6 – When Will You Dump Your Significant Jerk?

This fun titled post had the most comments showing me that you don’t always know what will have appeal to readers.

It’s another one of those bizarre holidays to celebrate! DumpYour Significant Jerk is both a day and a week celebration, just incase you need a while to work up the courage.

When will you dump your significant jerk?

This holiday launches the week before Valentine’s Day. Each is atotal opposite of the other and yet, they do go hand in hand.

We might be a jerk to others; I hope I’m not, and I certainly don’thave these people as friends.

Or we might be a jerk to ourselves. In either situation, we need toknow how to identify either the jerk around us or the jerk withinus.

Can’t we all be a jerk at times?

Or we talk to our self like we are one?

Here’s my own introvert perspective on how to say goodbye to either in our life because being a jerk knows no typestyle boundaries.

7 – #Introvert Blog Choices for the Week

Not sure what happened that it got no shares or comments. Thiskind of weekly roundup post is commonplace.

8 – Are you an introvert committing these communication crimes?

This was a fun blog post to write, and I appreciate Alice de Sturler inviting me to fit a post for my audience on heruniquely niched blog:

It’s a crime we somehow feel we cannot be ourselves, and instead wespin our wheels trying to be someone else. The operative word herebeing, trying.

In particular, as introverts, we will try to do as extroverts do. We still don’thave our voice heard, and that can lead to feeling unfulfilled, puzzled andcertainly – exhausted.

What would be more gratifying and have a bigger payoff would be to bethe best us we can be.

Are you an introvert committing these communication crimes?

It wouldn’t be surprising you are feeling like you are spinning yourwheels, just staying stuck. Here are three communication crimes to bustopen sooner not later.
