All In An Introvert Day's Work

A comic about looking for inspiration

Art description: 6-panel comic strip about an introvert looking for hope in dark times. The panels illustrate a cartoon figure with a hard hat and headlamp, rooting through piles of rock in a dark cave, looking for some inspiration to get through the day. An elephant observes and suggests she go outside and look. Stubbornly, she continues to look in the cave. Titled "All In An Introvert Day's Work," 2026, by Connie Sun.

I have the tendency to be conflict-avoidant and easily overwhelmed by people arguing and fighting around me. It stresses me out and I don’t like how being in conflict with others brings out my worst qualities by default, like high emotion and black-and-white thinking.

Avoidance doesn’t solve a lot of problems though and the elephant in today’s comic has a point. I can’t really hole up in a cave and not face the world, no matter how much fighting is going.

Maybe some moderation is in order for introverts though, to preserve sanity. Staying sane is no easy task in the world we live in.

Thanks for reading and being here.
