RE: A Proper Network
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
It is very hard for the introverts on the other hand when it comes to something that required networking/building relations.
Not that we are it about us, but we cannot do anything about it either.
Often people thinks we are unsocial, lonely souls.
rather we just do everything in a limited manner.
So here is perhaps our big failure occurs.
My big failure.
Networking seems exhausting, overwhelming, energy draining for me.
Specially dealing with people be it on professional, conventional or personal level.
I know somethings would be much more easier if I had focused on networking.
Nevertheless...

Very normal, I feel the same way sometimes, but it doesn't have be some sort of a consistent task. Take it easy most of the time, let it be natural.
You put your hand forward sometimes, and sometimes someone else will offer their hand first, people will come to you as well and do their part, but when they do come, make sure you don't send them away straight off. Be a little bit more engaging and welcoming, ask a few questions, answer and add in a few "unasked" questions even.
Well yes, there are people like you, but trust veryyyyy few! Some good advice.
Thanks
I try, I try...
You can be an introvert and still be able to pull people towards you. Being an introvert isn't a bad thing.
Just be real and figure out ways to connect to real and true friends. Just believe that everything is figurable. You'll figure out ways to connect. I trust you.
Well said, I'm a bit of both, ambiverts they call it. Yet, I wasn't always like this, one had I just decided to "man up" and be a bit more outgoing and energetic. I do take my time before talking or before opening up, but when I do, I then go all the way, I must.
It also depends on the crowd that I'm surrounded by; if it's my people, the people I love and care for, then at that moment they get access to a 100% of what I am and how I am. Even when it comes making new friends and meeting new people, if I sense a connection, then I never turn back from a good conversation.
