Find Your Format

Shocking news, but not everyone loves networking events—milling about by the hors d’oeuvres table to strike up conversations with people you have never met. I admit it, even as an extrovert, sometimes I find those events extremely draining. I have to psych myself up for them and harness my energy to enter that daunting room with the right mindset. You may be relieved to hear my research revealed that Connectors do not have to be social in a traditional or extroverted way. It’s the same concept as “find your tribe,” only in this instance, it is find your format. Even the most extroverted person may feel unsure in some social settings or in the virtual world where there is not always feedback. Being social is more a matter of pinpointing what works for you.

In today’s technology-reliant society, there are now more ways than ever to be social. You can interact with other individuals or groups without leaving the comfort and security of your home. Consider the three main mechanisms for socialization: virtual, group, and one-on-one. Within each of these main approaches, you can further refine your preferred format for interacting. Being social can look different for everyone. If you do not like groups, don’t go to large events all the time. I would, however, encourage you to go sometimes. It is important to find your format and also to stretch yourself. Increase your ability and comfort with other formats to increase your confidence when you do have to navigate those social settings.
