As the holiday season approaches and calendars begin to fill up with a variety of holiday party invitations, both professional and personal, here is something to consider. Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
Many may automatically assume that extroverts love all these opportunities for socializing while introverts don’t as much, but that is not necessarily the truth. In fact, being an introvert doesn’t mean you don’t like people, are socially awkward or inept, or are shy. Far from it.
The difference is that extroverts are outwardly focused while introverts are inwardly so. Extroverts draw energy from interacting with groups of people while introverts are zapped of energy by this same interaction. Parents may worry about the child who likes to play by himself or the adult who would rather tackle a project independently than with a team, but there is absolutely no harm in this. In fact, this behavior is simply one way of handling what life has to offer.
Recent studies have found that 53 percent of Americans are introverts. So, if you would rather sit in a corner and converse with one interesting person at a holiday party than work the room with chit-chat for all, this is perfectly ok and nothing to be embarrassed about. After all, given the stats, the majority in the room would rather be doing the same!
Do you have any tips for enjoying holiday parties?
