Sometimes, they are too self-critical, and their first response at a remark would be if it was meant for me or if I have done anything wrong. ????Self-centered: this is not a moral judgement. It is meant here that when introverts are dealing with others they tend to care more about their personal feelings and link everything to themselves, and when there are any troubles they are ready to take the blame and check their doings to see whether it is their faults. ????Social life: they are unsociable in most cases and like to remain quiet, isolated. They are afraid of noisy environment and they don't like show off themselves. ????Suitable occupation: these kinds of people are good at jobs that deal not with people such as financier, technician, engineer, and researcher. They prefer challenging jobs in solitary and unrestricted working environment that is free from disturbances and competitions.
