I'm an accountant, introverted and not loud. I'm deliberately silent so that I can assess who to allow into my space. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yes I am. Those close to me think I'm full out crazy because I have no problem in having a good laugh to where I would fall off the chair. In a social setting, I'm quiet until my kind of music comes on. After my dance floor workout, I'm back to being quiet especially if I'm around someone I do not have in my close circle. Crazy but quite sane.

I cHose accounting because I thought I wouldn’t have to deal with people. Boy, was I disappointed. I hate having to deal with these people and their entitled, pass aggressive, self serving nature.
