Is it just me or has anyone of you felt more alone when you’re around with people?

[jansuthefox]

It is hard sometimes. When you scroll through social media and see beautiful people, perfect people. Their skin always has tan lines, their hair so beautifully shining and glowing in the sunlight, just like their passionate eyes do. Half naked bodies, so much skin, and it's the perfect kind of skin, there's no scars, no cellulite, the lines of the bodies go perfectly, skinny yet nice muscular build in the right places. And when you look at the lips; oh, they're from heaven.

It's hard. It's hard to feel enough, it's hard to feel you could ever be worth of beauty, yet you know there's worth in being you and being pure inside. But how does one feel proud of being beautiful and pure inside, when we're living in a society which appreciates the outside more?

The American Love

The American Love. What can I say about that? All I know is that I am just not made for casual flings and make out sessions with no strings. My soul craves attention, affection, and constellation of feelings. My soul seeks love... I am here for the all and not just for the easy fall. I am easily stressed and often spirals down. But I want the kind of love that makes me run through rains, thunderstorms and hurricanes... Because the euphoria of finally tasting the rainbow is like feeling cold and found flame. I always feel on edge because I want to. I want the feeling of almost falling and almost hurting, I want the unstableness of real feelings, real emotion... I want love! I don't want it without the pain! I want it whole, with the cracked hearts, bleeding feelings and mixed signals. The American Love. That is just not for me, you see? I just need connection please! I want constant chats, calls... I want someone who will fucking annoy me. I don't care. Just be my friend, my lover... Just be my something! Call me me a romantic, call me an old soul... Call me clingy, but I'm clinging on to you like a shawl.

How to Voice Your Opinion in the Workplace as an Introvert

As an introvert, it can be difficult to voice your opinion in the workplace. You might feel that you're too shy or a little intimidated by some of your colleagues who are more outspoken than you. But speaking up is important!

It's not about being loud and dominating conversations- there are lots of different ways to share your thoughts with others without feeling like you have to shout over them.

These 13 strategies will help you become a more confident speaker who has a positive influence on their work environment.

3. Be assertive when you disagree with someone's idea

4. Voice your opinion on social media channels like Twitter or Facebook

5. Get involved in office-wide initiatives

6. Share your thoughts about company policies and procedures that affect you personally

8. Use humor to make people laugh while still making an important point

9. Stay alert during meetings and conference calls - no one should have to do all the talking

10. Ask for clarification if you don't understand a point being made

11. Wait until the end of a meeting or conversation to voice your opinion

12. Don't interrupt when someone else is speaking

13. Practice saying what you want in your head before you say it out loud

Final thoughts

1. Find a time and place to voice your opinion

Sometimes it's better to share your thoughts with one person at a time or in an environment where you feel safe, like during break times when everyone is chatting together.

If there are group meetings going on, make sure that they're well-structured so that each person has the chance to speak.

A good way to know when it's appropriate for you to speak up is to learn how your colleagues behave in meetings.

As an introvert, you might be able to tell that someone else has something important they want to add but isn't getting a chance.

That would be the right time and place for them! But if everyone speaks up without waiting their turn, you'll need to be patient and wait for the right moment.

You don't want to interrupt someone who is talking or force your opinion on others when they're not ready to take it in!

Make sure that people give each other time to share what's important before jumping in with something of your own.

If you're in a meeting where people are talking over one another, you can wait for them to finish and offer the idea that's been on your mind.

2. Speak up in meetings

Your opinion matters! Make your voice heard by speaking up in meetings.

If you're not sure what to say, don't worry- here are a few phrases that might come in handy:

"I think it's important for us to remember ..." or "What I'm hearing is..." or "My point of view is ..."

If you're worried that what you have to say won't be heard because it's not important or the way is too long, think of a few points and then summarize them.

Keep your voice steady- don't change pitch so much that people can't understand what you're saying.

And stay in one place! If possible, try not to walk around while you're talking.

3. Be assertive when you disagree with someone's idea

It might be hard to speak up when you disagree with someone, but it's better than just staying silent.

If other people talk over you or interrupt what you're saying, don't give up- stay calm, and keep on trying!

Don't let anyone intimidate or ridicule your opinion; if they do so then that shows their immaturity and you should have no problem standing up for yourself.

If someone is too loud or dominating the conversation, just wait until they finish their thought- if it's not about something that needs immediate attention then don't interrupt!

It can be difficult to speak your mind when people are being rude but keep in mind that this person won't change their behavior.

It might be a good idea to find another way of dealing with this person- like talking privately or finding someone more supportive in the workplace.

If you're not sure how assertive you can be, think about what your goal is and whether an introverted approach would work best for that situation!

4. Voice your opinion on social media channels like Twitter or Facebook

People might not listen to you in the workplace, but they could be more receptive on social media.

If your opinion is being ignored or it's too risky for you to speak up at work then share what you want to say online!

It can be easier than speaking up in person because people are less likely to get defensive and there won't be any awkward silences.

Get your voice heard and don't let anyone hold you back from expressing what's on your mind- it could make a difference for other introverts in the workplace too.

5. Get involved in office-wide initiatives

The best way to have your voice heard is by getting involved in office-wide initiatives.

This includes things like focus groups, brainstorming sessions, or any other activities that are sponsored and endorsed by the company.

If you're not sure how these meetings work then try asking a colleague for help!

It's important to show initiative so that your opinion will be taken into consideration.

If you have a great idea or point of view, don't worry about taking charge- as an introvert, it's important to show that you're not afraid and can offer something valuable to the company!

Don't be afraid of speaking up at these meetings because they are specifically designed for everyone to speak their minds.

6. Share your thoughts about company policies and procedures that affect you personally

If you have a problem with company policies or procedures, then speak up!

It can be hard to get your voice heard if the person who's in charge of making decisions is someone that everyone else likes.

Still, it's important for them to know what people are thinking and feeling- even if they don't change anything immediately, they might think about it the next time they revise a policy.

Just make sure that you're respectful- don't accuse them of being ignorant or demand things because it's not their job to make concessions for everyone!

Keep your argument short and sweet and remind yourself why this is important to you; if it's too difficult then try talking to someone who you trust.

If they're too busy to listen or don't want to hear what you have to say then try a few other people in the company, but remember that not everyone is going to agree with your opinion because this isn't always an issue for them personally.

It can take some time and effort- there's no need to give up!

7. Write down your ideas for new projects, processes, or products before the meeting starts so that people know what they're getting into from the start

If you're not sure how to voice your opinion in a meeting then it's best to speak up before the discussion starts.

Find out who will be at this meeting and try sending them an email or message about what they need to know ahead of time so that they don't interrupt with unproductive comments during the meeting.

This is a good way to prepare for a meeting because it means that everything will go smoothly.

If you're not sure what you want to say then write down the points or ideas that are important so that it's easier to share your opinion in those tense moments!

It can be difficult speaking up when everyone else is talking- if they don't listen then try to summarize what you've said and ask them if they have any questions.

It might be easier for introverts because there won't be any long pauses or awkward stares when talking in a meeting- but it's important not to avoid these moments!

If this still feels too difficult, take some time to practice your argument before the meeting starts.

8. Use humor to make people laugh while still making an important point

You can still make your point while using humor- it will help people remember what you said, and they'll probably appreciate that you took the time to think about their feelings.

It's important not to take yourself too seriously sometimes because introversion doesn't mean that we're all serious robots!

Just be sure to use a sense of humor that's appropriate for the situation- don't say something offensive or hurtful just to make people laugh.

It might be best not to use jokes in a meeting because it can be hard for introverts to tell if someone is really laughing with you or at you!

But sometimes humor is important, so try to take a deep breath and laugh with your coworkers to show that you're not afraid of this meeting.

