Confession: I was let go from my job because they felt that I wasn’t bubbly enough to care for the agents. It was the first time I cried because while I didn’t like the job, I gave it 100%. It takes me a while to open up to people. So they never gave me the chance- yes I’m quiet but I’m not antisocial, I just don’t have anything to go off of.

Sometimes I resent being an introvert. What good is there for someone like me in this world?

I am so sorry to hear you were let go from a job that you cared so much for. It is definitely not an easy world for us introverts but there is most definitely a place for us all. Do not be discouraged. Introverts are sensitive people with powerful self reflective qualities. Use that to your strength. And know that you will have to increasingly step out of your comfort zone to interact more deeply with the outside world. I encourage you to challenge yourself to make conversations with others to increase your exposure and comfort with social interactions. Know that being introverted shouldn't hold you back from being a well liked person who excels professionally. I'm happy to share my own experience of going from being fearful of public speaking to embracing interactions with just about anyone. Just DM me if I can be of help

Introverts have some amazing qualities that businesses need. Introverts are loyal, they have empathy, they are amazing with people and prefer to care for others than put themselves first. Introverts can be great leaders because they bring their team along with them, not charge ahead from the front, they support. The trick is to step into those areas that you are not so comfortable eg being a little more dominant or outgoing. Step into that space, then step out. This will help with burnout and feeling exhausted. hope this helps.

Find a better employer. Chances are, they've done this to other people. They were never going to give you a chance to begin with. Don't give them a second thought. You deserve better. You'll find a better job that you like doing, so just focus on that. I'm in a rut too but I don't blame it on being introverted. I like being quiet and having quiet time so I can think. People put down introverts because they never spend time being quiet, listening and thinking.

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

My husband does not show affection openly and is quite lazy in bed, and I thought I could deal with it because I love him, but it’s really really beginning to annoy me. For example, he refuses to do any foreplay and basically asks that I get on top of him most of the time when we have have sex- if I push him to do anything else he basically just refuses to have sex at all as some sort of ‘protest’. I am finding myself fantasising about an affair more and more
