I advise other antisocial people to face their fears and start speaking up and speaking out. Once you allow yourself to step out of your comfort zone new opportunities almost immediately arise. You can either take baby steps or jump into the deep end. One baby step I recommend is to take a communication class (introduction to communication or interpersonal communication). These classes give you an overall view of the networking world and teach you how to talk to and get to know different types of people. Now, I am even interested into going into a communication and business career because meeting new people is a great feeling. Being able to connect with new people will open your eyes and essentially open your mind to new ventures.
Hi Katrina-- I have to admit, I feel like I can connect with you regarding being antisocial. I a very antisocial at school. I do not have one friend on the entire Glendale Community College campus ... I kid you NOT! School is where a lot of my anxiety comes from. As soon as I park my car and pull out my back pack from the front seat, I start to get this feeling all over my body. I used to be successful in school and now I have some what lost my self-esteem within my work.
ReplyDelete**I wouldn't even show up for the first two peer reviews in ENG 102 class because I did not want anyone to judge me on my writing**
But we both have to build the courage to bust out of our shells so we can not only be successful, but ourselves! Self confidence is the first step of moving toward tat direction.
I hope the communication class helps you next semester!
