Introversion often comes from social super powers. Introverts can be more sensitive and pick up on social cues from others more readily. I consider myself a "social introvert" this way - relationships are important, but I can be easily overwhelmed, and need a break. For many introverts, they are just as social, they just have to pace themselves.
I network by going deep rather than broad in my relationships. I don't worry about the quantity, but the quality. Over time, this snowballs where I develop a rich network gradually over time.
I observe a lot of extroverts can develop many superficial relationships that decay quickly... So I'd actually ask the opposite question, how to extroverts build a robust network? :-p
- antiherovelo 4y ago^^^ this is the way. Spend your time on deep relationships with worthwhile people and remarkable things can happen.
- jameal 4y agoThis is good advice and it reminds me of the highly sensitive personality type. It's distinct from introversion (extroverts can have it too) and there is research that shows that it exists in about 20% (IIRC) of the population and shows up in other species too. Elaine Aron has written about it. I would recommend anyone who considers themselves to be sensitive to empower themselves and learn about it.
