I’m new to the group. I’m an INFJ - I worked in community mental health and healthcare for 30 years. I was laid off in 2015 and turned my side hustle of music into my only hustle playing piano and teaching piano/ukulele private lessons. Now I’m mostly retired but teach a few students each week and play for ballet classes and a church. I have had to step so far out of my comfort zone at times that it felt like jumping off a cliff. All has worked out though. I’m looking forward to hearing about the successes and challenges that you face in a world that seems geared to extroverts.

Have you ever been approached by an overbearing and nosy extrovert? Asking you all types of personal questions or simply invading your PERSONAL space by insisting on having a conversation?🤬 This Assertive Responses Cheat Sheet not only gives you responses you can cut and paste into your personal and work life NOW, but, it also puts these annoying people in their place FOREVER!🙌 👉How to download this sheet: 1.

Let me know what you think and if you have any questions or suggestions on how to improve it!

Have you checked out our community calendar lately? Something’s different!👀 I would like to introduce “Solitude Sundays”🙌 One of the biggest problems we face as introverts is that we suffer from REALLY low social batteries and feel drained after only a few interactions. What I have learned from staying indoors during weekends and doing something meaningful to me is that doing stuff alone SUPERCHARGES me!🔋⚡ I get this sense of fulfillment, especially when I manage to get shit done. This allows me to walk into the office on Monday morning feeling like a new man. Not only that, but I approach conversations with my colleagues with more confidence, allowing me to be more assertive. I’ve also found that my social battery lasts a bit longer when I’m feeling fulfilled. 🚨WE FEEL DRAINED BECAUSE WE DON’T FEED OUR INNER WORLD!🚨 🚨WE FEEL DRAINED BECAUSE WE DON’T FEED OUR INNER WORLD!🚨 🚨WE FEEL DRAINED BECAUSE WE DON’T FEED OUR INNER WORLD!🚨 So, I would like to share this feeling of fulfillment with you guys through our weekly Solitude Sundays protocol: 1. Every Sunday try to spend most/your whole day alone. 2. Do something fulfilling. (Work, study, meditation, exercise, journal, or any variation/combination of these) 3. At the end of our Sunday, we can all log into our metaverse and talk about our experience. (Yes, you can keep your camera and mic off if you want) This is something I want us to actively participate in every Sunday in our personal lives. If there’s one thing I want you to take away from this post, it’s that. I chose Sundays for this protocol because most of us are away from school/work on that day and have time to ourselves to prepare for the week ahead. Meet me in the Metaverse next Sunday at 6PM CAT! Save it on your calendar and comment "⚡" when you're done!
