I was inspired by someone else’s post to say I’m an introvert, and it makes work hard. I’m very shy and have a lot of trouble getting out of my comfort zone. Any tips?

I know it's weird, but I do this thing where I "act" like an extroverted, confident, outgoing person. It's a little strange, but I pretend I'm an actress who is playing the role of "super confident saleswoman" and it weirdly helps me get into that headspace. Even when I'm naturally a very shy, introverted person. I can pretend to be more outgoing than I really am.

Thanks! I will try this!

It's really a tricky place to be in, and I wish we could be more in charge of our own schedules because I'm WAY more productive working remotely. My approach is to not overthink what others are thinking about me and my sociability. I find that most of my fears or insecurities are just assumptions I'm making about what OTHERS are thinking. Totally unnecessary to put that added pressure on yourself.
