Anastasia13 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Don't go to Mass? Hey, I did that! I miss people though... It's so quiet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'm a complete extrovert, but I still got 2, 3, and 7. They don't horrify me because I hate talking to people, but because I don't find them appropriate at Mass whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandelynmarie Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Omgoodness, I carry an extroverted persona in my back pocket that I take out on an as needed basis, usually for work. ;) I interiorly cringe whenever someone tries to talk to me before Mass, but I do my best to be charitable. And I love the sign of peace in the Maronite Rite as it is only passed from Monsignor to the deacon & then down each pew. :) But that's just me...

Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) I hate when people sit near me during Mass. And I hate being surrounded at Mass. You think you've chosen the perfect row where there won't be too many people, then 2 minutes before Mass starts a family of 6 sits in the row in front of you. Sometimes i do sometimes i don't, but honestly i would be overjoyed to see standing room only at every vigil and Sunday mass, even if i had to stand every time, that would be Awe-somE, for me anyway it would.

Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) I love my solitude. I love to read, love small gatherings, and definitely don't care for noise and attention. But I'm also really, really good at small talk so I don't mind it much. And I also work in a place where a lot of eyes are on me 8 hours of my work day. But that I don't mind much because I love what I do and I'm pretty confident. My job requires a lot of public speaking, all my college years zapped that fear though lol. Or when you get to Mass 10 minutes before it starts, all the pews are pretty empty, you pick a seat at the end of the pew, and before you know it someone shows up and you have to politely move over. Sometimes I'll stand up and get out of the pew for them or just shift my knees over for them to get by (I'm tiny enough) but that can be just awkward. I like sitting at the end because of a better view. Why so finiky? Just sit next to the person. What if sometime in the near future there is standing room only? What do you do than?

Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) http://themetapicture.com/how-to-interact-with-the-introverted/ What if there isn't such a thing called introvert, what if it is F.E.A.R (false evidence appearing real) or worse Judgement and Condemnation of others.

PhuturePriest Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Introversion simply means you are energized by being alone and your energy is slowly (or in some cases, quickly) drained by social interaction. Extroversion means the exact opposite. We need both extroverts and introverts in this world, otherwise it would explode with inefficiency in a terrifyingly spectacular way. There's nothing fake or bad about being either one. Every good, solid friend I've ever had has been an introvert. They are outgoing and fun, and sometimes louder and more talkative than I am, but they reach a point where they need to be alone. This sucks for me, as I never reach that point. However, I live with it and respect their need for privacy, and I wouldn't trade them for any extroverted person in the world. In my experience, extroverts and introverts are not more inclined than the other to be judgmental or condemn others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyAnn Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 #8 is so me. My current parish isn't open during the day, which disappoints me terribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) This is confusing, unsure what i am. I think i am a bit of both, sometimes one sometimes the other, sometimes i stress alone and sometimes i stress around others, and sometimes i don't. What does that make me ? An extro intro, am i meant to be one or the other ? I need to find me me thinks. :( Edited November 25, 2013 by Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
