Having an introverted personality is not just being a little bit shy and uncomfortable when surrounded by a bunch of people. At times it is much more than that, so if you have introverts around you don’t force them into hanging out and socializing, because that is simply not their cup of tea. They like being alone, and nothing is wrong with them, they have their own universe and are perfectly happy with it. However, it has been proven that, unfortunately, introverts are prone to anxiety, which is even more complex when it comes to searching for a job, but we made the list for that case as well, and you may read about the top 10 Jobs for Introverted People with Anxiety.
