38. Tímidos radicales (Hamja Ahsan). Un high concept interesantísimo que aunque a veces pincha un poco en general es una buena lectura y una fuente de reflexión. Planteado prácticamente como un falso documental narra la lucha de los tímidos radicales contra el orden mundial extrovertido y sus denodados esfuerzos por fundar la tierra prometida de Aspergistán cuyo himno nacional será el sonido de una caracola que cada ciudadano escuchará individualmente en su propio oído. Es también un llamamiento contra el odio al diferente muy necesario ahora que el mundo parece abrazar con entusiasmo las ideas reaccionarias e identitarias.

One of the main reasons I sat down to write a newsletter today was to share the invitation for my upcoming community event in Seattle with my friend LB at SCBiz... and then I hit send without remembering to add the invitation.

Time for more coffee. 🤣

So here's the event info: ↴

... LB just facilitates introvert-friendly (and neurodivergent-friendly) gatherings. And I love them so much.

If you have questions in advance, ping me -- it's been a long time since I've done an event here in Seattle, and we're trying to make it as welcoming and do-able as possible for those of us who rarely leave our homes anymore!

RSVP via my new favorite domain name:

And I'll see you there!

J'ai fait un entretien. J'ai voulu paraitre naturelle alors j'ai laissé une part à l'improvisation. C'était un moment affreux. S'il y a une chose de ma nature qui a bien été exposée, c'est la #Timidité l'#AnxiétéSociale et l'#Introversion 🙈

Elles ont toujours été là. Mais honnêtement je pensais que ça s'estomperait avec le temps, que je finirais par m'"affirmer". En fait, c'est de pire en pire.
Avant, j'avais l'excuse de la relative jeunesse, mais elle disparaît d'année en année. Adulte, je reste une petite chose ballottée par le vent devant le premier jury, qui se noie dans la confusion et le malaise en attendant la fin.

Je ne sais plus quoi faire.

Getting in touch with my inner marketer feels really, really hard given how strong my expert and coach muscles are right now.

I'm laughing out loud typing this, because externalizing it reminds me that in a past life I was a *literal marketing expert* -- with the awards sitting on the shelf behind me to back that up -- and *that* expert inside me knows that the place to start is storytelling.

“It’s important to remember that everyone has their own personality and way of showing up — and there’s nothing wrong with that. There’s no such thing as being *too* quiet. Whether the comment was said in judgment, without thinking, or meant as harmless small talk, it still puts attention on something that doesn’t need fixing.”

New Thinkydoers episode today:
For the quiet ones, the deep thinkers, and the socially anxious — this one’s for you.

This week, I’m joined by community strategist Carrie Melissa Jones for a conversation that flips the script on what it means to "belong."

We talk about creating spaces for connection that don’t require you to perform, show up constantly, or play pretend at extroversion.

إِنْـطِـواءْ (introversion)

Among all the psychological schemes that describe behavior, I'd argue that introversion is the one that is the most misunderstood or misinterpreted; at least by the public domain I'd say.
Commonly, people imagine introvert people as those who just don't like to be around others much, or find their joy when being alone, or even shy. While all of that do have some truth in it, but it's not all the truth there is to be.
Introverts still yearn for that social connection - they can still go out and even party, but their "social battery" is just short-lived. They are picky when it comes to whom they connect with, because the wrong connection can easily cause their battery to be depleted. Now, imagine such individuals being in a social circle which has no connection at all - definitely, there is no way to recharge their batteries; Such batteries which are essential to let them feel good about themselves and that they are not going in this life alone, fighting all the invisible beasts of this life on their own. For this reason, I'd say, most introverts are mistaken to be loners or lonely people. For the majority of cases, they are indeed so, because they can't find the proper connection they are yearning for. The world feels, to them, just a jungle with roaring animals without any meaningful aim or purpose but to show the power and might of each one of them. Thus, the nutshell tightens as the time ticks away off their lives.
The next time you see a loner or seemingly a lonely person, check them out, as they might just be some introverts who lost connections to the outside world, and might need help to find one, before their batteries die out - like me…
