I have been thinking about certainty, and the curious pressure we seem to feel to know, or at least pretend to know, when life itself gives us very little guarantee. I explore why we introverts can be particularly susceptible to this, given how much we value getting our facts straight and knowing that our contribution is sound before we speak. Yet the more I think about it, the more I see that bravery is not found in having all the answers. It is found in recognising what we do and do not know, understanding where our influence begins and ends, and having the courage to respond rather than react when uncertainty turns up. There is something rather liberating about being able to say I do not know and still stand firmly in my power.
