Well me am not an introvert but I do stutter when I talk especially when neverous. This has forced me to be introverted, Omo I don't just go for interviews and I have settled for a very low paying job. Most ppl see me as forming but am not. Coupled with the fact my aspirations are far higher than my colleagues. I always have nothing meaningful to contribute to their discussion. 1 Like |

was running a partnership business with a colleague and friend until recently when we decided to dissolve the deal.. He is always complaining i don't communicate. He challenged me that i don't share my family, relationship matters with him whereas he's always telling everyone about his and that has been given him an impression that am an enemy in disguise. I just told him that it's my nature not be be talking always.. God knows best 4 Likes |

It's not as if they don't interact at all, dey do it only wen dey NEED (not want) 2. Eg. While searching 4 a place new 2 dem dey'll NEED 2 ask or in school wen dey nid to understand somtin clearly nd nid 2 ask a teacher. A job is somtin very important so I don't tink it would b dat dificult. D fact dat dey nid it helps 2 dilute dat anti-social spirit in dem |

Tips for all introverts: Go to gatherings: bar, restaurant, cinema...etc alone and fit into discussions. Do less of internet chatting. Insist on meeting after a couple of chats...Be real, nice and don't always say yes just because every other person says so! Feel free to shout....you follow get this world! If u r married, do more of outdoors with spouse than indoors. Remember, being an introvert is not a crime or disease. They can be fun to be with..... If you are an introvert.....hit me up, I like to roll with all sorts! 6 Likes |

Being an introvert doesn't mean you can't have strong social skills, the only difference is you choose when and when not to use those skills. You would naturally prefer not being in large gatherings but if you have to be there, you can carry on a conversation and hold your own. The same applies to interviews. You can be introverted and confident, let's not start using being introverted as an excuse for shyness or a lack of confidence. Introvert-ism is not the same as shyness, I think people tend to mix the two up. 8 Likes 1 Share |

dupsyluzy: Its really tough trying to lick asses/famz someone especially when its not part of you. I find it sick and sometimes ask myself why can't I do it to atleast to save me or keep me in good terms with the 'superiors'/ 'privileged'? But unfortunately i flop big time at it and always turn out to be the evil/bad person. Being straightforward sometimes is a disadvantage.... always at your own peril. ![]() 1 Like |

ephi123: The test is accurate for me too, and I'm a proponent. It makes a lot more sense than astrology/zodiac (which I consider very silly). Some criticisms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers%E2%80%93Briggs_Type_Indicator#Criticism |

Favourite01:It's all about finding your comfort zone What gets you relaxed before an interview? What gets you excited and passionate about a job? Sometimes, one might make mistakes or get nervous...but if you can respond in ways they see your zeal for the job, your background knowledge, or attitude to learn Those are things that might get them a bit easy But, what I do appreciate is when those interviewing on a panel understand the situation and try to make you calm and relaxed...cz they want to get the best out of you |

Being an introvert should not completely affect your social life or your hustle. you may not do it like the extroverts but it shouldn't stop you from doing it. for me, the only challenge I have is the wrong impression some colleagues have about me probably because they have not come close enough to know me. I like my space, i'm not the type that greets people 20 times a day and if we don't have eye contact, I won't bother greeting you. a lot of people misunderstand that. it has affected my relationship some how with some colleagues but hey, this is who I am. it has got nothing to do with pride. I was made like this. 1 Like |
