One day I'm introvert, another - extrovert π€

Hey @olenabomko, I have a solution for that - try talking to new people more often. Let's have a chat and fix it. I'll DM you on X π

Introvert β many people think that I am extroverted because I speak to the camera or attend events. But it is a lot of time and energy. π I sometimes wish to be more extroverted to present myself. Many things would be easier for me like addressing people, "sales activities", etc.
On the other hand, being introverted is a good thing cause you are a good listener of other people.
A teacher in high school once told me that I didn't look like someone who would kick down doors and go interview people. Because I told her I wanted to be a journalist. She didn't mean it badly, she was right, but it's a paradox that my first job after graduating from college was in the media as an editor. π Now, I interview people on my own.

@busmark_w_nika Cool! I'm an extrovert with people I know. But I'm afraid to talk to new people :))

@olenabomko Are you an extrovert in general? I have been thinking all the time that I am asocial cause I was not popular either in kindergarten, elementary, or secondary school... the thing was that I started to meet up with other people and that was the thing. When you are in a group of random people (school) you are more likely to not find your "partners in crime". When you pick up your group you realise that you are sociable because you are friends with the right people.

@busmark_w_nika Now I think I'm an omnivert.
Omniverts are people who experience extremes in introversion and extraversion.

I am an introvert but it helps to knowing so. It helps in telling myself to go beyond my walls and break free from limiting believes!

Introvert, which is challenging at times, but I'm ok with it :)

@philkellr For example:
1. Too much energy is spent when you're surrounded by people.
2. Way more difficult to speak publicly (and no, that's not shyness :D).
3. You need much more alone time just to recharge your mental batteries.
4. Not easy to make new acquaintances, and takes more time to adapt in a new team (for example, if you change jobs).

I'm definitely more of an introvert. And it's like having my own little superpower for getting stuff done! Because it gives me time to focus on my work without too much distraction to dive deep into tasks and come up with great solutions.

I tend to lean towards introversion, Olena, which helps me focus deeply on work and think creatively. However, I've learned to embrace extroverted traits when teamwork and collaboration call for it!

It's good to have such a "golden mean". On my own, I try to combine everything to make it comfortable to work.

In my childhood I was always an introvert.
Then I moved into leadership roles and got more extroverted.
Now I think I can switch quite easily - depending on the task.
But beware: when I'm in deep introvert work if you disturb me, then I'll get angry π

an introvert
Not trying to force to be an extrovert. But I believe is required most times in a professional environment, where we all look for ourselves.
Highly depends on my mood. Very often i like to be alone and talk to no-one, but it is not always possible of course. If i had a good rest for example cause service write my essay for me in UK https://oxessays.com/write-my-essay, than i can be really bubbly and friendly to others. Happens often lately.

I am neither extremely extroverted nor particularly introverted. I always seek opportunities to express myself when I feel things are perfect from my perspective and appropriate to the situation

I lean towards introversion, Olena, which helps me focus and delve deep into my projects. However, embracing extroverted traits when needed has been invaluable for networking and collaboration.
im introvert so I chose to work with auto entrepreneur and startup so I don't have to see too many people. as we work in small team I feel like we have better connection which make the work better !
It depends on the context, but probably more introvert than extrovert.
