To my introverted friends, do you think that being shy and being introverted are the same thing? Also any good tips on networking? I dont have much of a problem here, well not now since im making friends. But I am in a situation at work where I am in a ideal environment to align myself with good contacts for future opportunities. But bc of my nature, im just letting the opportunity pass along. Update:maybe this should be its own topic. Mods, move to separate topic if necessary please 2 Likes |

Being an introvert is really tough. From feeling uncomfortable in the midst of strangers and about people's preconceived opinion in a negative form towards you. It also takes time for me to click with people especially strangers. 3 Likes 1 Share |

hiawathia1981:To overcome this introvert of a thing is an herculean task. Here is the thing, for me I see it as human personalities in that all of us have been born with generically inherited behavioural tendencies that are as much a part of our DNA. Is not a weakness for me cause the behavioral dispositions is a two way thing. You either belongs to extrovert group or introverted personalities. People that understands me are okay with my turn out and I know not every body will appreciate me just the way I am. 2 Likes |

@hiawathia1981 On your second question. It's best you come out of your shell. I'm currently on Dr Corvey's 7 Habits book so it's very possible that I might have another perspective or answer to your question when I'm done, but for now, I suggest you come out of your shell and interact with your colleagues. Communication skill is a very crucial tool in the timeline of any career-oriented person accompanied by the Listening skill. Even I cannot rate myself highly in the communication aspect but I'm quite sure that I'm better than I was before when I began forcing myself to interact with people. You'll do well to read Dale Carnegie's"How to win friends and influence people", there's a lot to learn for we intros. 1 Like |

One of the coolest benefits of being an introvert which i myself have always experienced is, being able to tell someone's intention or their possible next moves just by watching their moods, body language, voice tone and some other hidden signs....My observations most times turn out to be correct, does any one here share similar experience ?? 8 Likes |
Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by Nobody: 12:39pm On May 13, 2018 |
Antidotecasmir: I have usually been good at reading people also. A little trickier online but it still works by noticing the smaller details I hadnt made that correlation before until now. It makes sense when you are usually on the sideline taking everything in around you. My problem with being able to do this is that im constantly overanalyzing everthing. Nice post 4 Likes |

Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by Nobody: 12:22pm On May 17, 2018 |
Sunexy: Hmmm..a lot of introverts wish to be extroverts and you want to be introverted. Very interesting... I dont think you can just completely switch bc those traits make up who you are. Although you could probably pick up a habit like learning to be more of a listener vs a talker. Like some else asked, why do u wish to change? 1 Like |

Have always thought am an introvert, but i later discovered am a shy extrovert due to the fact that i like relating with people...i like making friends and staying around people but due to my shy nature it isn't easy.. am a talkative whenever am around people i knw very well..... i jst wish am a full extrovert. |
Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by Nobody: 7:04pm On May 17, 2018 |
Sunexy: Oh Im sorry. Just so you know some introverts have the same problem. You should try to be more of a listener vs a talker. Not everything requires a remark or comment. And secondly, think about what you are saying before u say it. If it seems like it will be offensive, it most likely is, and don't say it. Hope that helps. 3 Likes |
