Well, to reiterate the title, do you need to be a charismatic "people person" in order to be a successful lawyer? You know, the type of person who can instantly start a conversation with a complete stranger? Make people like them, the life of the party, enjoy being center of attention, and pretty much an overall outgoing social extrovert.
Because I'm not the type of person who has a charismatic personality like some people do, nor do I have superior social skills that can engage in small talks or start conversation about anything (Other than if it deals with facts). You see, I am a very analytical, logical, and reason orientated person. I tend to come off as a blunt person because I don't beat around the bush. My conversations are based on facts or anything that is intellectually stimulating--not about how the weather is, how the family is doing, and pretty much anything that isn't intellectually stimulating. Nor do I believe in artificial chit-chat either and, therefore, not very good at it. I am also an introvert in case you haven't noticed (Tip: Introvert does not mean being shy). Am I at a grave disadvantage here because extroverts can be more like-able to their clients and employers?
