You can miss out on all sorts of things by not speaking up or putting yourself forward.
That’s being shy, not being introverted. There’s a big difference. @SW-User

@MorbidCynic I dont think so
Its literally based on the dictionary definitions

@MorbidCynic Well I can just find another definition

Whatever definition you use an introverted person will miss out on opportunites.

Yes there’s a difference.Ive read books and books about it. @SW-User
That’s why you use the psychology definitions. They’re better.

And not really, I’m an introvert. But I am by no means shy. When I want something, I go get it. I always stand up for myself when people annoy me 🤷‍♀️ Why? Because I am not shy, I just live in my own head and do not concern myself with my surroundings or other people.@SW-User

@MorbidCynic That's great for you. I've worked with lots of introverts, and they have definitely missed out on opportunities lots of times.
That’s being *shy* then. Shy people are weak, not introverts. @SW-User

@MorbidCynic No it's not in my experience.

Read the book Quiet. It’s all about this. Hate to say it but you’re not correct on all this. @SW-User
