"Count Me In" 

Everybody needs a community, and introverted people are no exception. Being an introvert doesn't mean you have to lock yourself up and suffer from social inactivity. Author Emily White recently gave out a series of useful advice in the new book "Count Me In" to guide introverts like herself to a fuller, richer social life. Although introverts tend to shun large social gatherings, they still yearn to belong to a community. The trick, she argues, is to choose the right group to network with, and don't rush it. If you give yourself too much pressure, and set the goal too high, you can be overwhelmed. Just find a group of people you like and enjoy their company, and in time you can also be well connected.

每個人都需要群體，即使生性內向的人也不例外。天性內向不代表你就得封閉生活。作家愛蜜莉懷特最近在她的新書"拒絕缺席"中，提出一系列建議，協助個性內向的人享有更豐富多采的社交生活。就像她自己一樣，內向的人通常不喜歡大型社交聚會，要有團體歸屬感，可以選擇適合的團體，不要操之過急。如果給自己太多壓力，把目標訂的過高，很有可能會無法應付而失敗。因此最好是從自己喜歡的社群開始，進行互動，耐心培養之下你也能夠擁有自己的人脈網路。■
