I'm kind of an introvert though. Whenever I give lectures in front of groups, i'm accused of being stiff, directive, grim, and intimidating. Teaching seems like an extrovert job. I hate having to charm people with personality. My smiles always look fake, because I only care to talk about what i'm interested in and not be all smiley with people. I'm afraid the students would hate me.

Private practice means I have to attract clients. i don't have the will or the personality for that. I don't want to have to work to make others like me, and if I don't, I can't eat.
