So I been on the coli since June 2012 and I have 112 posts, so im the definition of a lurker.. on the coli and in real life.
So our department was having a meeting with this guy from another company. He wanted to understand how our supply chain works, so we in a team of about 8, im the only black guy, the meeting lasts about an hour with everyone in our team going back and forth with the guy and im just
sitting there like :shaq2:, I said nothing the hol meeting… When the meeting is about to end the guy says “Double Up, one more word out of you and yourre outta here”. Everyone is like :lolbron:

I just give him the :beli: .
I’m just the type of guy that only talks when I’m adding value or when I have to, I won’t just talk for no reason. Why do outspoken people feel like everyone should be like them?
don't pull a George costanza during the next meeting:lolbron:

Damn, breh. I'm def an introvert so i feel you, but I learned that you don't want to be mute during meetings. You want to show that you can think on your feet and contribute something. I know it can be uncomfortable so what I do is plan something to say before hand :yeshrug:

Actually I'd suggest the OP does pull aGeorge costanza, the move where he said something interesting/funny and then leaves the room/meeting.

Leave on a high note. If you can't leave, then just say that one thing and leave it at that.

I hate meetings more than anyone has ever or ever will hate meetings, but I say at least ONE thing, even if its in addition to another persons comment.

You've got to say stuff in meetings bro' :yeshrug:

And I hate people telling me "you have to do x,y,z" but I'm telling you, you have to say something in meetings.

I'm headed to the Daley center for a meeting right now about construction contracts. I don't have shyt constructive to say other than "you guys are spending too much money", but my coworkers are presenting that, so I'm just going to congratulate the contractors on securing their bids and leave it at that.

Man I am an introvert myself, this is what you do when you don't have anything to add in meetings just look at whoever's talking and shake your head repeatedly. Half the time I'm not even listening to what they're saying:yeshrug: but it works

Am I the only one who didn't think it was that bad? But I crack jokes all the time. If couldn't take one then that would be hypocritical of me, yes?

some folks are shy and sensitive in public settings...

how ur love life these days?

just a joke, none of my business :russ:
