Thanks for your comment. What a generous spirit you have towards your minister. It is heartening to read how much you appreciate his gifts.

I don’t think all the traits of introversion of handicaps, either; the problem is in convincing people in an extravert-biased world!

My minister (Anglican, Sydney diocese) I would classify as an introvert. However, he seems to know all that is happening and quietly uses the right opportunity for conversation. My only “complaint” would be that he is very conservative, as befits a Sydney Anglican!, and I am much more liberal. I like him though and his teaching is good.

As a severely introverted introvert, I have exhibit almost all of the traits you mention, and yet I don’t think of all of them as handicaps. In fact, I like being a calm, reserved person. As I have tried to become a more outspoken individual, I have made many mistakes that my previous style of thinking through conversations, writing out responses, etc, would have helped me avoid. Such is life…
