Popularity was never important to me, but I wasn't thrilled about being bullied. I guess I did okay as an outcast and perhaps that is what shaped me from lacking the desire to be social.
A strong lean toward being introverted came as no surprise to me. I have always preferred being alone or in really small groups. I have never really been one to strike up conversations – especially with the unknown though my role in the RS presidency has pushed me out of my comfort zone. I find that I do enjoy greeting people and getting to know them – like the speed friendship activities.
I don’t enjoy large groups. I don’t initiate activities. I avoid leadership roles – though I have become more comfortable with taking charge . . . well, maybe not. For instance, if I am asked to teach I make myself a conductor and ask questions that I pray will lead in a direction other than myself. I don’t normally enjoy drawing attention to myself.
One question asked if I had had an exhausting
day would I like to wind down with a social activity. To me that is NOT winding down. Give me a book. Give me YouTube. Give me my kindle. Give me a deck of cards so
that I might play solitaire. I would prefer no people if I’m trying to
wind down.
