We introverts get accused of being IMPOLITE when we dont want to say "Hi, how are you" all the time!!!

I noticed that most of the jobs listed here are math/science based. I just want to say that just because a person is introverted does not mean they with be good at math/science, at least I'm not. These jobs would be more suitable for left brained introverts.

@paperorpaper Yea!! And I score an SEA on the Holland Typology test which is labeled as the "Extrovert" range. I'm an INFJ in the MBTI, so I find this highly frustrating. Just because I'm an introvert doesn't mean I want to be holed up in an office all day. I love people, just 1 or a few at a time. And I need autonomy, peace & quiet, and flexibility to do my best work. Yet I'm bored to tears if I'm by myself all day or only have one thing to work on. Oh yea, introverts like multi-tasking too!!

@brolltitch introverts in general are basically considered outcasts of society cause they dont really blend in with others. ME? I dont blend in anywhere

[pyramidhead138]

I hate how the ""I-have-to-be-around-people-a­ll­-the-time - i-cant-be-alone type people"" are considered as being healthy, well adjusted and displaying HEALTHY human characteristics;

but us introverts are considered weeeird or impolite or depressive - you fuckin name it. WHY? WHY?!! But im a fuck load happier then you, slitting your wrists over the cashier who didnt ask how your day was.

I think everyone thinks introverts are some creepy antisocial and impolite people... and extroverts are I-have-to-be-around-people-all­-the-time, i-cant-be-alone type people.

I doubt these extremes DEFINE introverts and extroverts, unless they have some psychological disorder
