The proper attribution or way to describe introverts. Introverts are not antisocial, they are simply differently social.
Shy folx are not antisocial. They do infact socialize and engage with people. Their approach to social engagement is different. Shy folk or introverts shouldn't be labeled antisocial; they should be referred to as differently social.

Ghost Hustling-the act of working hard on something no one else notices, leading to little or no recognition. Ghost hustling is also the unseen labor of people still pushing for visibility and truth in environments where their language—and by extension, their work is being strategically erased.
Policy & Bureaucratic Silencing
The current climate has banned specific terms in documents and communications. This can be viewed as ghost hustling language—words are removed behind the scenes, often without public acknowledgment. Affected researchers, agencies, advocates continue their work with limited recognition or visibility. The reported banning of diversity, equity, and inclusion can be framed as ghost hustling: these concepts still exist and are being discussed, but in a way that lacks institutional support or visibility.
Cultural & Political Reframing
Subtle language shifts in public discourse—replacing words like refugee with illegal migrant, or gender equality with family values—is ghost hustling. Advocates & policymakers continue work but the terminology they use to gain legitimacy or funding is erased or altered.
Media & Public Perception
Not officially banning words but making their use politically risky (categorizing terms as "woke" or "unpatriotic"), ghost hustles language out of public discourse. The act shifts censorship to individuals and organizations in ways that aren’t explicitly mandated but are quite impactful.

Ex. I've been ghost hustling at this job for months.
Ex. Ghost hustling never gets you the credit you deserve.
Ex. Policy Silencing
Climate scientists are ghost hustling in this new political climate, still conducting vital research even as terms like ‘climate change’ quietly disappear from official reports.
Cultural and Political Reframing
By replacing ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ with terms like ‘merit-based hiring,’ policymakers are ghost hustling an entire movement out of the public conversation.
Media and Public Perception
Journalists covering issues of systemic racism are ghost hustling their narratives into mainstream media, skillfully avoiding banned buzzwords to keep their work from being dismissed as ‘too political.’
