RB, thank you for your helpful networking pointers. As a very introverted person, I related to the picture you drew and recognized some ways that I can improve my work interactions. I do, as you mentioned, frequently find myself impatient with extraverts' small talk when I am trying to work when I might relate with them better by finding common ground or showing more appreciation for their strengths. This does seem to have created the impression that I don't value them rather than that I am simply busy and enjoy my work. I will try to implement some of your ideas, but sparingly as I really hate appearing fake. Again, thank you for the pointers; your book was easy to read and very eye-opening.
