but they bore me. And engaging EVERY topic?
I disagree: to extroverts this comes naturally, effortless whereas I have to consciously engage and listen to a boring story. To me this is like a second job of top of my duties.
Yes, you will occasionally be bored at work. Yes, socializing is a form of work for us introverts. But what you don't seem to get is that this isn't a second job; it's part of the main job.
