Sounds abit introvert sort of personality which is rather
surprising that you would choose a teaching job since that involves
alot of interaction with your students as well as other teachers to
get your work done.
Everyone will have their small circle of close friends but most
will still have a larger circle of normal chit chat, hang out
friends to pass time etc.
Don't always wait for people, if you know where the problem in
you lies, why not try to change and improve your social skills? 4
yrs in NIE would be damn boring if you don't intend to mix around
and just stick to yourself
I choosen a teaching career because I want to try to change the
next generation, and I can get along well with others, just that
for some reasons I am not as free to hang out with others like most
people are.
I am very happy to have found this place for me to crap about,
and I don't like bothering others unnecessarily.
I am not interested in turning myself into those over-friendly
guys who will say hi around the place, and will much prefer to keep
it to myself.
Btw, it is 2 years in NIE, and another 2 in NTU. Don't worry
about me getting bored, if I can easily amuse myself by boosting
post count, there is very little which I cannot do to entertain
myself.
