The Highly Sensitive Person Podcast

33. Introverts in an Extrovert's Job

Listen Later

When I’ve talked about jobs and careers in the past, I’ve always said that sales, in my opinion, is one of the worst jobs for introverted HSPs.

 

But a post on Reddit turned my thoughts about sales on their head. What if an introverted HSP was in a typically "extroverted" job, and instead of forcing themselves to be extroverted...they used their innate traits to their advantage?

 

(Apologies to the extroverted HSPs because this is one of those episodes about introverts, or introverted HSPs.)
