THE INTROVERT TRANSLATOR

4/29/2022

Yes, I am an introvert.

Introverts are often seen as grumpy, weird, and rude. Is that true?
Well, I would not call myself the hit of the party, but I am not a grumpy person.

I admit I don't have any problem spending time alone, and in fact, sometimes I need it. Being around so many people for too long drains all my energy, and I need a moment to recover.

However, I believe that my character fits my work perfectly. I love to spend my time reading and reflecting on the world around me. I definitely have "my head in the clouds".

Even translators need to connect with the world and interact with other people from time to time, but I certainly don't suffer if I have to spend some time alone.
It is essential to find a job that fits your character well, otherwise, it can be so tiring.

Any other introvert translators?

I am a fellow translator, and I also am an introvert.

I do need time alone, and also need time to recover after spending time with many people.

But that is only true on some days, on others I thrive in good company and messy environments.

And for people who notice, this duality probably makes me look even more weird, grumpy or rude.

Thank you so much for your comment. :)
You are right, introvert people may look so weird sometimes.
