The Introverted Misfit Podcast: Human Experience Topics with an Awkward, Introverted Twist

This podcast covers a wide realm of topics related to the human experience of connection and communication from an introverted misfit’s perspective. Growing up as a autistic introverted woman with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) - a combination that fueled my severe social anxiety for almost a decade - I used to think the only way to be a part of a community was to exude lively, extroverted sociability. As I grew into myself, however, I realized that each one of us has a valuable place in society, no matter what your personality type is. Through this podcast, you’ll learn to let go of your fears, improve your communication skills, master emotional intelligence, build thriving relationships, be your authentic self, and think about things from a different perspective. We’ll talk about the human experience, introversion, extraversion, social anxiety, self-confidence, communication styles, neurodivergence, relationships of all kinds, building community, and anything under the sun that I think and hope will help you realize the great importance of human connection - with a slightly awkward, introverted twist. Stay tuned for new episodes every Monday!

    How to Be Likeable Without Being Fake (For Autistic/Awkward People)

    The concept of being “likeable” is a sore spot for many misfits who don’t really fit into what’s considered normal social behavior, including myself at one point in my life. It can feel like you are putting on a performance for people just so that they will want to be your friend, which of course is not a great feeling to have about yourself. In fact, some people are so fed up with putting on this performance that they have chosen a life of seclusion and emotional withdrawal because they have been so scarred by social exclusion, rejection, and even outright bullying, for simply behaving in a way that’s natural for them. I even did a poll on Facebook among neurodivergent adults on the autism spectrum asking what their initial reaction was to the phrase, “Be more likeable,” and the general consensus was not great. This episode is dedicated to all of you misfits who want to learn how to be “likable” without feeling like a fraud. You’ll learn my 3 best tips for being someone that people enjoy being around without feeling like you are constantly performing for people’s approval, specifically neurotypical people. ⭐Work With Me⭐ >> Book Your FREE Discovery Call:https://theintrovertedmisfit.com/coaching >> * Learn More About Communicate With Quiet Confidence: https://theintrovertedmisfit.com/coaching ⭐Free Resources for Shy, Awkward Introverts⭐ >> 6-Step Guide to Small Talk: https://theintrovertedmisfit.com/guide-to-small-talk >> Full Library of Resources: https://theintrovertedmisfit.com/resources
