Hi there, fellow introvert!
offers a quiet smile and a comfy seat
I’m Keith Lacy, the creator of Ordinary Introvert. Growing up, I didn’t know I was an introvert. Maybe I didn’t need the label back then, but I did feel “different.” I saw the world a little more quietly, and while I didn’t have the words for it, I sensed that the way I processed life wasn’t quite the same as those around me.
As I got older, I started to wonder: if I had understood myself sooner, would I have made different life choices? Choices that felt more like me rather than what seemed sensible based on the advice, wisdom, or expectations of others?
Not that anything is beyond an introvert’s capabilities. By my mid-40s, I was Managing Director of a large media agency with around 200 employees, not exactly the role you typically associate with introversion. Was I good at it? Yes. Were there parts I liked? Definitely. And parts I really disliked? Absolutely.
That’s the thing: life is a process of figuring out who you are, what energises you, and what truly makes you happy. Ordinary Introvert exists to help you do that, a little sooner and with a lot more self-awareness than I had when I was figuring it out.
My Mission
To give introverts a thoughtful, encouraging space to explore who they are, embrace their strengths, and build a life that feels true to them, without pretending to be someone they’re not.

Why “Ordinary Introvert”?
Because you don’t have to be extraordinary to be worthy of a full, meaningful life. Being an introvert isn’t about labels or limitations it’s about recognising your nature and living in a way that works for you. Introverts are just ordinary people. Ordinary is more than enough.
