Five Careers/Jobs to avoid as an introvert Being an introvert is a lot more trouble by default, from people miscontruing your silence and quiet disposition for an awful snub to people thinking you are too full of yourself or you are so weird. You don’t want to compound issues for yourself by towing a career path meant for gregarious extroverts? Do you? I didn’t think so either. So except you want to become an extrovert overnight, here are top 5 Jobs or Careers you should avoid. Caveat: this list are

1. Marketing: This jobs is quite tasking even the outgoing type gets depleted by it occasionally, you don’t want to be found here trust me. You are bad at relating with strangers, you find it difficult to smile without a reason and to crown it all you are a pessimist which means you have no option than to fail at this, so no matter how juicy and tempting the price is; never venture into it. Asides from you being a loser, plunging into depression is certain. You are an introvert. 2. Medicine: Granted, you

Medicine: Granted, you are well endowed with intellect and you can concentrate for long hours reading, you have few friends, you rarely socialize so books are your best buddies but you see being a doctor or nurse demands more than that even though studying is the most imperative. The warm smiles, the jovial attitudes, the lively and fun personalities of the extroverts do have a psychological effect on patients whether you choose to believe it or not and you clearly don’t possess any of these qualities. You might turnout to be a great Doc or nurse but don’t be surprised when a patient gets a heart attack due to the constant scowl on your face

Acting: So you use to act playlets way back as a kid and no doubt you are talented, you now feel acting is the way to go, sorry friend, it’s a wrong call you about to make. you could act back then because you are in a familiar environment and you are less nervous around the people you know. Acting as a career will not give you that familiar audience to show your talent. What if you hit stardom? How do you handle the limelight attentions, interviews, exposure and some of the hazards that come with being a celebrity. Well since you have a knack for depression, what becomes of you when your daily life is being dissected and misconstrued by the public via social media on a daily basis? I’m looking at a scenario where you call it quits at the peak of your acting career because of depression and the public poking into your dear private life which is such a shame if you ask me. So better don’t go in.

Politics: Why should you be thinking of this when you are a greenhorn at cheer leading and you are socially incapacitated. If you manage to pull through in all the numerous campaign outings and you are finally elected be it at any level of politics, how many ceremonial invitations that requires your presence and functions are you going to turn down on the grounds of emotionally drained batteries? Or perhaps you want your deputy to steal the show and probably buy the hearts of legislators to impeach you. Politics requires an outgoing charisma, a flair for unionism and a love for limelight. So it doesn’t matter if you have the passion to liberate your people from the shackles of whatever that has held them bound or you have big dreams of making your constituency enviable, you lack the temperament for it. If the drive is so strong on your inside, you can ally with a sociable person that you can influence or walk your way to being

5. Business: Being successful in business demands the risk taking habits of socially inclined people not the pessimic nature of introverts who will first look at the cons before the pros. They suffer from uncertainty and indecision which will in the long run jeopardize chances of major breakthrough in business. Since you often lack self motivation, any storm in business might throw you off balance causing you to probably give up too soon and plunge into depression or make you seek for alternatives abandoning the present course. Your low social life also affects your interaction with customers, people would prefer to rather patronize a friendly person’s business rather your withdrawn introverted self. Most of the crumbled businesses you see around are as a result of some introverts who got doomed by their own temperaments because they treaded the wrong path. In conclusion it is salient to know your strengths and weakness and go for what works you. Your passion should be your fuel in the drive to success. Good luck!!!

Haaaa! This bro sef. Your last paragraph is funny, but true.
@Op.. you only made little sense in the aspect of marketing (physical), acting and politics (as practiced in Nigeria) as majority of introverts MAY not be able to cope well, but it is not even always true. You goofed in the other two.
People often erroneously take a shy person for an introvert and vice versa, and this will lead to many ridiculous assertion about introverts.
Being an introvert is a bit broad too, and there are always individual differences which often ensure some introverts can do what others can't.
Life of an introvert is not as definite as people often portray it to be. Nothing is cast in stone.

Lies from the pit of hell, may b OP should go and read more about introverts. Introverts can flourish in anything so far he/she is interested.

Rukkydelta:
