You still try for the interview? Who cares what he thinks.

I mean I still talk but I’m not the life of the party type

Does the job require you to be the life of the party?

[Asker]

No just don’t understand why my brother says that

[Opinion Owner]

Because sometimes brothers are assholes, just like any other family member can be. My brother has said some of the meanest and most discouraging things to me then come back the next day saying sorry. There’s no good reason other than being mean, so don’t waste your time listening.

If the job doesn’t require you to be super chatty as in being the life of the party then do even waste time internalizing that. You’ll fail at so many things in life when you let other people tell you why you can’t do it. Start telling yourself fuck them, they are just projecting.

There's billions of people working jobs, about half of them are introverts like you; You'll be fine like the rest of us

I have the same issue, I'm also not very chatty.

It's important to remember that landing an interview often relies more on your skills, experience, and how well you present yourself on paper, rather than being super chatty. Focus on crafting a strong resume and cover letter that highlight your strengths and achievements. Practice common interview questions to build confidence in expressing your thoughts. Consider mock interviews or professional coaching if possible. Your ability to listen and provide thoughtful answers can also be a great asset in interviews. Stay positive and focus on what you can offer.

Ignore your brother. That comment is not helpful.
