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.

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 3 Likes 1 Share |

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 1 Like |

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. 2 Likes |

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

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!!! Obinna ekwe 2 Likes 1 Share |

Acidosis: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. 10 Likes |
