Have you ever dealt with an introvert? Extremely introverted person? If yes then I need you, to teach me on how to deal with them. Well, I am also a very observant person, not so introverted but I do prefer silence over unnecessary conversations. I can read people while engaging with them but with an introverted person that's the problem, I can't engage in that way to explore and find ways to get mixed.
I got someone to spend my time with on a regular basis, like a coworker. We need to talk about many things, a female, my junior. Usually, I am uncomfortable talking unnecessarily, but even when I need to discuss something if the person in front of me isn’t responding properly it becomes frustrating to me. It's not like I do irrelevant conversations, I do stay within the boundary, but still, it’s getting hard.
So yesterday, I did a trick, somehow I managed her to submit a paper on “myself” as much as she can write, not something usual that we get to see around but something meaningful and well-detailed. As expected she did it. She wrote as much as she could, I was delighted after reading the whole thing. Got to learn what I wanted to, and I found her creative, beyond my expectations. Saw her as a bookworm, likes detective genre books, interested in volleyball, tiny friend circle, and stays within her limited daily life routine. Trust me, the way she had written I was impressed, like nobody in her level can think so creatively. As we are mostly engaged in writing, the writing style speaks a lot of things, our word choices, sentence making, expression styles, and many more.
You may feel if I am getting more interested than I should be or not. No man, we are assigned to complete some projects where if we don't get to discuss the things then how are we gonna fulfill that? Imagine you are in a group work but with an introvert, also the group work is not like doing something and submitting. It needs contribution from both ends and needs to be presented for the final assessment, if you are not properly synced with your teammates then you are doomed.
Hahaha, so, what have you understood? Do you feel like someone is unnecessarily panicking to start conversations with an introvert? Lol. I am laughing at myself as well. Actually, it's more than dealing with someone in particular, it's like getting to know how to deal with an introvert in general, many more are yet to come. In the tech sector, we are filled with introverts. I know many but in the virtual world, over Discord and Twitter. In those places, they are most comfortable to have chitchats with the preferred topics on the other side of the monitor. But in real life? Damn man, it's so fu**g complicated.
How do you guys deal with them in real life? Feel free to drop some of your thoughts and opinions. Thank you so much for your attention.
