Sunday morning writing. Going over these pages about a character with depression, I’m reminded that overcoming a depressive episode isn’t because of a lack of resilience. It helps you build more. When I pull myself through a depressive episode it reminds me that I am strong and can survive just about anything. When you have a brain that tries to destroy you, few things seem intimidating 💪💙#amwriting #creativity #sundayvibes #resilience #grit #depression #mentalhealthawareness

Jocko, I LOVE 🖤 your Q&A podcasts but your answer to a question on this one was misguided and off the mark. You answer a question from someone about how to be a leader when you have social anxiety and introversion. You answered the social anxiety part of it BEAUTIFULLY 🙏 Exposure therapy that @jordan.b.peterson talks about, small exposure to social situations to gradually become more comfortable and confident, is without a doubt a great solution. Excellent advice 💯 The mistake that you make is when you say “It’s the same thing as being introverted.” This statement is incorrect. ❌ Introversion IS NOT 🚫 the same thing as social anxiety & the idea is how leaders misunderstand the introverts on their team. Extroverts feel recharged when they are around social and stimulating environments 😃 whereas introverts feel drained of their energy. 😣 Being introverted means that after I communicate with people I need time to process what was exchanged between us. It also means that I need some quiet time to recharge my battery, because being around people physically and mentally drains me of energy. It is NOT anxiety. It does NOT mean that I’m “afraid” of people. It is a real physiological response to too much stimulation. The more talking there is, the more processing my brain has to do. 🧠 The more processing my brain has to do, the more energy I use. Make sense? I cannot “practice” my way out of being an introvert. I have to learn to make it work for me. When people truly understand introverts then they will know how to include them as part of a team and how to teach them to lead. You can’t do that by applying extrovert rules to an introverted personality. You do that by seeing and appreciating them for who they are. Thank you for all the work you put into making people’s lives better. I truly believe you help make the world a better place. 🙏 @jockowillink #jockopodcast #getafterit #introverts #introversion #leadership #teamwork #jockowillink #socialanxiety #teams #extremeownership
