第四段：
A. Depth Not Breadth When Meeting New People at Conferences: The routine went like this — end up at a conference with 100+ amazing people. Assume that “doing a good job” meant meeting and impressing all of them. Then beat myself up when I retreated from this goal after shaking a bunch of hands and finding myself unfulfilled, exhausted. So I changed my definition of success. It’s fine if I end up seeing a bunch of people but, really, if I can have meaningful conversations with just five, 10, 15 people over the course of a day, that’s a win.

• depth n.深度
• breath n. 广度
• retreat vi.离开；撤退
• unfulfilled adj.不满足的；没有成就感的

第五段：
B. When I Feel Ready to Ghost, Stay 30m Longer: Before I’d quietly slip away whenever I felt the first tingles of “uh I don’t want to be here anymore.” Now I recognize that impulse, honor it, exhale and see if I’m cool staying another 30 minutes. Once I do this check-in I’m totally ok bouncing after 30 if that’s still the way I’m feeling, but often I’ll end up hanging out much longer without even knowing it.

• ghost vi 溜走
• slip away 溜走
• tingle n.刺痛感
• impulse n.冲动
• honor vt. 尊敬；尊重
• exhale vi.呼气
• bounce vi.反弹；恢复
• hang out  闲逛；消磨时光

第六段：
C. Take 30–60 Minute Recharges: Look for points in the schedule where it’s ok for me to go take a walk, grab a coffee, take a shower or exercise. Things that put me in another headspace and recharge me. Yeah so it’s not that I wasn’t interested in your panel topic, it’s that I needed some Hunter time.

• grab a coffee 买杯咖啡
• headspace n. 心境
• hunter time 在这里是指自己独处的时光

第七段：
D. Pull People Aside for 1:1s: As my friend knows from an annual conference we both attend, I’m a big fan of catching up over a 1:1 walk, even offsite from the event. I find this technique especially good at evening events where instead of a loud noisy drinking circle, I’ll find someone I wanted to spend time with and we’ll find a location to just sit and chat for 20–30 minutes before releasing back into the frenzy.

• catch up 赶着做；补做
• release vt.释放；放出
• frenzy n.狂乱（这里指闹哄哄的地方）

How This Anxious Introvert Handles Large Events

第一段：
If you only kinda know me you might think I’m a confident extrovert, but if you really really know me, it’s more clear: I’m an introvert, and one who gets slightly anxious during prolonged exposure to large groups. Introversion isn’t shyness and it’s not a like or dislike of people generally. For example, I really enjoy public speaking. Introversion is quintessentially “does being around other people give you energy or take energy away?” Introverts can be proverbial life of the party but then need time alone to recharge.

• extrovert  n. 外向者
• introvert n. 内向者
• anxious adj.焦虑的
• prolonged adj.持续很久的
• exposure n.暴露
• introversion n.内向
• quintessentially adv.典型地；标准地
• proverbial adj.众所周知的
• recharge vt.充电；恢复精力

第二段：
My own introversion is compounded by low level anxiety in large group settings, especially when the social dynamics start to approximate high school — you know, groups of people, some of whom know each other and others who don’t. A bit of hierarchy and peacocking starting to play out, alcohol flowing.

• be compounded by  由于…而恶化
• dynamic n.动态；动力
• approximate vt.接近于；近似于
• hierarchy n.等级制度
• peacock vi.炫耀

第三段：
Over time, and in the interest of self-care, here’s how I’ve approached my own expectations and behaviors at events, especially day-long or multi-day conferences:

• over time 过一段时间
• conference n.会议

Suggestions from the Crowd:
• Get attendee lists in advance to identify folks you know who are attending or people with whom you have mutual friends/interests
