I’m 28, been into corporate since 4.5 years. I haven’t ever watched always been a shy and introvert person – mostly because of family issues and being bullied in school.
Fast forward to corporate and even social places, I always keep to myself. It’s hard for me to open up with people and even talk about anything. It’s literally a nightmare when there’s a single person with me – because I know the person would be bored to death with me, even though I am completely comfortable being all quiet.
But lately I find the younger generation and my seniors take advantage of this – leg pulling, evil tactics etc, to which I don’t have responses. Last night I saw the series “Sapne vs everyone”, and I literally resonated with Prashant (the timid, naive guy).
On top of this, my 9.5 year relationship broke, and I literally have 0 people to talk to apart from my family, so being alone at home brings memories like anything (I workout regularly to divert my mind).
How can I work on this? I am fed up of being the introvert, naive guy – I want to change my personality completely – even though it means being bit of the a-h guy.
Practical actionable suggestions are most welcome. Thank you.
