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.

  • Tips For Being Responsible For Yourself

    Ride on the edge between order and chaos. Make life so engrossing you don’t notice the passage of time. Make competent those under your care rather than protecting them. Do not avoid challenges, else life becomes dull. We are aware of our vulnerabilities and the threats they bring, which means we know how to exploit them on others. Don’t exploit them or victimize yourself to them. To properly care for ourselves we need to self-respect, and we do so by dealing in truth. Not “what we want,” but “what is.” Consider the future you can have if you care for yourself properly. Study and understand the world’s flaws and your own , then direct your life towards minimizing them.

  • If the answer is “no” or “maybe”

    If you get a “maybe,” make sure you’re clear on what next steps are. It’s okay to say something like, “Could I plan to check back with you when we meet on the 20th?”  If the answer is no,  this is a perfect opportunity to ask, “Can you tell me what you think it would take for me to earn a raise in the future? A decent manager should be able to explain to you what you’d need to do to earn more.

  • Accept the Worst Possible Outcome

    Start telling yourself,"If it happens this way, I’ll learn to live with it." Once you have resolved to accept the worst, should it occur, you no longer have anything to worry about. All the stress caused by denial, by refusing to face what the worst could be, suddenly disappears.
