Being introvert in a social extrovert world
This morning I read a post by Sacha Chua where she summarizes a presentation she gave at a webinar for Women in Technology International. Sacha Chua is a great blogger, social networker and, in her own opinion, an introvert. She really made a good start for my day with her seven lessons in being an introvert and how to improve how you connect to others, changing your own perspective to the better and to grow with the challenge. These are good pointers for both self-appointed introverts but also for everyone else that might not fit 100% in the “extrovert” category; meaning you are not comfortable walking up to any stranger to start a conversation.

Oh’ I definately believe you, and I believe you can enjoy being yourself
In fact, I think there are more than myself who enjoy that you are yourself ! It was not a matter of qualifying introversion, but more expressing that ones opinion of oneself doesn’t necessarily match what others might think. In other (introvert) peoples eyes you might be considered “borderline extrovert”..
Keep up the good writing!
I’m glad you like it! =)
I don’t understand why you need to qualify introversion with “in her own opinion”.
I like being an introvert. It’s like people don’t believe you can enjoy being by yourself… <laugh>
