Then there are two of us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nobody knows better what it means to be unable to fit into the society than introverts. We\u2019re too quiet, too withdrawn, too lost in our heads and too individualistic to be accepted by the extrovert majority. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our friends and family find it hard to believe that we might in fact WANT to spend our free time alone, on a comfortable armchair, under a blanket, with a book in hand and hot tea on the table.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s wrong with that?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t worry about what other people say! Do what makes you happy!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know from experience that what gives an introvert sleepless nights is finding the ideal profession.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, let me share with you my golden means to a happy and satisfactory life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>I don\u2019t fit anywhere.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s difficult to find a perfect job. You\u2019re right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s easier for extroverts. Since they are outgoing, sociable, enthusiastic and attention-seeking, they feel great in professions where human interaction is a must.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For introverts, on the other hand, the choice of profession is tough to make.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although you might find many jobs difficult to cope with, there are still those that are suitable for you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of them is writing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why should I become a writer?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re wondering why you should become a writer, check the 10 ultimate reasons why this job is ideal for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s begin!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>No more recharging!<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Isn\u2019t working alone a dream come true? When you write, it\u2019s just you, your laptop and a coffee on the table. Nothing else. No direct human contact needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Creativity appreciated!<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aren\u2019t the creative tasks or hobbies those that you enjoy most? It\u2019s been <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/01\/15\/opinion\/sunday\/the-rise-of-the-new-groupthink.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">proven<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that introverts might be the most creative people, so why not to have a profession that will allow you to express that creativity?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Daydreaming allowed!<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much time do you spend in your head pondering about new ideas, rehearsing for possible future conversations or imagining yourself in various situations? You adore it, don\u2019t you? But, you are also being scolded for it. What would you say if you could have an excuse for living inside of your head?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>No more uncomfortable communication!<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Isn\u2019t it hard to give immediate feedback once you\u2019re asked a complicated question? No wonder. Unlike extroverts, you need time to process information, so speaking off the cuff is difficult. Discussing issues, especially with a group of people, is also tough. Ask yourself, do you prefer oral or written communication?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Reading! Reading! Even more reading!<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You love reading, don\u2019t you? There isn\u2019t a better evening than the one spent in bed with a new bestseller. As <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.openculture.com\/2014\/03\/stephen-kings-top-20-rules-for-writers.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stephen King<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> teaches us, good writers read a lot. Doesn\u2019t it mean you might be perfect for this job?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Boredom at bay!<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What would you say for going to a party? Do you want to say, \u201cspare me, please\u201d? I know what you mean. Nothing makes introverts more exhausted and bored than such socializing. Writing, on the other hand, will keep you engaged all the time. Isn\u2019t it fascinating to spend your time creating new worlds and characters, educating others by writing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/omnipapers.com\/how-to-write-a-blog-post\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">compelling posts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or researching topics and writing down your opinions and findings?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Comfortable clothes allowed!<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you like dressing down? It\u2019s been observed that introverts prefer comfortable and practical clothes. Isn\u2019t it great that once you\u2019re a writer, you can dress the way you like? If you work from home you can even write in your pajamas!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Work in the right environment!<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You easily get distracted by over-stimulating environments, don\u2019t you? You need peace and quiet for good concentration (check the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/agileleanlife.com\/a-success-guide-for-all-introverts\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">success guide for all introverts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Thus, working in such places as hospitals, restaurants or schools sounds uninviting. Wouldn\u2019t it be easier to choose the place to work? Depending on the type of the writing job you have, you can either work in a quiet office or at home. Wouldn\u2019t you like that?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Feel energized for social interaction!<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you seek solitude? That\u2019s because unlike extroverts, you gain energy by spending time alone. Imagine how energized you\u2019ll be if you spend most of your day on such a solitary and fun activity as writing. It will prepare you for meeting your friends, family or the significant other. Will you not have more strength to spend time with people once you spend some time alone?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Recover through writing!<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you suffer from depression? Since introverts are the most misunderstood people (deemed to be anti-social, unemotional or no fun), they tend to have a lot of social problems. Many find it difficult to make friends. Others feel they don\u2019t belong anywhere. If you also have such problems, writing might help you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goinswriter.com\/writing-to-heal-my-depression\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recover<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">! Won\u2019t you give it a try?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see, writing has a number of benefits for introverts, thus it makes a desirable profession. There is one problem, though.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Can I earn my living by writing?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you can!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on your aspirations, talents and aptitudes, you don\u2019t have to be a novel writer. If you want to have a job with a steady income, you might consider being a freelance writer, journalist or a blogger. There are many <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/thgmwriters.com\/blog\/writer-careers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">possibilities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Need more reasons to start your writing career?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you an introvert?
