That’s a cliché. Introverts do have a small social circle that they actually trust.
And if its something that the internet can help with, then we use it without hesitation.
The internet only helps in limited ways. my career in IT is largely down to the fact I can do it all myself without much need for others.
I’m coming to terms that I’ve basically lived a false life because of this. If I had had more friends and resources to lean on growing up I would have gone into construction, heavy equipment, or farming.
I’m trying to change that now. But, I look around and see more clearly that the ones who have success in these trades have a good social bond with those around them. I’ve never known how to do that. Really lacked the confidence when I was younger. Might be time to throw myself in the deep end and try anew.
Yeah, I’ve also been looking into changing trades (work in IT as well). I’m not an introvert by any means, but I think I made some “lonely” career choices… like, it’s you and the rigs and that’s it. Sure, might’ve been fun when I was younger, but now, I just miss humans, just talking or having a cup of coffee. I have a family and all that, but that’s just home talk most of the time, obligations, chores, etc. I just miss talking like a night out… maybe I just miss going out, but I don’t think it’s just that… like joking at the workplace with colleagues, something like that I guess.
Yeah, but no one’s there to help you if you actually do need help.
