I'm an Introvert. Some years back, I found myself as a salesman. It was really challenging for me. Imagine someone who doesn't want to be noticed now pushing for himself to be visible. That's when I better understood that going against nature is a daunting task. The job drained me to almost to a point of burning out. However, it helped me learn the art of building relationships, starting conversations and negotiation skills. Today, I seldom fret to start new conversations - albeit I struggle with keeping new contacts as I tend to retract to my shell. I'll advise my fellow introverts to push to get out their shells. It's daunting to work in the modern workplace as an Introvert. You might work your ass off but if don't blow your trumpet, nobody recognised you. If you don't speak in meetings, people take to for granted. If you look too gentle, some colleagues will trample on you. Learn public speaking. Engage in physical exercises.

My colleagues are used to me already, I don't talk to them that much. The only time they hear me talk is when we're working, I get bored easily whenever what we're discussing is not work related...... Whenever they say something funny in the office I laugh but hardly join in the discussion unless someone ask me a question. No regret being an introvert, I love my peace of mind. Noisy people irritate me. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

That's funny. Are you asking for someone or are you one? Once you get used to your working environment, your introverted nature doesn't get in the way. Btw, no coworker will willfully say something to a colleague to cause a pain. So don't be afraid if you are indirectly trying to find out sth. There always going to people who would like personality. ashewoboy: |

Rubyjade:You are good, God bless you for this, one thing that baffle me is that introvert seem to understand everyone but no one seem to understand him. It really difficult for an introvert to scope in this noisy world. Me for one I hate in relevant talks, if I go to anywhere I must study the environment. I don't like people forcing me to do what I don't like. In my office I talk anytime an interesting topics is been discussed even those close to me would wonder, so I can talk like this, but after then when I might have proved my point I will just go back to myself. I hate gossip with passion and the moment I dictect you're gossiper I will just distance myself from you. 4 Likes |

Flamemignon1: True, But introverts DONT go out of their way for validation. Even if it happens then there is something special about this person (to the introvert in question, because most times introverts are mostly attracted to like minded people that may not appear special to others) that will be worth the trouble. 3 Likes |

I let my work do all the talking. When your work speaks for you, everyone will be forced to speak to you because they know that without you, things could crumble. You can be a man/woman of few words yet remain the most influential person because when you speak, insights drop from your jaw. Now if you want to rise to being an introverted don, work on your story telling skills so that when you have to talk, everyone listens and when you drop the mic, it’s like sharing the grace. Then you happily crawl back into your shells. You reserve your glow for another time. 1 Like |

ashewoboy: The first step is to understand that it is your workplace not your introverted state, place or position. A place where interactivity, team work, division of labour and the need to be in contact with a lot of people. When you understand the above that should help you condition your mind from the beginning away from the seclusion mindset or nature that is inherent with you. |

I'm an introvert and do have social anxiety. my neighbors and colleagues feel am kind of weird. Though some do understand my kind of person.. My issue is that I find it difficult finding a serious date and get married.. Hopefully I'll find someone that understands my kind of person.. Also I've been taking drugs for my social anxiety issues which helps but discontinued it to avoid being addicted to it.. 1 Like |

My problem now is that I’m a student, I’ve paid my fees and I’ve done all the necessary registration but I’ve not been going to school. it’s not easy to be with my colleagues in school and the funniest thing is that they don’t know me in my department, I’m always at home doing nothing I do feel bad for myself, i gat no one to talk to about this stuffs. Exams is coming up soon, I just hate being who I’m, I hate this introvert shit. I just want to be alone all the time Omo nawaoo life tire me oo. I was thinking It will be easier to outgrown this shit in my adulthood but no way man I have attended 3 fuckin universities and I will keep on droping out on my own because I don’t go to school and I miss exams as well Omo na so depresion wan take kill me, if not for crypto trading I wonder how I for the see money 💰..
