I’m an introvert 100%. I resonate with the whole social event thing cause I know my body pretty well and If I’ve been pretty busy that week, I’ll most likely pass on them for the sake of my mental health lol

[@learningattheprimarypond]

Totally!

[@debreale5236]

I’m an introvert and have enjoyed being a teacher, administrator, HR Director, and small group tutor (my current love, as I’m “retired”)!

[@learningattheprimarypond]

Congratulations on your retirement!

[@rozmcguire2326]

Thanks for the tips. I'm an introvert and I need my quiet time and sometimes these first graders drained me I count the time until specials to get that quiet time.

[@learningattheprimarypond]

You're so welcome, glad this was helpful! Being a teacher is the best job ever but sometimes extra challenging if you're an introvert :)

[@janeepowell4217]

I'm an introvert for sure!

[@chathuanushki6331]

Im a lecturer who isshy.I found it difficult to control students

[@KD-up3sz]

I never understood my co-teacher who allowed students back to the classroom to each lunch with her almost every day. I mean, I think she is awesome to do that, but I HAVE to have that break from the first graders to regroup!

[@learningattheprimarypond]

Ha, yes! So good to know that about yourself :)

[@michellerogers5783]

Introvert basically, but really enjoy a few close, true relationships.

[@learningattheprimarypond]

Oh absolutely. Those are the best!!

[@vanessahennessey1875]

Extrovert here😊 However, I don't like huge crowds. I am definitely energized by people though.

FINALLY

For me I'm fine, just sitting down listening to music and doing this Sudoku or some other puzzle

I just started teaching and I am having a hard time.. I am an introvert but I seek companionship. I want to go out but no one really reach out to me. Am I an introvert? I tend to forget some of my lessons in the middle of a class and I feel embarrassed i am teaching college btw. Students are almost the same as my age bracket 21-25.

[@learningattheprimarypond]

I wonder if you could take a free personality test online to learn a bit more about yourself! And sometimes we definitely tend to feel different in many different situations, so that's totally normal!

[@karenburrill6816]

Huge introvert!

[@jasminefidowicz7096]

Introvert I love my me time. I am scared for becoming a teacher because of me being an introvert.

[@learningattheprimarypond]

Oh you can definitely be a wonderful teacher as an introvert!!

[@melaniem828]

I feel this too

[@nicolenuyda3440]

I also feel this😢 Even though I am a good speaker and communicator I am afraid that my students get bored😢

[@leannemarie6567]

Introvert!!!!😊🎉

[@rosamoreno9942]

Does reflecting on your day help you?

[@learningattheprimarypond]

For sure!

[@sweatiepie]

English I'm an introvert but i wanna be teacher assistant so is it worth for me ?? Some time I'm a good speaker😂

[@learningattheprimarypond]

Always worth it, yes!

[@learningattheprimarypond]

Are you an extrovert or an introvert?

[@suzannemaraglio6420]

I'm an introvert with adults (other than friends and family) and am extrovert with the students. I need silence on my ride home to prepare myself for my kids.

[@learningattheprimarypond]

@@suzannemaraglio6420 You know, I actually relate to that a lot! Sometimes I feel like it's easier with the kiddos! :)

[@ginakruaprasert2727]

Introvert!

[@drojwar]

How to control the kids? I think they find me boring so they're doing what they want and sometimes giving me a hard time. How to act especially towards a hyper active kid? I consider to give up this part-time job but I want to improve (fr)..and the money also 😔✌🏼

[@learningattheprimarypond]

Hey! Behavior can be tricky. It's important to really be clear about the procedures and routines for your class so that they can expect consistency. Be warm but firm when it comes to expectations!
