Actually, that's one of my signal questions from women when I know they're interested. If she asks me that, I know what's next :mjlit:

I get the feeling that extroverts feel insecure about introverts because they're assuming that introverts are thinking about them and judging them. I think its just projecting since a lot of extroverts take a lot of interest in other people's business. In reality most introverts are just more comfortable with their inner voice than others are.

We cant paint extroverts in general like that. Some are insecure. Just like some introverts are insecure. The insecurity (and lack of respect and personal boundaries) is the issue not the extraversion. Plenty of extroverts know how to mind their business

As a legit introvert, it is very annoying, especially working with all white people that think you should be jokey/talkative/etc. due to stereotypes. Though I've been working with them long enough now to where there is a happy medium. They "get" my demeanor, and I entertain them with slightly more conversation than I used to, to make things less awkward.

Stop trying to engage in useless chitchat with me all day long. I.dont.care.

Stop being a weirdo and build a rapport with your coworkers
Don't have to be besties but how hard is it to have small talk once or twice a day, it's literally on company time

Once upon a time I got a bad annual review cause I didn't talk to my coworkers enough, next annual review I got in trouble for talking too much at work :dead:
It's a balance but the upside is too high to not do it imo. You might actually make a real friend (doubt it but still)

This is good advice. Just don't share too much personal info with coworkers unless it's normal healthy shyt like about ur kids accomplishments and what u gonna do for holidays

One of my co-workers asked me if I was okay on Wednesday because she hadn't "heard me speak all day" which obviously wasn't true as I was dealing with customers and also spoke to my other colleagues.
This particular colleague came to the office in the morning and said hello to nobody but her crew that she chills with and sits next to so obviously she wouldn't have heard anything from me.

I do agree that socialising at work and playing the game takes you far. Getting ahead isn't about hard work, it's about who you know.

There's a chick on my team who does the least amount of work out of everyone and nearly always has an excuse not to work, but she gets away with it because she's friends with the managers (one of them who I suspect is gay) :yeshrug:.


Just to add that the manager of the team is a cac and the senior is quarter-Black while most of us are either Black or mixed/biracial.
There are four cacs amongst us outside of the manager.
