Majors/Careers for Introverts?

<p>Hi,
I was just wondering which majors/careers are more introverted and less extroverted? I know there has to be some communication, but which have mostly independent work. I don't mind conversation as long as its not "in person". For some reason I had my face "freeze up" once. And ever since then (6 months ago) I can no longer have a normal conversation with people anymore....</p>

<p>I think that I would get a medical opinion to see if there is some issue at hand, other than introversion. It would be important to know about this prior to starting college. Remember, no matter what major or program of study you are pursuing, that college is a whole range of interactions, from roommates to advisors to eating in the dining hall. Unless you are talking about a total correspondence school type of thing, of which I have no knowledge. Good luck!</p>

<p>Yeah but I believe there are a certain group of people you would be comfortable with. I mean some classes like communications or speeches deal with a lot of friendship making and telling people what you do on a daily basis or what you do with your free time. And if it's not cool with them, you will not be satisfied with the class that forces you to articulate your ideas maybe every week in front of everyone. The audience in the back of heads are thinking oh what a loser blah blah blah just cause you don't have anything cool to say about yourself or any cool ideologies to talk about. Hahaha.</p>

<p>Yeah, that's no situation for anyone to be in. I can be a bit of a "lone wolf" myself, but I can have a conversation with pretty much anyone as long as they don't give me negative energy. (With those people, I just can't be bothered. Whatever.)</p>

<p>Interestingly, I tend to have the happiest (albeit skin-deep) chatty relationships with fellow students whose personal views are the total opposite of my own: anti-theists, leftists, etc. My stormy (albeit deeper) relationships are always with people whom I should get along with best, in terms of like-interests, views, etc.</p>

<p>Anyway, get that checked out. Your situation does not sound like a healthy one. Life is all about friendship, "in-person."</p>

<p>bcarvings: instead of just concentrating on the introversion part of your personality, why don't you take one of those temperament or personality type tests and once you get your "official" temperament type, there's scads of info online which can help you identify the types of jobs or careers which may be suitable for you. That's what I'm having my kids do, so that they're a little more self-aware. I think it's a valuable tool to help guide you. Please think about doing something like that. PM me, and I'll send you a link or 2, if you're interested.</p>

<p>hey mind if you post the links? I would love to take one of those tests.</p>

<p>any major that prepares you for one of the above might be an 'introverted major'.</p>
