Hi everybody.

I am currently a HR intern. I’ve been called out by other members of the department for being too shy and introverted. I have zero issues interacting with candidates or hiring managers but I absolutely do not enjoy small talk with other employees and this seems to overshadow all the work I do. I have been told I should interact with everyone in our office but I simply can’t I’m just not that kind of person. I cannot engage unless it’s work related. This has got me wondering if I’m heading down the wrong path. I just need a final honest verdict. Is being introverted going to hamper my career in this field?
