Any advice for quiet introvert people?

Nurses Relations

Published

I need advise on communicating my troubles to my superiors and colleagues. I am not really a verbal person so I could really use some help.

I want to say things like the following.

1. I'm sorry if I don't talk a lot with you people. I am just not good with feigning niceness to people who gossip about me behind my back.

2. I have a huge working gap and your "training" here didn't do anything for my nursing skills. How about you? What's your excuse for being terrible in your job?

3. You don't have any leadership skills so please excuse me for not confiding in you.

4. Go find somebody else to kiss your asses.

I already removed the swear words but I know that isn't enough. How do I say things like the aforementioned in a classy "professional" manner?

Oh, advice doesn't have to be word for word. I have to do this in another language.

How is this post/rant related to being an introvert?

I'm sorry English is not my first language. Anyway forget it. I don't care anymore.

EDIT: Sorry I can't delete it.

Sounds more like advice for angry ranting people.

Just say "I want to sabotage my career and livelihood." Then give them the middle finger and walk out. Basically your statements and what I said above are the same.

On another note, you seriously need to grow up.

I went back a read through your old posts. It is clear that you appear to be suffering from some sort of mental health issue - seek out the help of a good psychiatrist who can guide you towards better mental health. You owe it to yourself to look deeply at your issues and quit blaming outside parties for your issues.

These are all hostile statements and lashing out at others will get you absolutely nowhere. In fact it will make your situation worse. If you have this much anger then you need to not be caring for others until you have something to offer your patients and coworkers.

Isn't that a quote from a famous motivation speaker and author?

The title of your post inspired me to wrote Confessions of an Introvert :)

Oh. I've been through hell lately that I've forgotten this thread. For those who happen to be here, I have a friendly advice. The advice is don't ever work in a biased/racist/discriminating workplace. I'm not talking about bias against introverts by the way. When you finally have the guts to voice out (FYI, I voiced out through a very professional letter. No lashing out like the mental case that you think I am), your manager wouldn't even believe you. They will most likely be siding with their own. (I just using "most likely" to be polite.)

For introverts, when the above situation happens to you, and when you try to give proof to your manager that your direct supervisor is biased against you, they will suddenly focus the topic on your introversion, the one topic that you can't defend yourself against because it is true. And since, introversion is negative, it's your loss. It's your loss no matter how graver your grievances about them is.

(What are my grievances and why should you take this advice of mine? I'm sorry I can't tell here. It's too much information. And if you read my other posts, you know that I'm not ready to be fired yet. Just know that even my "healthy"&"extrovert" friends also don't see themselves staying in this place for long.)

"healthy"&"extrovert"

For the mentally ill (of which I've sought health care, thank you @hppygr8ful), no just don't (work in a place like mine despite the high pay). Just run away at the first signs of bias. All those work to heal yourself will be wasted. You'll end up starting at zero again. I'm in the process of "running away" now. Thank goodness, I've sought mental care. God forbid what could have happened if I didn't. Even the local people here are so suppressed by their system, a lot has preferred to run away from everything permanently.

FUN FACT: I work in a place that has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. (That should have been a red flag.) I've always wondered why those people kill themselves. Now I can see why. To those people who keep thinking/saying that I'm not looking on my flaws and I'm just blaming others. Think again. You're not on my shoes. You don't know my situation. I'll suggest you work in this place to know my situation (but telling you the name of the land would be too much information.)

Oh, just to clarify, this workplace/area is different from the workplace in my earlier posts (Year 2013 something.) That area, despite being the region prejudiced as the land where the worst kinds of people live, has nicer people in my honest opinion. This current location of mine has people so condescending that it wasn't my heart that hurt but my brain. (Like,-WTF,-what's-with-that-logic? kind of condescending) I wish that I could tell you about it but again it's too much information. And, I did say to myself that the next time I'll tell my story it would be in a formal complain to a government body.
