Deal With Being an Introvert
- Learn to recharge by yourself. You can be enormously creative and successful once you know how to recharge.
- Create a life where you can have more time by yourself.
- Make small incremental moves towards the life you want to live.
- Ask yourself throughout the day: is this activity giving me energy or draining me?
- Be humble enough to realize what you are not good at.
- Self-esteem is great if you earn it. But if you have no gas in the car, faking your gas gauge won’t make the car run longer.

Introverted vs. shy/insecure people
There’s a big difference between being an introvert and being afraid of public speaking, meeting people and speaking up when necessary. Social anxiety is not introversion, it’s a fear you must face and overcome.
Thinking before speaking and acting
- Make sure that you speak up when you have something important to say.
- Take advantage of your ability to observe other people, the environment you’re in and the energy flow in the room.
- People will pay more attention to what you say when you do speak up.
- You probably have the ability to study things better and faster, so when you do say something make sure that it’s an eye-opener.
- People will trust you more and thus you’ll have access to more privileged information.

How introverts can be more social
- Prepare. Have questions ready to ask new people,such as “How did you get started in your career?" or “What are you passionate about?”
- Find a conference buddy to bring with to your next networking event.

The science behind why some of us are shy
Shyness

About 30% of shyness is because of genetics. The rest comes abo...
Shyness: Genes and environment
The environment has a large effect on personality and mental health. However, genetics may drive us to extract aspects of the environment that match our actual predispositions.
Genes and the environment work together as a dynamic system. Because of that, you can always change it through psychological therapies that can teach you techniques to cope.
Shyness is not bad
Shyness in itself is quite common and normal, but it can become a problem if it develops into social anxiety where you avoid things that need to be done. You might not be able to talk to people at work or have difficulties socializing.
