Small talk tips for introverts

Posted on July 15, 2024May 17, 2024by Karina
small talk tips for introverts

As an introvert, small talk can be a struggle. It can easily feel overwhelming to talk and yet say nothing of importance. Small talk doesn’t always feel like a very authentic way of communication.

Parenting as an introvert: my experience & how to cope

pandemic Christmas introvert new mom

You won’t know this, but I haven’t written anything in a while. Most of my posts were planned and written during my pregnancy (yes, I’m organised like that). I knew that I wouldn’t have much time or energy once the baby was here. What I didn’t know is how little inspiration I would have. I […]

how to become more assertive as a shy introvert

Have you ever wondered how you can become more assertive as a (shy) introvert? I have, too. My whole life, basically. In my natural state, I’m probably the least assertive person in the world.

How to avoid being a socially awkward introvert

How to avoid being a socially awkward introvert

Let’s face it: being an introvert often goes hand in hand with some sort of social awkwardness. Not necessarily because you behave in a weird way (although I do), but because there are situations that you’re simply not comfortable with.

how to overcome shyness as an introvert

Shyness is often considered to be negative. For me, if someone tells me that I’m shy, I get straight up offended. Not because they mean it as an insult, but because I tried so hard to overcome shyness ever since I was a kid. When I was little, I used to get extremely anxious around […]
