Re: Developing Self Respect

Fascinating thread, thanks for the book recommendation Ice!


I've taken a couple of these tests online now and I came out as either INTJ or INTP. Think it'll be worth taking a legit one to nail which I actually am but from what I've read of them a lot rings true.


I'm a 72% introvert and that's very accurate in my case. I can be outgoing when I have to be but have always felt more comfortable and happiest alone. I absolutely need my own space to recharge but interestingly my gf is very much the same and we find we can 'recharge' around each other. Last week I officially started my new job and made a big effort to intro myself to everyone and be sociable, but inside I couldn't wait to be alone. Starting a new 4 days on 4 days off shift pattern on Friday so will be interesting to see how that goes. The guy I'm working with seems introverted so hopefully it'll work out!


Stiegl - definitely take the time to do this, it's awesome you're taking the great advice on board and getting coaching calls too. As we're around the same re intro/extra I can say from experience that this doesn't hinder your game. Just means you realise you need to recharge after social situations, and I found I'm much better at social interactions after a period of solitude. Some people drain the life out of me as huge extroverts, personally I don't spend my free time with them. I have a few very good friends that I could talk forever with, and I greatly appreciate spending time with people on the same wavelength having deep, genuine conversations about life over trivial stuff. Maybe you'll find that's the way you prefer to spend yours too, play around and notice what works for you :)


Looking forward to your progress
