For example, don't co-sign a loan or a mortgage with one of your colleagues. Also, don't give advice on their marriage, or how to raise their kids. Keep your business relationships strictly related to business.NIKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11554752731027761199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-58534995740401764182013-06-21T22:29:29.880-07:002013-06-21T22:29:29.880-07:00Perhaps Introverts require a bit more insight into...Perhaps Introverts require a bit more insight into something they ignored: http://nrecursions.blogspot.in/2013/06/introvert-to-extrovert.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-52039999388534988042011-07-31T04:57:22.950-07:002011-07-31T04:57:22.950-07:00Thanks on behalf of introverts.

At times I'm incredibly shy and it has been quite painful. This article has given me a lot to think about in terms of my writing career.

So refreshing to know that those who are so successful still struggle with the same things I feel. If it wasn't the Dummies book for introverts maybe the next one would be Dummies for those who need to speak in public. Public speaking makes me sweat just thinking about it. I am just not articulate and I get too nervous. Need to get over this if and when school visits are my reality.T.

I once horrified my mother when told her my goal as to fill a house in the mountains full of books and have everything delivered so I didn't have to deal with people. I force myself out of my comfort zone when necessary. I agree that on those occasions when I worked in theater it was because I was someone else who was stronger in character. The book I would like to see would be How to stop working and learn to relax for Dummies.

I wonder if one reason that’s so comfortable to you is because you’re acting like someone else? Hmm. Becky, good luck at your book festival. I hope you draw people like flies to [insert your favorite sweet treat]. Caroline, your story about the benefits of time abroad is right on. My husband and I moved with our three 3.5 yrs olds to England for a year, and being both American and triplets really made them stand out---and learn to be comfortable with social interactions; it was a wonderfully formative experience for them (and me!). Kathryn, one of my favorite things to do is sit in the coffee shop with earphones on and people watch. I don’t hear a word they say, just read their body language as they talk with others (or keep to themselves). Major characterization material there! Thanks all, for your kind words about my words. The Violets have been wonderful to work with.Deborah Halversonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01813383597378919945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-47691697540903151792011-07-18T14:39:06.237-07:002011-07-18T14:39:06.237-07:00B.

Approachable<br /><br />I know this is a ridiculously introvert thing to write, but I wish I wasn't so approachable so I wouldn't have to talk to as many people in public. I feel like random people are all always telling me their life stories. Example: I'm sitting in Starbucks right now, and a guy named Gary who is at least twice my age just told me all about his PTSD, past modelling career, failed marriage, dental adjustments, and nose surgery.<br /><br />I have headphones in because I don't want to be approached.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-20949581878802616202011-07-18T13:10:29.589-07:002011-07-18T13:10:29.589-07:00A)Self-confidence for Dummies.

I'd take a zero on a report rather than stand up and present it in front of the class. Then I got to college and I took a speech class (it was required). I got up there for my first "speech"; we had to read a passage from a book, and I chose The Hobbit. I've read the passage so many times, and I'm such a fast reader, that I didn't really have to read it that much. I glanced at the page, then looked up and said the line, looking at a point on the wall at the back of the room.<br /><br />When it was over, my teacher gave me an A+, saying "You must have practiced." (I hadn't.) That's when I realized that, you know, most people don't notice that you're nervous. They want to see you do a good job, they want to learn from you, they want a not-crappy performance, and so they project those desires onto your performance. If you screw up, they forget about it.<br /><br />And so I, too, developed a switch. I changed my major from computer science (definitely an introvert major) to theatre (just about the polar opposite). I haven't regretted it since.<br /><br />As for the next switch I'd like to develop, I would love a Casanova switch, which would allow me to talk to women without coming across as too big of a dufus ;)<br /><br />Good article. :)brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14738775841380343323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-82678084470176102622011-07-18T10:35:13.097-07:002011-07-18T10:35:13.097-07:00I think I'd check out Self-Organization for Du...I think I'd check out Self-Organization for Dummies, 'cause I need that.
