During a conversation with a salesman, he stated that engineers are uncomfortable cold calling companies or people. If you gave one an assignment to call fifteen companies, institutions, people, he would be very uncomfortable doing it. He believes the task would not get done.

All thoughts and humor are welcome.

If the individual is bitter towards others, then yes usually it ends badly. That was my exact experience so I decided to keep certain individuals apart.
Also, modesty helps a lot I find.
