreciate honesty in people either not inviting me or saying you’re invited, but I understand it’s not something you enjoy, but they love me anyway. I think we are a larger group than we realize. It’s why I’ve enjoyed the Scentsy community, I’ve made friends on line that I can see or talk to in brief conversations, but there’s no expectation to be at their home or see them outside of this environment
Hey Brett, I would also consider myself to be very introverted. But I had to come to a realization in my 20’s that I wanted to have human connections. A couple years back when I was 38 I became a toddler teacher and that really helped open me up. But deep down I absolutely love to be alone in the quiet. Have you ever heard of highly sensitive people? Your conversation really reminded me of a highly sensitive person. That seems fitting of your personality. Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤❤❤
Yes I would say I’m a sensitive person but as I get older I have learned to not care so much about what others think or how I am but still have tough days here and there.
It’s a persona of the person that comes out when needed to. To cover up how they actually feel. It works for actors that are expected to be portrayed as they are seen when they act but have to be at a party or meet with fans. Or does it come natural for someone like Brad? His job to work on a client at a salon experience makes him more like a therapist. I mean that he is probably talking and getting the client to feel at ease. Just wondering.
Question for you guys, do you have the tabletop fan diffuser, if so how’s the performance with it? Like compared to the Scentsy Air? Due to the price difference I was thinking of trying the tabletop, TIA! 😊
I’m sorry you weren’t invited to work lunch 😢 I’d be upset too. I have to force myself sometimes to talk to people but I’m shy at heart. I get intimidated by some people and a lot of times I don’t feel like I fit in
Hey 👋 Brett - part of doing clients hair I enjoyed the most was the psychology part getting to listen and give advice . I can feel your uptight and others may to Your rite if that’s how your built it’s hard to change- But you Brett are gay and everyone knows it So start letting people a little at a time start letting them know you know they know . I think 🤔 you will start to feel more comfy. Your mom is like my mom was very loving so it makes you feel protected but it can also leave you very sensitive and comments from jerks can really hurt - But make 2025 your new beginning 🫵 have much to offer !
I am also introverted. I can’t go anywhere without my husband. I feel like I’m not welcome or I’m not supposed to be there, you know what I mean? I feel like if we get invited somewhere that they only want my husband and I’m just a tag along. Anyways I really enjoyed vlogmas and I hope you keep it up. I love watching your vlogs. Merry Christmas
I’m sorry you feel that way. I don’t really feel that they only want Brad and not me when we are invited somewhere because they still invite me when Brad can’t come. I just feel more comfortable when Brad is there.
Thank you. I’m almost positive it wasn’t intentional that I wasn’t told. I’m sure it was because I wasn’t there the three days before the party. It was more the fact that because I’m so quiet nobody noticed I wasn’t told which is on me not them.
Brett I bet u doing vlogs and scentsy is good practice cause when ur on camera u really open up keep trying also its ok to be u we love n care for both u n Brad
Its terrible to feel cast aside Brad, especially at work. I am sorry you went through that. It makes you wonder what is wrong with me. Some people are just rude. Your the kind of friend I would love to be around.
Thank you so much. I really should have explained differently. I don’t believe at all that I purposely not told about the dinner. I think it was because I wasn’t there the 3 days prior. They usually always tell everyone including me. It was more the fact that that no one noticed I wasn’t at the dinner and that I hadn’t been told.

@@jessicagowanlock Yeah I’m proud of my myself if I hold a conversation with a stranger/new acquaintance for longer than five minutes.
I don't blame you, I would have felt bad over that dinner too. I'm an introvert also, and the struggle is real.
I’ll miss the vlogs. Thanks for doing them. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing this...I think it's important for ppl to hear this. I'm an introvert but can dig down and be a little extrovert.
Every word you spoke was my life. So difficult. Thank you

introvert's unite! I've had bad social anxiety since I was a little kid. I was told I was born that way as I was quiet baby.
Merry Christmas Brett & Brad!! 🎄🎁❄️🥰

Yes I totally am drained after a social day.
I’m so sorry that happened to you! Not a nice thing to have happen
Thanks. I’m sure it wasn’t intentional at all. I’m usually always told and invited to participate in the dinners.
Question for you guys, do you have the tabletop fan diffuser, if so how’s the performance with it? Like compared to the Scentsy Air?
Due to the price difference I was thinking of trying the tabletop, TIA! 😊
Yes I enjoy the table top fan diffusers in smaller rooms. I have one in my car as well and love it!
