Wait a minute, are you saying that you created a formula on how to transform an introvert into an extrovert? I’m no scientist, but I have learned that there is a way to make an introverted person way more outgoing than an extroverted person.
What?!
I found this out pretty much back in High School. I was a geek, nerd, and whatever else you would to label a person who enjoyed computers, games, and heavy metal. I would visit the library at lunch just to get on the computer and browse the internet searching for my next midi file for my website.
Making friends was difficult. The people I wanted to hang out didn’t really understand how much of a nerd I really was. I didn’t look like a nerd. You don’t know the struggle until you try to become friends with the nerdiest people and have to find innovative ways to convince them how truly geeky you are. I remember having to bust out a notepad and make a website just to show a group of people that I’m a geek and I wasn’t there to pick on them.
Anyways, through all of that I learned something valuable that played into my adulthood. Introverted people alone are very quiet people, but as soon as you place many introverted people together in the same room with some common interests…
You get an absolute P-A-R-T-Y.
A serious atomic blast of energy just flows through the room and everyone is all the sudden talking, being silly, and having a great time. It’s almost as if we have been saving all of our social powers just for this moment. It’s a ton of fun being around like-minded individuals sharing ideas, concepts, celebrating, and whatever else.
Sometimes I even see myself as a leader in the group. I’m sure others have felt exactly the same way that I feel – it’s a pretty awesome feeling. You could take this group and place them out into a public area and that energy will still be present.
It’s kind of like when you go to the park and you see a group of kids role playing and although they look super silly, they don’t care and they are having a great time. Something about that energy - It’s almost unstoppable. Pure Synergy.
Unfortunately all the unstoppable energy can come to a complete halt once you add a small simple change in the formula…
