Why you may seem unapproachable as INFJ

Are you an INFJ? Do you know how intimidating you can seem to be? Although you may not be aware of it in your day-to-day life, your personality gives you an air of mystery and intrigue. For me it's something I've always heard throughout my life as an INFJ. There are several characteristics that can contribute to this, like the fact that we are more of a listener than a talker, that you remember small details that others overlook or your mysterious look. In today's post we will see some characteristics that…

Open offices: a hell for introverts and HSPs?

It was the third that Tom got up to go to the bathroom, what the hell was this man drinking? In front of me, my other coworker, who seemed to be typing at a thousand miles per hour... or was I typing too slowly? In the background, but still too close, my boss was talking with the community manager about the trip they would take on the next vacation while laughing out loud. And of course, the fitness girl in the office sipping every last drop of her fruit smoothie. I got…

How to find a job with social anxiety

You realize that you have reached adulthood when not having a job is unacceptable. Even if you live with your parents, you're supposed to contribute financially with the bills, and that means finding a job. People with social anxiety are often accused of being lazy, having no specific goals, and constantly changing jobs. This can happen because we are running away from our own nightmare: social anxiety. I got used to having a few drinks before doing an interview, it relaxed me and I was able to turn down the voice in…

How to maintain eye contact while talking for shy people

Do you find it difficult to make eye contact when someone is talking to you? Or perhaps you find it difficult to focus on what you are trying to say and make eye contact at the same time. I can relate with all the former. It is a more common problem than it seems and it does not only affect people with social anxiety and shy. I've never felt comfortable looking someone in the eye, it's very intimidating. When I do, and it's almost by accident, I feel like they can see…

Signs that you are a boring person 🚩

To be in the middle of a story and for someone to start yawning. Looking at the clock. Or perhaps checking their phone to see if they have any new messages. For them not to ask a follow up question… or maybe they don't seem like they want to hang out with you... Are all these signs that you're a boring person? For a long time that was one of my biggest fears and insecurities. As an introvert I have fairly quiet hobbies: reading a book, listening intently to a podcast, staying…

On any given day, you enter the elevator with your head down, headphones on, probably scrolling through your phone and thinking about what song you want to listen to to start the day in a good mood. Just as the doors are closing, you make eye contact with your neighbor who pretends to run before the doors close. In your mind you imagine smiling and flicking back at him as the doors close. But in reality, you stick your hand out to make the doors open so that your dear neighbor can…

How to have a conversation with anyone: listening

Introverts in general have a very special characteristic: we know how to listen. The problem is that some of us do not take advantage of it in out conversations. I would always be afraid of not knowing what to say and having awkward silences, but why did I have fluid conversations with my family without any problem? I knew what to say at all times, there were no awkward silences, and I was comfortable. However, with people outside my family I would get stuck or I could not think of topics of…
