Introverts Often Work More Slowly And Deliberately. They Like To Focus On One Task At A Time And Can Have Mighty Powers Of Concentration . They're Relatively Immune To The Lures Of Wealth And Fame.

Introverts Need To Trust Their Gut And Share Their Ideas As Powerfully As They Can. This Does Not Mean Aping Extroverts; Ideas Can Be Shared Quietly, They Can Be Communicated In Writing, They Can Be Packaged Into Highly Produced Lectures, They Can Be Advanced By Allies. The Trick For Introverts Is To Honor Their Own Styles Instead Of Allowing Themselves To Be Swept Up By Prevailing Norms.

Many Introverts Are Also "highly Sensitive," Which Sounds Poetic, But Is Actually A Technical Term In Psychology. If You Are A Sensitive Sort, Then You're More Apt Than The Average Person To Feel Pleasantly Overwhelmed By Beethoven's "moonlight Sonata" Or A Well-turned Phrase Or An Act Of Extraordinary Kindness. You May Be Quicker Than Others To Feel Sickened By Violence And Ugliness, And You Likely Have A Very Strong Conscience.

You Once Said To Would Like To Sit Beside Me While I Write. Listen In That Case I Could Not Write At All. For Writing Means Revealing One Self To Excess; That Utmost Of Self-revelation And Surrender, In Which A Human Being, When Involved With Others, Would Feel He Was Losing Himself, And From Which, Therefore, He Will Always Shrink As Long As He Is In His Right Mind...that Is Why One Can Never Be Alone Enough When One Writes, Why There Can Never Be Enough Silence Around One When One Writes, Why Even Night Is Not Night Enough.

Evangelicalism Has Taken The Extrovert Ideal To Its Logical Extreme...if You Don't Love Jesus Out Loud, Then It Must Not Be Real Love. It's Not Enough To Forge Your Own Spiritual Connection To The Divine; It Must Be Displayed Publicly.
