  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Shells are for turtles but I'm a fluffy introvert. I keep getting hurt and misunderstood. My introvertness is based on the fact that it takes time to get to know me. That time seems to be longer than what most people have time for these days.

I think Christ has given me a mission in this life to think on His goodness and grace
Well we all should do that yes. We are all commissioned by God to preach the good news and that is both with our life and with speaking it to the people, so that by any means they might be turned from darkness and into life.

I'm an introvert because social interactions really do exhaust me easily. With my disability, it's like being an animal performing in a circus act to entertain a whole bunch of people who expect you to perform that same tiresome dance you don't want to do.

Depends on the avenue. You don't seem like too much of an introvert here.

I actually love sharing and discussing ideas with people. Although I hate having a lot of friends and it is hard for me to feel close to others.

CF Singles is one of the few places where I can actually be myself without others being hard on me all the time. Of course I'm going to capitalize on it.
Alright should have read your first post more closely.

You're an introvert (in most circumstances) not by choice? Right?

People aren't introverts by choice. Introversion and extroversion are about how people react to social interaction - extroverts are energised by it, while introverts find too much exhausting, and as far as I know it's something that can't be changed. What can be changed is behaviour, so an introvert can become more outgoing, but they'd still be an introvert.

Being an introvert, I have learned that I am a thinker and have a tough time coming out of my shell. Do you feel this way?
I am an introvert, and shy. I don't really try to "come out of a shell". But I am able to be more talkative with people when I have more energy or if I know them. If I know them I am also less likely to be drained of energy as fast.

I'd assume if an introvert isn't very good at socializing it's because of a lack of experience socializing, not because they are incapable of it. I think during my school years I wanted to be an extrovert really bad, when someone told me I was shy I would do everything I could to prove them wrong. I look at introversion as a good thing, in a world in which the time you spend with people in person slowly decreasing being an introvert is a good thing because you aren't going to try to fight against what society is becoming. Which is well antisocial. Being an extrovert definitely had more value before technology took over.

It's not that introverts are incapable of socialising, but by their very nature they find too much socialising exhausting and need time to themselves to recharge. As a result they can often prefer not to socialise, leading to that lack of experience.
