I agree with you nonightowl. It seems like employers are always in favor of outgoing bubbly extroverts who have the energy of an energizer bunny. Which makes me wonder...is there any jobs out there where employers would actually prefer an introvert?

I was always made to feel weird for being quiet. I literally got called weird, and stuck up by people. I never thought being quiet would make someone seem "stuck up", this really confused me. My sister even went so far as to say I "seem rude" because I wasn't actively contributing to a social party/setting and was acting more of a wall flower.

I would assume that extroverts would be the ones hindering introverts. I can't really imagine how an introvert would hinder an extrovert...it's not like someone who is quiet would in any way get in between an extrovert and their work. There's a big difference between not doing a job you're supposed to do and being quiet...
