My wife and I are headed to Salem, MA, for the weekend. We will also spend an afternoon on the Freedom Trail in Boston. A couple of introverts spending time out in the wild together. Let me know of some places we have to see before leaving.

When I first switched, I had to be intentional about creating structure and finding small ways to stay connected. What’s helped me is separating β€œfocus time” from β€œconnection time,” so both sides of me get what they need.

That's right! Being an introvert is a superpower!

I can understand what you're going through. Focus on ways you can build your confidence so others don't get to you as much. It won't go away completely but it will help. Let me know if you need any help.

Where are you struggling? I've been able to WFH for about 5 years now, and I've had to make some deals with my introverted self.

Well said. I believe our nature allows us to see things others miss, and when we find that one person, we are all in.

How old were you when you realized you are an introvert?

What happened in that moment?

Introverts...you don’t need to chase someone else’s version of success to be fulfilled or impactful. You need to define your own.

Every time you control where your energy goes, you’re building momentum.

And momentum is how introverts become unstoppable.

Happy Monday, Introverts.

What type of role do you have at work: an individual contributor or a manager role? Why?

I agree with you, Keith. The use of the word "understand" in my reply was maybe not the best use of the word. I was thinking about how the other person's stubbornness becomes the issue, not a lack of trying to understand.

I know there will always be ways to better myself. At times, I didn't see that but as I've grown older, it has become clearer.

I've been there. I have watched many people move up the corporate ladder while I was starting my career. A couple of career moves later, and I don't see it as much, but it will always continue. Who you know leads to power, not what you know.

I experienced this firsthand this morning. I don't have to change my answer because you didn't like or understand the first one.

If that's not a sign of maturing, I don't know what is!

Two company moves and almost tripled my salary in 10 years. Plenty of hard lessons learned along the way, but I had to make these choices for myself because I realized no one else would.

Shout out to all the introverts out there.

It's Friday, and that means our recharge time is getting closer!

Remember to take care of yourself this weekend. We need you.

Not all criticism is helpful. If something feels unfair, get a second opinion or ask for clarity. You’re also allowed to request respectful communication. Feedback should help you grow, not tear you down.

Instead of seeing your thoughtful, slower pace as a disadvantage, recognize it for what it is: a scientifically backed strength.

As introverts, our minds are naturally inclined to reflect.

That’s actually an advantage when receiving feedback.

Instead of reacting right away, pause.

Take a breath, and permit yourself not to have an instant response.

Introverts - our natural empathy means we feel things deeply, so criticism can hit harder than it might for others.

THAT DOES NOT MAKE US WEAK.
