Stress levels for introverts.


You’re gonna have to talk about your work to people that matter at some point in your life.

You can’t keep hiding behind being an introvert your whole life.


1. I'm not introvert :-)

2. Speaking about your work in front of 1-2-5 people is one thing, but being tested in front of an entire class (30 people?) is a totally different thing.


In high school English, someone (rotating order) had to give a 5-10 minute talk about something in front of the class every week/class. Seems like a pretty good idea in general.


It’s not that different from giving a presentation in front of your team to a stakeholder.

It’s not that different from speaking up in your neighborhood group.

Speaking in front of people and advocating for yourself is a core human skill. If you don’t practice it you’re setting yourself up for failure.

I would even say it has nothing to do with introverts and extroverts.
