25 articles on networking for shy people

"It's not what you know, it's who you you know." It's a cliche, but it also happens to be true. Just about anything you want to accomplish in your life is going to be made easier by a strong network of relationships.

That's great, but what if you're shy? What if you would rather set your eyebrows on fire than go to a networking event?

Four years ago in The Occupational Adventure, I posted a compilation of links to articles on networking for shy people. It proved to be one of my most popular posts. This morning, I decided it was time to update the list and post it here.

So if you're shy, never fear. There's hope. Spend some time with these articles, pull out a few ideas you can relate to, and start experimenting.

Your eyebrows will thank you.
