Does anyone struggle with being shy and quiet in big groups sometimes? I am a very extroverted person, and sometimes I can be confident and chatty. However, I sometimes shutdown and don't speak in groups, depending on what the vibe is.

I’m 💯 the same, especially in work settings where there’s more formality. Sometimes listening and observing is better. You gain a lot of emotional intelligence and information about people, too.

Yes, agreed! I'm more social in my personal life than at work.

I feel you

I am definitely an introvert. I always prefer to sit back and watch and listen. You do learn more about people that way I find.

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
