Holy shit

Random #introvert observation— I’m so glad my spouse likes small talk and is good at it so when we go somewhere he does all the talking and I can just stand there and smile and nod - it’s worked well for us for 25 years

Je déteste parler en public. Je n'aime que l'ombre et l'écrit. De fait, il semble que je sois maudite pour espérer une quelconque employabilité à mon niveau de formation.

Déjà entendu de la bouche d'un maxi-chef : "on n'attend pas de nous qu'on soit intelligents". Oui, j'ai bien remarqué merci.

On attend de nous qu'on pitche bien. Et c'est à peu près tout. Ben désolée, mais moi j'suis pas une brioche de poche.

“Leave me alone I’m introverting.”

As an #introvert with #SocialAnxiety I totally get it.

At a party or similar, meet someone w/ common interest.

Would I talk to them in the circle of 6 ppl? Hell to the no.

But if I bumped into them outside 'cuz we were leaving at the same time, I might chat with them on the way to their car, then stand outside their car chatting for 20min.

Fedi & other SM is similar. More likely to test the waters of common interest in private 1:1 than by grabbing the mic @ the podium.

New episode of Thinkydoers just dropped!

Guest Nailah King joined me for a conversation about creating client stories that actually showcase your impact when you're shy, introverted, or traditional marketing hype doesn't fit you.

If you've ever hesitated to ask clients for testimonials or felt your work doesn't translate to "I 10X-ed my revenue!" stories, this one's for you.

"Don't you ever feel lonely and jealous when your partner's out on a date and you're not?"

Haha, oh, my sweet summer child.

You underestimate what a treat it is to spend a night by myself, eating pizza bagels & watching Studio Ghibli, with absolutely no need to entertain anyone else.

Don't get me wrong -- I love my partners! But I love them a heck of a lot more when I get to be away from them sometimes.

Society expects us to live in each others' pockets, and to spend very little time alone. But for an introvert like me? Time all by myself, unobserved and unaccompanied, is an absolute necessity.

I love knowing that my more-extroverted partner is out getting their social needs met, while I'm having my delightful goblin-time.

Dear #introvert #FOSS #developers,

writing good and useful software is not enough. If no one talks or writes about it, then no one will find and use your project, no matter how awesome it is.

Discoverability and marketing is way more impactful than code quality or features. That's a sad truth. So, be visible! Be proud of your stuff! I know it's hard and exhausting, but do not stop until you reach critical mass and others start talking about it for you. Support those that do. It helps a lot!

Don't judge book by it's cover, I irl look like a man, specifically like a drug dealer in hoodie + jeans and wear hoodie cap on my head, 175cm and 66kg and probably look intimidating in my face. But on the outside I'm just shy, introverted trans girlie who wants to be referred to as one and wants intimate platonic friendships.

Trop de monde
Trop de bruit

Je m'enfuis

‘quiet’ by susan cain is one of those books that is so hyped, one just expects to love it—at least if you are an introverted idealist who loves reading in general and psychology in particular. but i didn't. i was missing the science.

“He’s fine. He just plays dead when he’s had enough socializing.”

Reality TV chess program in the UK. Will it help to popularise the game?

First, I can't stand Reality TV.

Second, I don't play and study chess because I want to be popular. I like disappearing into my own little world.
