So true–and I’m the most introverted introvert I know. As a consultant, I just ignore it and do what I need to do. Most people assume I’m a bubbly extrovert. But over the years, I’ve heard people use the introversion to excuse their joblessness, inability to network, lack of promotions, etc.. We can all “act as if” with sufficient motivation.

Jake, this is so very true. I am an extrovert according to the way most people view me. But, deep inside, I am still an introvert. I worked very hard to be more of a people person. It has paid dividends and I am glad that I took the time to really reflect on who I wanted to be in this life and it has led me to the person I am today. I am more confident and mingle much more easily with people. I even lead groups and give workshops with ease. While it takes work, it is well worth it!

Thanks for clarifying that, Jake! Certainly, you do have a point that a person doesn't have to “be” a certain way just because they think their personality type dictates it. The same holds true for those of us who are extroverts — I'm sure I am not the only one who has to put forth more of an effort at networking because it doesn't always “come naturally” for me

You help to make the point, we can all open up. It just takes more effort for some of us.
