An important part of the process of leaving my apartment is spending sometimes up to several minutes at my door waiting for the least number of people I have to encounter possible.

Being an #introvert and putting on the #extrovert face is exhausting..

A kid on the train: I bet you are a really nice person.

Me (friendly voice): well not really, so be careful

Kid: pensive look, leaves me alone.

I'm telling you kids are better humans than adults.

I'm only an #introvert until l meet #people worth #extroverting with

In The Way of the #Hermit, Ken Smith offers a profoundly #human portrait of #solitude—not the performative kind, but the hard-earned, bone-deep kind that comes from living off-grid in the #Scottish #Highlands for over 40 years. #BookReview #Books #introvert #introversion #nature #Scotland #Biography #Autobiography #Philosophy

#introvert kid and #extrovert parent is hell (for kid at least), now imagine introvert parent and extrovert kid

Holy shit

Random #introvert observation— I’m so glad my spouse likes small talk and is good at it so when we go somewhere he does all the talking and I can just stand there and smile and nod - it’s worked well for us for 25 years

Je déteste parler en public. Je n'aime que l'ombre et l'écrit. De fait, il semble que je sois maudite pour espérer une quelconque employabilité à mon niveau de formation.

Déjà entendu de la bouche d'un maxi-chef : "on n'attend pas de nous qu'on soit intelligents". Oui, j'ai bien remarqué merci.

On attend de nous qu'on pitche bien. Et c'est à peu près tout. Ben désolée, mais moi j'suis pas une brioche de poche.

“Leave me alone I’m introverting.”

@Pinchy63 @Dianora
As an #introvert with #SocialAnxiety I totally get it.

At a party or similar, meet someone w/ common interest.

Would I talk to them in the circle of 6 ppl? Hell to the no.

But if I bumped into them outside 'cuz we were leaving at the same time, I might chat with them on the way to their car, then stand outside their car chatting for 20min.

Fedi & other SM is similar. More likely to test the waters of common interest in private 1:1 than by grabbing the mic @ the podium.

New episode of Thinkydoers just dropped!

Guest Nailah King joined me for a conversation about creating client stories that actually showcase your impact when you're shy, introverted, or traditional marketing hype doesn't fit you.

If you've ever hesitated to ask clients for testimonials or felt your work doesn't translate to "I 10X-ed my revenue!" stories, this one's for you.

Domingo de desconexión y boceto.
