If you’re anything like me, the thought of being around a lot of people is daunting enough to have you clinging to the doorway as you attempt to leave for work, a gathering, or even to buy groceries. Fret not fellow introverts, this article will show you how to leave your anxieties at the doorway as you cling to crystals instead. We’ve found the top ten best crystals for introverts and will share their various healing and protective properties here for you, making it easy to “human” as an introvert.
First of all let’s establish one thing from the get go, say it with me now: being an introvert is not a bad thing! Unlike extroverts, who tend to find being in the company of others refreshing and energizing, an introvert is someone who recharges in solitude. As such, introverts can find even the seemingly easy or even banal tasks of life extremely draining. But being armed with the right arsenal, in this case, the right crystals, can actually help you with exactly that.
Not all introverts are the same. There are varying degrees and levels and for some it can change throughout their lives, or even throughout their day. Some find themselves introverted extroverts, or extroverted introverts. It can be frustrating for those who are a little of both to make the switch to one or the other when they’re not feeling it. For example, I’m a huge introvert, but I’m also a comedian. I know, make it make sense! I love performing, but everything else around the art makes me cringe. The talking backstage to other comedians, the post-show “thanks for coming, oh great yeah I’m glad you liked that bit,” can feel daunting and exhausting enough to make me not even want to go out and do it. But I have to, because it feeds me. So I have to channel extroverted parts of myself that are dormant, and for this, one helpful tool I’ve found can be crystals.
Many introverts are having an especially difficult time as we reintegrate back into a “normal” way of life after Covid quarantines. As the rest of the world breathes sighs of relief in shedding their masks and leaving their homes, introverts are busy trying to find ways to keep the masks on and cancel plans, yet again, without sacrificing friendships, relationships, or even jobs and schooling. But human interaction is a part of the human experience, and, like it or not, it’s necessary, even for introverts.

How Can Crystals Help Introverts?
The energetic properties of Crystals don’t just help with deep healing, they also aid in day to day life situations. When you allow yourself to tap into their unique qualities and feel their presence, each stone will give you exactly what you need from it in any given situation. Bringing any of these crystals along for the ride when entering a tough situation can help in the aforementioned ways unique to each one, but also in a sense that often people just feel more confident when they know they have a little aid. Bringing Black Tourmaline into a sticky situation can make you feel like you’re wearing a shield and might even make you bold enough to not just join but dare I say, start a conversation? Whatever you feel you’re lacking, bring a crystal with that quality and witness yourself as you become calm, confident, and easily able to navigate social situations.
How to Use These Crystals For Introverts?
For many it can be helpful to have something to fidget with in an awkward or overwhelming situation. Some people rub worry stones, others bite their nails. Rather than destroying a perfectly good manicure, I choose to cling to my crystal necklace, or play with my crystal bracelet. Busying ones hands can be endlessly and surprisingly helpful in difficult situations. Freeing up the age old “what do I do with my hands,” question can open up your mind’s ability to focus on more important things like how great the dip is, or the results of the quarterly reports. You don’t have to be touching them for them to exude their energy. Keeping one in your pocket, bag, car, on your desk, or wearing it as an accessory does the trick just fine. As long as they’re nearby, their energy will support, ground, protect and honor you.
What Aspects to Look For in a Crystal for Introverts?
The best aspects to look for in a crystal if you’re an introvert are the ones that help with boldness, power, grounding, and transmuting negative energy. Anything you may be lacking, there’s at least one, and sometimes multiple crystals to counteract your scarcities and bring balance. Many of us feel drained in or after social situations so crystals that restore energy are also great to have on you, or find after. While the others head to the bar for round two, your after party can be at your altar surrounded by these ten lovely stones, a candle, and maybe some snuggles with your pet if you’re so lucky to have one.
Other useful tips for introverts:
The best advice, from one introvert to another, is don’t be hard on yourself. More and more people are finding themselves to be introverts and once again, it’s not at all a bad thing. It’s like night owls versus morning people. Night owls aren’t lazy, they just function better at later times. Introverts aren’t weird, or mean, or “anti-social,” they just recharge in different ways than their social, extroverted counterparts. Also understand that we’ve all been through a quarantine where us introverts actually felt safer while the rest of the world panicked. We’re being yanked back out of our comfort zones and that can feel jarring and daunting. While the world may not go easy on us, we can go easy on each other and ourselves.
It’s also important to get to know and understand your boundaries, and above all respect them. Never force yourself to go into a situation you know won’t be good for you, whether you’re adorned with crystals or not. Feel free to push yourself, and test your boundaries, but only do so out of a place of respect, love, and in the service of soul growth, not because you feel pressure or don’t want to let someone down and lose friends. If you’re going to lose friends that way, then dare I say, they probably weren’t your friends to begin with.
Conclusion
So now that you have your new ten besties, try them out! Go get some groceries with your Tiger’s Eye and see parking spots open up for you, find out your Kombucha was actually on sale all while you don’t even mind that the self-checkout lane was closed forcing you to go to the regular check out and actually interact! Go to that party with your Black Tourmaline and notice that that one woman who usually talks your ear off about politics is actually making you laugh. Wear your gold chain and walk with confidence into the meeting you were stressing about knowing that you’ll have command over the floor exactly when you need to. And most of all, grab your Clear Quartz and go easy on yourself, it’s what your crystals would want.
