So I’m an introvert. One of those who, if invited to a party will come up with a list of reasons why I can’t come, even though I do like you and your friends a lot. It is just that to me, meeting new people takes a lot of energy.
It doesn’t mean I don’t like people. Quite the opposite; I find humans absolutely fascinating, and I spend hours every day thinking about why we do what we do, how we can do it better and how we are motivated. Perhaps it is because I invest a lot in the relationships I have, and more fleeting interactions are not for me.

Two weeks I was asked to do a live TV interview, on a show that is broadcasted to 365 million households. Funnily enough, that is an event that really makes me excited! Put me in a car with someone I hardly know and I will try to climb out after 5 minutes, but live TV!? I’d love to!
Of course I was a bit nervous, those famous butterflies had a little race just before we went on air, but overall? Calm as a pot of soured milk. (Swedish expression)
I would do it again if I could!
