Me, I will be the best at teambuilding. By myself

In reply to ChristyMcD. This seems to me to be just rude. If you have planned a time for just two of you and someone hijacks the plans, that does not really have anything to do with intro or extroversion; it is simply selfish and rude.

This is similar to #6 but not exactly the same: “Oh, by the way, I invited a bunch of other people on what we planned to be a nice outing with just the two of us.”
My mother does this. She once told me she invited someone I had never met to a small birthday picnic for me that I had planned myself and invited a carefully curated number of friends to. (Thankfully, he didn’t come.) Another time she asked me if she could invite another stranger to a goodbye party for me, that I had planned so I could say goodbye to friends and family on *my* terms when I moved out of the country. I said no. But she’s learning! She asked that time! I was proud of her.
I’m glad I’ve learned to say no.

1. Let’s Go Around The Room and Introduce Ourselves. My stomach sunk just reading those words. I HATE hearing them!

I’m with you on all of these except #6. I almost prefer spontaneous plans because plans made in advance make me overthink and think about how I don’t want to go or do something.

In reply to Kitti. I agree. It's especially frustrating when people don't understand what 'group effort' means. Which is why I usually suggest that everyone had their own parts to do within the project.

In reply to Rava.

nah, mbti isn’t as big in psychology circles as you might expect– or hope. i would like to think they’d at least be respectful of introversion though, sheesh.

working with someone is no guarantee you’ll work faster. in my experience it can often take longer, because i’m focused on the work and my partner is focused on their last breakup, this past week’s weather, troubles getting the car started and how much it costs to repair it… *smh*
