Introverts make friends.
Extroverts make acquaintances.

I’m with pwc1. We make friends. We’re just more thoughtful and deliberate about it

This is so not true! Am I the only person getting angry reading this post?!
OP, if you’re an introvert and think that way then do know that it’s absolutely incorrect! Introverts, like you and I, are better friends, loyal partners and better human beings.
And if you’re an extrovert who somehow got added to this bowl, and think that way - you’re so oblivious and possibly idiot!
Lolol

Funny quip. But I do think introverts usually keep a few very close friends vs a mass of acquaintances .

P1 - I totally agree! For me, even near the age of 40, the number of “close friends” with whom I share the ups/downs of professional and personal life is 4

Introversion and extroversion are about where you get energy from. Not you’re ability to make friends and socialize. Introverts need to be alone to recharge. Extroverts draw energy from being social. You can be introverted and have no problem speaking up or being social. It just means that you are exhausted when you get home.

No. It’s the opposite :)

Haha. Sounding jerk wasn’t my intention! 😊
I never imagined an introvert posting something like that and thought you must’ve been an extrovert messing with our fellow introverts here. Lol

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan. I was hoping someone can help me with the next task: basically, I need to create inventory recommendation based on past performance. What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!
