HomeProfessional Relationship QuestionsHow do I mingle with employees that have a different personality than mine?
Roy Murray asked 2 months ago

I am an introverted person and I find it hard to mingle with other employees, especially those that are extroverted. They always seem so loud and overwhelming to me. I have tried joining in on their conversations but it feels like they're just not interested in what I have to say. I don't want to be a social outcast at work but I don't know how to change my personality.

It can be tough to mingle with employees that have a different personality than yours, but there are a few things you can try. First, you can try to find common ground with them. What do you have in common? You can also try to be more outgoing and participate in their conversations. I know it's not easy, but try to put yourself out there. Who knows, you might actually enjoy talking to them once you get to know them better. Professionalism is also important, so make sure to be respectful of their personality even if it's different from yours.
