Friday introvert quiz

The author Adam Grant posted this on Instagram today and I had to share:

I scored a solid 13 on this list. How about you?

My favorite—maybe you guessed—is, “I’m adorably awkward.” I know for certain about the awkward part and just hope the adorably makes it more bearable for others.

It’s Friday, and we’re coming up on the anniversary of the pandemic lockdown and instead of trying to put into words the PTSD that most of us are grappling with in our own ways, I’m reaching out to say:

  • Just because things are getting better, maybe, hopefully, doesn’t mean the sadness, fear, wondering or waiting is over. We're all feeling a lot at the same time. Grieving where we all were a year ago without having a clear end in sight sucks, and I know you’re doing your best. Hugs coming your way.

  • If you’re gathering up the courage and confidence to really go for it in your career and business, good for you! Opportunities are out there, and you have something that’s uniquely yours to share. If it'll help, I'm here to brainstorm your leap strategy, and keep you brave and accountable.

  • If you’re on the nap-taking or avoiding-people squares this week, you are 100% not alone.

  • I hope Introvert Bingo makes you smile and think of a friend who would smile too, and share it with them in writing so you both feel happily connected while not talking.

Happy weekend, friend. xo

A fun game for a Friday

What were your favorites as a kid?

Movies, books, cartoon characters, games, toys, activities.

That little person is still inside of all of us and still wants to play. Friday seems the perfect time to get back in touch.

My inner little person:

My favorites were Wonder Woman (obv), Sesame Street & Mister Rogers, the book “Frog & Toad are Friends,” being the ‘baby’ in neighborhood games so I’d be carried around by the older kids, and making mud pies in the backyard (probably in this bathing suit). 

Tell me about the younger you!

Share in comments, or get into the chats on Facebook or Instagram.

Bonus points if you take a moment today and do something in honor of your younger self. I went for a bike ride this morning secretly wishing I still had my Huffy with the banana seat.
