Not Available

There is so much pressure on Introverts to be anything but an Introvert. Society says in order for us to approve of you, you have to be vivacious and perky and engaging and outgoing and energetic, etc. And then, Christianity says the same thing but in a different way, i.e. that one is Christlike (as in, we approve) if . . . .you are outgoing and friendly and gregarious and giving, etc.

So what is an Introvert to do with all this pressure to be Otherwise? My Home "Groan" Theory pertaining to this is that God made Introverts for Himself and sometimes He shares us with others and sometimes He doesn't. Likewise, sometimes I share myself with others and sometimes I don't. (Nothing like arranging reality to suit oneself!)
