"I think that a lot of times I feel like I enjoy the exact opposite of everybody else, and I think we joke a lot about that us introverts”.  

On today's episode I sit down with Camilla Lærkesen who is a public speaker and the author of the article "I'm sorry I'm an introvert". Camilla wrote this article when she was in university, 7 years ago, and yet the article is still attracting tension and receiving applause. 

On this episode I ask her if she can share some experiences of "feeling wrong and misplaced in society when the narrative around introverts is that they're boring and they need to be out of their comfort zone"?

I also ask her:
- Does being an introvert equal being socially anxious and nervous? 
- Does introverts not like doing public speaking or networking? 
- Does academic institutions favour extroverts? And lastly, why could this potentially be a problem? 

We also talk about whether or not having low self-esteem automatically connects to being an introvert and whether or not she think that you have low self esteem if you don't like public speaking.

I hope you will enjoy the 8th episode of Everyday People!
