Hello, My name is Sylvia. I am a self-taught developer on their journey and writing about it as inspiration hits. Today's inspiration came from when I remained silent. Silent during twitter spaces, discord, and zoom meetings. I stayed silent while he...

This is a great read, thank you Slyvia. The fact that I am not alone in this is a great comfort

Thank you so much for writing this Sylvia. I see myself through your words because I struggle a lot with networking. My tongue gets tied when I try to speak or I feel like I'm not smart enough to join the conversation in a space. But I believe it's possible and I'd like to give myself the opportunity to try. I know/hope I can do it🤭

Thank you so much! Networking is a skill that takes time to get used to. I totally believe that everyone has got this!

Since your first Twitter Space, I've seen you grow so much! You're more active, you speak out, and you're making great connections. It's so important to have a safe way to introduce you to something you're not comfortable with. I'm happy that things are working out for you. Great things are coming your way!

Thank you so much! I appreciate it immensely. You're and the tech community help push me to continue my best! 🥰

This was a great read, Sylvia. My first (and only) Twitter space was exactly the same; my hands trembled and I walked around while talking, the notes I'd made beforehand were pretty useless so I had to make it up on the spot which I'm not great at. I need to find a friendly safe space to practise.

It was the same for me. I had notes but I forget I'm dyslexic, haha. In moments like that the notes become almost unusable. I think a safe twitter space for people who are anxious about speaking is much needed. I heard your space and thought you were wonderful. The hand raising bit helped me so much, allowing people the choice to speak is super helpful.

I love this! I'm hoping to dip my toes into networking as well. My only fear is saying something "stupid".
