“The emphasis is on community, on participating in more and more programs and events, on meeting more and more people. It’s a constant tension for many introverts that they’re not living that out. And in a religious world, there’s more at stake when you feel that tension. It doesn’t feel like ‘I’m not doing as well as I’d like.’ It feels like ‘God isn’t pleased with me.’” PeopleWorldFeelsWellsCommunityReligiousEventsProgramConstantMeetingsTensionStakesIntrovertEmphasisParticipating Book:Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking Source: Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
“Every accent, every emphasis, every modulation of voice, was so perfectly well turned and well placed, that, without being interested in the subject, one could not help being pleased with the discourse; a pleasure of much the same kind with that received from an excellent piece of music.
