I Was an Introvert…

Summary

  • I used to see myself as an introvert because I often felt like leaving rooms full of people.
  • I learned that people can be both introverted and extroverted, depending on the situation and the people they're with.
  • Over time, I've let go of labels like "introvert" or "creative" because they don't define us.
  • Even my team calls themselves creatives, but that doesn't mean I'm not creative just because I also make content.
  • Taking on labels can limit us by making us think we can't do things, like sell if we're introverts or be expressive if we're creatives.
  • We shouldn’t equate ourselves to emotions or labels like anxiety or creativity because they don't completely define who we are.
  • I believe you can be an introvert and still be passionate and loud at times. So embrace who you are beyond the labels.

How To Take Action

I'd suggest letting go of any labels you’ve given yourself. Challenge yourself to think beyond the idea of being "just an introvert" or "just a creative." This can free you to try new things like engaging with different people or tackling new projects without preconceived limits.

A good way of doing this is to reflect on past experiences where you’ve defied these labels. For example, recall a time when you felt energized in a social setting despite seeing yourself as an introvert. Write these instances down to remind yourself of your versatility.

Try embracing different aspects of yourself in varied situations. If you’re at a networking event, focus on the conversations and topics that excite you. This can make it easier to engage with others and even enjoy the interaction.

To broaden your skills, don’t let labels like "introvert" or "not creative" stop you. Start small by exploring tasks that seem outside your comfort zone, like giving a presentation or brainstorming with peers. The more you try, the more you’ll see you’re capable in diverse situations.

Lastly, start checking in with yourself emotionally. Recognize if you're feeling anxious or limited by a label and remind yourself that these are temporary states, not defining traits. Practicing this mindset shift can lead to significant personal and professional growth.
