I’m proudly introverted but can be an ambivert in certain cases, if I’m in the mood lol. Ultimately I NEED a lot of alone time to refuel because I’m super empathic, but I do recognize that social connection helps my mental health a lot.

Just wanted to say, I started following you in 2019 while at the community College deciding what career to pursue. I just completed my MSW in Dec 2022 and knowing that I wanted to pursue macro, I aligned myself accordingly. During my mast semester of grad school I secured a DEI position with a fortune 500 Corp.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for this video!
I grew up as an introvert & felt more drained after being around others (I could not wait to spend time on my own), but after being quarantined for 2 years, I have become more of an extrovert & crave interactions with my fellow human beings 😊

I think I’m an introvert, but my job (community outreach) and internship (school social work) force me to break out of that at times. Ssw is draining 😅

I’m an introvert working in community outreach right now and just the idea of speaking to a group of people makes me anxious 😥. I speak to people one on one and get flushed if it’s a group. I felt relief imagining myself in the extroverted roles. Thank you for the ideas of what direction to go towards for my next position! Also undecided whether to get an MSW or MPH

Nice. I would say that as a child until my early mid 30s. I’d say that I was 100% introvert, but for some reason when I started working on myself and healing from my childhood trauma and loving myself. I’m more wanting to socialize more and collaborate with people more. Not on the regular basis, because I still do enjoy my alone time, but I do desire to connect a bit more now😅.

I feel like I’m all of them currently. I was an extrovert to force myself to socialize, but if I find someone more extroverted than me, I take a step back into my introverted bubble. I believe the older I become, the more in tune with introversion I am ♥️

I had an interview at school as an Achievement and a Behavioral Support Specialist. And I applied to be a community center director. I am an introvert. But I think I am becoming an extrovert after my mom died. Now that I live alone because of it I don't want to spend time alone all the time .

This is a great topic! I also feel like an ambivert. I worked in a research lab last summer and it was a bit too lonely and isolating for me. Something I was told recently was that if I know I need more interaction in my internship (I am doing a lot of desk/computer work now) to find ways to do that outside of the field (volunteering, activities, etc.)

Just found your Tiktok and now YouTube! Going to binge because I need some motivation and direction

[princessazariah]

Thank you so much for this video!! It gave me insight on different jobs, which I greatly appreciate.

[dinacharlie]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm interested in social work but I was reluctant because being around too many people drains me. I was thinking, maybe i should change myself to be more extrovert but after seeing your video, it gives me a rough idea of which part of social work I want to contribute. Thank you! 🥰

Hello Gabby Taylor, good evening! How are you doing tonight?:This is the first time I post in any video of yours. This I found it two days ago and I liked it much. Great topic and quality in audio. Congratulations for your work made and uploaded on YouTube. Greetings from Sonora, México 🇲🇽..m👍

I was an extrovert in my youth and am now an introvert. I plan on becoming a clinical social worker to help people with drug addiction and past drama. I do not feel as though this will be perfect for me. I like one-on-one, and small groups are superb. Especially if it is a clinical setting. This is different than dealing with many people I do not know.

Hey Gabby. I was an extrovert when I was young and then I am now an introvert as I am getting older. I did a psychology degree and im planning on doing a masters in social work but I am now npt sure whether its right for me because I am very empathetic but I easily get drained by large group of people. I also prefer working with children as compared to adults

[raburipanda]

Thank you. This was very useful information!

[fridahjose]

I am proudly introverted, am so proud I came across your niche.Previosly, have hard experience working as a community based social worker, working with persons with disabilities, I wish to know how i can go to another level perhaps working as a social worker in another country because currently am in Kenya with no social work job.
