Is being introverted a disadvantage for indie hackers?
Has being introverted helped you or harmed you during your indie hackers journey? For some projects you just need to put yourself out there and sell/market, which can be quite tough for IHers.

I probably fall into introvert bucket. So far indiehacking is not working for me as I'd desire so I'd say it's a disadvantage. It's a bold statement without knowing other side of the coin.
But for example; Recently I come up with an idea and the next day saw someone on twitter planning to do something similar. I kinda wanted to get in touch to discuss a potential collaboration or ways for fair competition. But I didn't instead I thought about the pros and cons, they neutralized each other and I end up being inactive, doing nothing. 🤷♂️

Definitely, marketing is such a huge part of building almost any product, and being an introvert makes that so much harder.
I think so. I'm thinking about how well I'd do for conducting a user interview, and how my FB pm would be 10x better than me at it. Same applies for 1-1 sales conversations.
Well, I have just joined Indiehackers and so far am having fun. Its a great platform to explore new ideas, interact with people and communicate and discuss. And I guess if you got an awesome ideas, pitch it out right then. Its tough but its fun too. Cheers!!
