Hello, Peter!
This may be the confusing part about this whole thing. When pressed for more, my boss offered things like stopping by people’s offices when I’m out doing something and asking if they need anything. Also speaking up more in meetings. The most vague was that when working with customer I just don’t appear engaged. He would generally just repeat that when I asked what he meant.
He also maintains that to him the term engaged has no social and/or personality related connotations. However, his suggestions and honestly just my own common sense suggest otherwise.
Thank you for the introvert support! We often get told simply to fake it I have even had therapists tell me to do this. 🙁