If it still feels like a stressful situation then try talking to someone who's known for being funny before the meeting starts- they might have some good ideas about how introverts can engagingly make their points

It's important not to give up because this is a skill that you can learn, and it will help with the meetings in your future.

9. Stay alert during meetings and conference calls - no one should have to do all the talking

It can be hard to stay alert during meetings because introverts need a lot of time alone, but it's important not to tune out because this might mean that you're inattentive.

Don't just listen passively- it will help if you ask questions or paraphrase what the speaker is saying so they know that you were listening.

You can also take notes during the meeting- this is a good way to follow up on what was said and find out if there's anything that you missed.

It might be hard for introverts to participate in meetings because they like fewer people, but it's important not to give up!

If it feels too difficult then practice your argument before the meeting starts so that you can be confident about what you're saying.

It's also important to have a voice when it's time for your opinion, and introverts need to use this opportunity!

If someone doesn't listen then try summarizing what they said and ask them if they have any questions- or just share your opinion in a different way because it's not that important to argue.

10. Ask for clarification if you don't understand a point being made

It's important to ask for clarification if you don't understand a point being made because it will help with the meeting.

Sometimes people need time to put thoughts together or they might have forgotten what they wanted to say, so try asking them questions about their opinion again and see how that goes!

If this still doesn't make sense then it might be best to ask for an email or phone call after the meeting.

11. Wait until the end of a meeting or conversation to voice your opinion

Another thing you can try to voice your opinion is to wait until the end of a meeting or conversation.

It's important not to interrupt because it can be rude or disrespectful, and this will make people think you didn't care about what they were saying.

This way your opinion won't be forgotten- someone else might have wanted to say something before the meeting is over!

Even if there are a lot of other people at the meeting, it's important not to be afraid of your opinion.

12. Don't interrupt when someone else is speaking

If someone is speaking and you need to interrupt them, then it's important not to be impolite.

It's important not to interrupt when someone else is speaking unless they're not making any sense or you need to correct them on something important- otherwise you'll be rude and this will make people think that introverts are uninterested in what others have to say!

13. Practice saying what you want in your head before you say it out loud

It can be hard to speak up when you're not used to it, but there are some ways that introverts can prepare themselves.

One thing is practicing what you want to say in your head before you actually say it out loud- this way if something comes out wrong then at least it was only inside your head!

Another good thing to do is practicing in front of a mirror- this will help you see what your body language looks like and how others might react to it.

A handy tip for saying something out loud when introverts are feeling nervous or anxious about speaking up is that they can try taking deep breaths before they say anything, even if the person doesn't ask them to.

This will keep introverts calm and they can focus on what they're saying instead of feeling nervous or anxious about speaking up in front of others.

Final thoughts

So, in conclusion, it's important to get your opinion heard in the workplace because you deserve a voice!

Try some of these tips and see how they work for you- different things will work with different people but don't give up until you find what works best for you.

Introverts have valuable opinions that should be voiced, too. You can do this even if it might seem hard at first!

Make sure not to interrupt when someone is speaking unless it needs correcting or clarifying - remember that giving them their chance before yours doesn't mean others are uninterested in what introverts have to say, either; everyone deserves respect no matter who they are.

It might also be helpful to practice saying something out loud- try doing this in a mirror or in front of someone else so you can see how your body language might come across.

When feeling nervous and anxious, it's also good to take deep breaths beforehand. This will keep introverts calm and give them time to think about what they want to say instead of just getting anxious before speaking up.

Finally- it's important for introverts who have valuable opinions on issues that affect them at work! Sometimes the best way is by being assertive with what you need, which means not letting yourself be pushed around when others are making decisions without input from everyone involved.

I hope this article helped you find some ways to voice your opinion at work, and that you feel empowered!

Sometimes I just can’t take it any more. I feel like I’m not gonna care about the next person’s feelings, I’m just gonna blurt it out. If you are not real don’t talk to me! I have a breaking point. Then when I hurt your feelings I’m gonna just end up saying” look what you made me do”
