Are You An Introvert Or An Extrovert?
Networking basically requires people to be meeting many number of times and if needed traveling together and marketing their products, isn’t it? While some might be big businessmen who have people doing everything for them and yet there are some starters who do everything on their own, so shall we say the later bundle of people are more of an extrovert nature than the big businessmen? Now it all depends on the way they deal with people, perhaps it might be that their position doesn’t allow them to directly deal with people; they might have had loads of hardships in their growing years. A person doesn’t really become an extrovert, if he is a public speaker or running a huge global social networking, you understand what I am trying to say here? There are people, who are comfortable in a fixed environment, so that they are comfortable in their speech or meeting even new people only when they have support of older people around you.
I wonder sometimes in disguise, whether what category I actually belong to? And whether I am really comfortable meeting up new clients on my own or do I need someone to introduce to, to get comfortable in speaking with them. That was one incident in my life, when I nearly had a big question mark on my face when my best friend walked in to my cabin and told me that I am an introvert, I was seriously baffled when he said that but later when I argued to tell me the incidences and situations, he had some serious points and incidences which really reciprocated that.
I was an introvert. But I argued with him, that being a pubic speaker, meeting so many new people, giving your speech on some argumentative matter is not a joke but marking all the things which I said a little in detail I noticed that actually I was never in picture while dealing with all the people. Everything was given ready-made, I had to just give my points and speak in front of the audience (who nearly didn’t had any options but to listen though) it took nearly a brave hearted fellowmen and extroverted natured people to talk big talks in open and actually meeting the protesting gang of people. So it’s still a big question mark on my face? Unless, I went through some questionnaire, which gave me a little idea that I was of course not an extrovert.
I was a little saddened knowing all this, as I always treated myself as being an extrovert and took proud in being one. There are some things in life which they just happen even without us knowing it when it approached, created some results and went flying on in the air but it has deeper impact on our hearts, mind and the working approach. This particularly had a deep impact on me, though I have agreed to accept it without any arguments, I live as I was living earlier, it didn’t really made me weak except that I feel a little down but I am really raring to go and learn lessons so that I be an extrovert. Although being an extrovert doesn’t mean you have a big business or a big organization with you, there are people who are the simplest, speak very less, meet very few people who have built empires. Being an extrovert or an introvert is your own decisions and it seriously cannot affect your business, if you are passionate about your work and have your work process in place.
