Re: Hooray for Introverts!
I am split between INSJ and INSF. That is if I remember right. I will have to check the paperwork that I have on it.

Hey, this is me; but this is self-indulgence.
By all means, recharge, but recognize.

Re: Hooray for Introverts!
An abundance of distractions encourages introversion and our religion encourages introspection. An excellent way to get vision here is to examine the extreme. Go into...the forest or somewhere in nature where you will be unlikely to meet anyone--some work in itself, I admit--and camp for a week. No phone, etc. Sensory deprivation (from your pov). Ha, better start with a day first. No books. No radio. No cheating.
You have most likely never just been in your whole life. You would be insane after a week of this cold turkey. And it is where God is, the ultimate recharge, imo.

Re: Hooray for Introverts!
BB: Yes, we need to stop and recognize just who we are, and yes, living a few days without distractions or necessities of life will bring you to your knees, to realize just how small and insignificant and weak we are, and who God really is, and how much we desperately need HIM.
It may come down to that very soon for all of us... if this country we live in continues on its downward path....

Re: Hooray for Introverts!
It was a wake up call into just how disconnected I had become.
