You might like the book Social Chemistry by Marissa King. It thought me so much about networking. As an introvert I was always scared of the word and thought it meant I had to go to business like events where everyone "works the room". The book showed me there's different ways of networking and that I actually do build a network, just in a different way.
I really resonated with this post a lot! I can relate to what you said about trying to network. It can be intimidating to talk to new people and grow a community of sorts. I am learning that it is a lot like fishing. You keep trying until you get the right bite; if the connection is not right for you, throw it back into the water. Quality is definitely better than quantity. It is time consuming trying to connect on multiple networks. I am noticing that people respond more quickly on some than others. So, it is okay to take your time too. #fellowintrovert
I'm so happy that it connected with you. Yeah,, it is intimidating, but with some perspective shifts, it is a bit okay. If it felt too much sometimes, I like to take a break and refresh myself. Yeah, as you said, it is okay to take our time. And I love the fishing analogy. I will remember to use it when needed.
Yes! Relationships really are the currency of life. Everything we do pretty much involves somebody. It is up to us to discern whether they are seasonal or lifetime assignments for us.
Hi Shanjitha 🤗 I really enjoyed this post, thank you. It’s inspiring me too, and I’m wondering in what way exactly you connect by writing and subsequently how you follow up by talking. Just like you I’m hoping to find people who read, engage with and care about what I write — and indeed ultimately a community 🧡
Hey Philippine. I’m glad that you enjoyed. Writing warms me up a little before talking to that person. I will be a little nervous but better than talking directly to someone totally new.
I really resonate with this - thank you. I’m a deep introvert who’s building up the courage to share my art and writing and I long to feel connected and be in community. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one.🌺🌿
