Being an introvert and a Christian myself, I had to reblog this. But I think even though these are our tendencies, it doesn’t mean we should stop striving to grow in some of these areas. For example, sometimes I can get fiercely selfish about my alone time. But it’s encouraging to know I’m not alone in these things. I particularly relate to 3, 6, 7, 8, 11, and most definitely 14. I’ll be the first to say I’m loud, corny, and awkward. What about you, beloveds? Any of these stand out to you?
If you ever met me, you would think I was an extrovert — I preach, I lead praise, I talk to everyone, I talk too much, and you can hear me laughing from across the street — but I am a full-blooded introvert.
If it were up to me, I’d rather be in my boxers all day eating Godiva while browsing food photo blogs and bothering my dog and cracking up at YouTube videos of Whose Line Is ItAnyway and leaving dry ironic comments all over Facebook while reading the latest theory on how Sherlock survived the second season finale.
I intensely guard my personal space and my private life. It takes a herculean effort to step outside my comfort zone and interact with messy, fleshy, real live human beings.
Here’s how you handle us.

That was interesting…I’m still not sure you are a true introvert. Maybe right in the middle between intro and extro, but I do believe you and that you related to at least six of his points. For me it was #4, 7, 8 (somewhat) and 12 that stood out.
I wonder what role social media and blogging play for introverts?
Good questions, Mama! I don’t think it’s the final words on who I am (my true identity is that I belong to Christ), but it does describe a lot of my natural tendencies.
Thanks for sharing my post! We are definitely not alone.
Thanks for writing it and commenting JS Park! God Bless!
I agree with your Mom, I see you as a mixture of intro and extro. Loved this article and related to many of the points!
Thanks girlie. Glad you read and liked it!
