Book: Sorry I'm Late I Didn't Want To Come
Author: Jessica Pan
Pages: 272
This is my 73rd read for the year
This is the story of the author who - as an extreme introvert - decided to spend on year trying to extrovert. She obtains some guidance and she starts small - talking to strangers. Then moves on to improv, stand up comedy, traveling alone, and finally hosting a dinner party at her house where she knows she will be the center of attention. She is hoping to learn some lessons to improve her quality of life - hoping to not run out of an overly crowded room or restaurant when she felt overwhelmed. She tries to become braver.
This was an okay book. I found some of the choices the author made to extrovert a bit strange. Improv? Stand up comedy? I get what she was trying to overall improve, but aren't there more general approaches to being an extrovert than these? I know a lot of extroverts, and not one of them does either of these activities. I am not sure that Jessica is a TRUE introvert. I mean - there has to be a level up from talking to strangers before you get to improv.
