The introvert's guide to Big Cons: Do you identify as an introvert? Have you felt overwhelmed at big kink conventions? Have you ever felt expected to have the "time of your life," the kind that get written up in K&P in gushing tones, only to feel disappointed after a con because you didn't quite have that amazing experience with a whole bunch of people that everyone talks about? This class might be for you! This is one person's guide to handling large scale kinky conventions. Learn to identify your needs before they overwhelm you and ruin your big con experience. We'll talk out personality traits, goal setting, expectation management, and self care. Come share your ideas and methods of coping at large scale cons. Hopefully, through sharing and discussion, you'll at least walk away with learning something new about yourself. This isn't a scientific study of personality traits, but one way to use certain personality assessments as a tool to help manage expectations and one's emotional needs. Extroverts, especially shy extroverts, are welcome too.
