How I Broke Out of My Shell and How You Can Too

Nothing captures the essence of my teen years better than this post on my Facebook Wall 8 years ago:

"TBH... u go to my camp and u dont talk at all. but otherwise ur relly nice."

And the ironic part is that now I talk for a living! Thanks to Vanessa Van Edwards for literally teaching me how to talk to people! How I went from wallflower to a social butterfly (when I want to be one lol) and how you can too: Awareness: ID the problem and know you need to change Learn: Seek out resources from people who ought to know Test: Test what you've learned out in the field that is life Lifestyle: Get your lifestyle in check. Perhaps your awkwardness is a symptom of a larger problem (drinking, money, etc.). If your life is a mess, your interactions and relationships will also be a mess. Dress to impress: Look good, feel good Say it: Stop second-guessing yourself and just say it Own it: See the way people treat you as largely flowing through you; you can control it Relax: You don't need to be "on" all the time It's funny that many people assume I am an extrovert nowadays. Not true. I'm still very much an introvert... most of the time. The only difference between Jordan Paris 2012 and Jordan Paris 2020 is that I now have the ability to switch into extroversion on a dime, which makes me an "ambivert." Are you an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert (both)?
