Agozie48: @OP this is very ridiculous and stupid who says that being an introvert makes it impossible to succeed in any of these things . Am an introvert and over 10 years and counting am I have been running a business and its a very successful one. You say an introvert cant make a good doctor . let me tell you medicine is the best career choice for an introvert because he or she will connect and empathise with his or her patients. The Extroverts we have as doctors are the ones who make a mess of public hospitals with their rude attitude and the fact that they seem to show less concern towards their patients. Don't joke with an introvert because he or she can show you the best and great qualities of themselves when they need to . Being an introvert doesn't make you less of a human being or doesn't make you less successful . I know many introverts who have succeeded in all these career and are still rocking . bro you not entirely an introvert or you don't even know who you are. no need for name calling no one is fighting with you. |

Teempakguy: someone already said this before and it's worth repeating: introverted does not equal antisocial. if you're so "introverted" that you cannot do any of these jobs at all, then even your daily life will suffer and your quality of life Will be lower than it should be.
I like the list, though. so introverts are social? first to initiate convos? like to be in crowd? |

jossey94: Nawa oo. This is a very ignorant post. So, because of my introverted nature, I will not succeed in any of those 5 careers. Balderdash. You really need to understand that nobody is 100% introverted and introverts do handle themselves well in social situations when they need to do so, usually for their careers and their families. The one about doctors is just silly. As an introvert, I would connect more easily with my patients because in my experience, I v found that I tend to empathize more with people. This would make it easier to form relationships with patients. Also, introverts do smile. Lack of smiling is not a trait of introverted people, but rather a personal choice.
You need to educate yourself more on the subject before coming on NL to put up an article.
Highly disappointing article.

paulhq:
Before I proceed, please be aware that am not attacking you, at least not aggressively...
1) Are you an introvert? If yes, how did you know? And if an 100% introvert, how did you know you are? If not, then either you refer us to the person who wrote the article, or you answer this question: do you think it is fair that a person from a different perspective speak for another group and make it fact rather than see from theirs?
2) The Tim Lahaye, I respect him, but it's either you (or someone) misinterpreted his book, or he is wrong to make an assumption on behalf of more than 7 billion people in the world based on some few thousands he researched. Or maybe he really didn't make it fact, his theory is "if people have one tendency to do this, then they are more likely to have more tendencies to do that"
3) I would have supported your post a little ... if it didn't make some wrong assumptions that people having over the years always had about introverts (once again, are you one?) 1. MARKETTING: .... 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
but sir, why didn't you tell me options are finished, my igbo brothers can manufacture new ones
2. MEDICINE: .... 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.
"clearly" abi? Please the writer should send us his personal goggles, maybe then I will clearly see where I lost my N20 I wanted to buy groundnut with the other day.
3. ACTING: ....
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
seriously?
4. POLITICS: ....
Why should you be thinking of this when you are a greenhorn at cheer leading and you are socially incapacitated
you don't mean it, tell me more
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
what is the pessimic nature you keep talking about, is it a type of food, a skin color, is it something people are born with, is it an atomic bomb... it sounds pretty terrible God whyyyyyy.... why did you create me like this... so you mean am stuck as a worker and I can never be an entrepreneur, you mean I can't achieve my dreams because I have a "personality handicap"
In conclusion, being an introvert, even 100%, is not an handicap. An extrovert can and will also fail in these professions if they don't do well. And guess what, from my personal experience, what I've seen others, and research I made which you can also make... three strengths (among others) of an introvert are writing, speaking and acting... and creativity. As a matter of fact, an introvert is more likely to succeed at anything if they put their mind to it.
Hay, guess what, Bill Gates and Nelson Mandela are introverts... don't argue this one, I have their books on my table here.
So in the end, just admit that you copied the post from somewhere... and we can all be friends again before the pros your attempt at showing how clever you are was futile. First we aren't friends and 2nd I didn't copy. I don't expect you to believe me cos most copy and paste bloggers have made originality a trash. you mentioned bill gates and Mandela they told you they were 100% phlegs? try next time bro |

If you can do all those things listed there without hassles then you probably have some extrovert tendencies, a pure introvert will never attempt marketing or politics. The fear of associating with public strange faces is enough discouragement. |

Anyone on earth can be whoever he or she wants to be. Bill Gates is an introvert but yet he is the richest man in the world. The products of one of his many business empire is the avenue you are using to type rubbish. Note Nelson Mandela was an introvert and he led the emancipation of South Africa from white minority rule and served as South Africa’s first black president. And you say an introvert cant succeed in Politics you need to check yourself well. |

Re: 5 Careers/jobs To Avoid As An Introvert by Nobody: 1:31pm On Jan 08, 2017 |
lacasera14: 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 for 100% introverts with no extroverted tendencies whatsoever. As we all know, some people are actually a blend of the both temperaments.
1. MARKETTING: 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 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 because of that constant scowl on your face.
3. 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.
4. 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 appointed as a special adviser in a relevant field.
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!!!
