A question that I was never asked, and now, I don’t know the answer.
Can I introduce myself? That’s a question that I asked myself today. And the answer is- … let’s find it together.
If right now someone comes to me and asks me, “Tell me something about yourself.” Will I be able to answer him? Or, will I go blank? If I’m being honest, I feel that I will go all blank.
Another question that followed this first question is “Why today?” Of all these years on this planet Earth, today I want to know myself. And let me tell you one more thing, this question, “Will I be able to introduce myself?” was not a product of any self-improvement process. I want to know myself because I need to introduce myself.
If you say, “It’s not that big of a deal. Just in crisp mention about your education and work experience so far.” Yes, you are right. It’s not a big deal. I can do that. But I guess it’s not about stating the facts, it’s the resistance that my brain is showing to it.
What my brain is scared of? Is it afraid to be judged? Or is it just resisting the unknown? If you allow me to be kind to my brain then it is at no fault. I just got anxious about being exposed to something new. The question “So tell me something about yourself” is alien to my brain.
My brain has never been put in a spot like this. It is the first time that a situation has arisen where I have to introduce myself. On top of that, I have to introduce myself well. My introduction has to be authentic and catchy so that the other party choose to engage with me in further conversation….
