Not Bad Loving Quiet

It may simply be that just about everything in the world interests me, yet I chose to think that some sort of serendipity draws me to find exactly what I need, when I need it most.

For instance, lately I have been wondering more and more about a seeming contradiction in my life. On one hand, willing to stand up in front of relatively large crowds to speak, or perform music; so definitely not shy, yet not really happy in the crowd, unless I know I'll be able to be on my own soon to process the thoughts. 

Susan Cain explains it all so very well.

  1. My first reaction, before seeing what your video was called, was, "Ah yes, an introvert. Join the oft-times misunderstood club."

    1. Join a choir Ellena. That is how it began for me. Hope you enjoyed the video.

  3. Fear of taking up too much or any time of others has done me little good in the past with teachers, doctors, employers and some more.
    Now, it does not matter any more to me. I'm kind of ok with whom I am now but wish I could change a few things of the past.
    Halle, I tried to copy the video but am not doing it right. Would you please send it to me or does it take too much time? Thanks in advance.

    1. Sadly, I don't know a way to save a copy of a video from YouTube either. It seems a waste to reload it over and over, I agree.

    2. Hi hon,

      This site enables you to download YouTube videos:

      http://keepvid.com

      I use it all the time. It's very simple (clearly - see previous statement ;c)) and quick. If you have any questions about using it, just let me know. You too, Ellena. :c)

      Hugs,
      Cass
