Ask HN: How can I have a stable career when I don't like talking to most people?
I'm born into lower income parents and don't have many connections let alone connections to "higher places". I am single, I have only a handful of friends that I talk to regularly and I am happy with that.
I don't want to live for my job, and don't care about company social events or other events for professionals. I want to have a good, steady career without increasing my social activity for work as I get older. I'm a total homebody. Would rather watch TV and movies and do solitary hobbies when I'm at home, find my future partner online and have the rest work itself out.
Currently I'm unemployed but I still have an odd kind of optimism that cold applying will get me a job. Either I should work on my deficiencies, or work on my strengths and not worry about the "network" approach, which can be a better pick?
