Five Thoughts Holding Introverts Back the introverts I work with tend to have similar thought patterns. Do any of these resonate? 1. You have lots of ideas. Some of them get you really excited, but you really struggle to action any of them. 2. After initial generation, all you can think about are the risks. 3. Each time you think of one of your ideas, you can sometimes feel deflated, eventually accepting there's no point in trying. 4. You feel guilty for not actioning or progressing your ideas, which can make you feel less capable as a result. 5. You've been told you are capable and you should go for it, but this makes you feel worse because it focuses your mind on the fact you're still not doing it. This is not exclusive introverts, but there's such a strong correlation I wanted to share. Every person I've seen has been able to change. Just know if you do resonate, this is not the end of the line. In fact, your ideas are some of the best out there.
