Introverts and Extroverts



Brenda and I just returned from a lovely lunch and short tour.  First we went to Sanitas.  Sanitas is a plant nursery and tea garden.  It is very nice and seems popular with locals as well as ex-pats.  They have a nice restaurant and a serene environment.

After the lunch we went to the yacht club which is a nice little place just up the reservoir from Sanitas.  From the yacht club you can see the highest mountain in Botswana at something over 1200 m high.

We made it home about 1530, and Brenda was exhausted.  As a classic introvert, being around people, especially NEW people drains her totally.

I’m a classic extravert.  I am energized by people, and new people are just “friends we haven’t met yet."  I can be tired and go into teach a class and be energized!

But don’t get me wrong.  Brenda is not in any way inferior as an introvert, and I am not inferior as an extrovert, we are just different, even as one culture differs from another.

G^d, in His wisdom, made us as He did.  Scripture tells us, just as body parts each are different and contribute in a different way, so we NEED the various parts.

I say thank you L^rd for introverts, that way us extroverts don’t have so much competition for attention!

  1. Being an extravert: does that mean you are a super dooper extrovert? LOL!
    David and I are sorta that way too. Except he is only an introvert when he wants to be. And I am a reformed introvert.
    The good Lord saw to that. I needed to be more outgoing for my job, so He changed me.
    Strange, huh?
