I definitely need to follow up on it. I ignored patterns in my M and that didn't serve me so well, so probably better to not ignore this.
Either way social interaction has always been difficult for me and it takes a while for people to get to know me and not many people make it that far but I'm incredibly loyal to those that do (my friends have been my friends for 20+ years which I think says something).
Its why it came up at work as the suggestion is that I'm going to struggle with the next career step unless I improve my ability to 'work a room' and deal with interpersonal politics.
I find that you have figured this out really inspiring as it gives me hope regardless of why I struggle with this. Thank you
