How to Use Direct Messages to Expand Your Network as an Introvert
Introvert Retreat
by Guest

The myth that introverts can’t be as successful at networking as extroverts can’t be farther from the truth. Introverts tend to be reflective and have close relationships, making them a terrific connection in networking scenarios. That being said, small talk doesn’t always come easy to introverts, and it’s hard work to establish rapport with new people. This can make attending networking events and other parts of job searching very difficult. It’s important to remember that introversion, just as extraversion, is simply a preference and a tool. Introverts who understand this about themselves ..read more

Almost overnight, social distancing has become a household term. If you haven’t heard yet, it’s a bona fide method of slowing down the spread of disease, namely the Coronavirus (COVID-19). And it has an entire Wikipedia page devoted to it! (If you look at nothing else on the page while you’re there, don’t miss the terrific Flatten The Curve GIF.) Social distancing helps flatten the epidemic curve, so that even if many people fall ill they won’t do it all at once, and won’t overwhelm our medical facilities and resources. Team Introvert, we're up! Time to help extraverts adjust to Social Distan ..read more

As a child and young adult, friendships happened naturally, and seemingly every day. From peewee sports teams to high school extracurriculars to college classes, these bonds formed effortlessly—and in some cases, even stood the tests of time.

Whether you moved to a new city to start your career, have focused on growing your family for years, or just lost touch with your hometown besties, it can seem intimidating to start from scratch and make friends as a grownup.

Your Myers-Briggs personality can give you insight into how you perceive the world around you and make decisions around your life, career, and relationships. This includes your relationship with money. While everyone has their own unique view and story around their finance history, personality tests can reveal a lot about your spending, saving, and investing habits. This is called your “money personality” and it can reveal if you are the type of person to set limits on a shopping spree, pick up the bill when dining out with friends, and more. For example, INFP’s are known for being compassiona ..read more

Just because my transition from extrovert to introvert has benefited me, does not mean it is the same for everyone. You might not realize that introverts have personality traits that could lead to addiction (while extroverts have their own specific set of traits that might make them addiction-prone, as well). Because introverts tend to prefer spending time alone, determining if he or she is struggling with an addiction based on isolation could be difficult. If you are determined to always be alone, and are trying to deal with your addiction, it’s important to step outside your comfort zone, h ..read more

As introverts, we have a unique set of needs to thrive in the workplace. Also, just because we are introverts doesn’t mean that we can’t be a part of a dynamic team. We just need some balance, and employers who realize that will have better success at creating a diverse environment of employees that includes plenty of introverts. Unlike extroverts, who thrive in large groups, introverts need a little alone time to recharge and refocus their energy. Socializing and interacting with others can be especially taxing for us. That doesn’t mean that we aren’t interested, or capable. It just means we ..read more
