Extrovert Analysis

My whole entire life I have been an introvert. You would think after going to seven different schools while growing up that by now I would have learned how to be more outgoing and more of an extrovert as it is called. However, I do not think that is something that I personally can learn. I have always been the quiet or shy girl. When I started going to a new high school my freshman year I was very quiet and never really said much. As the years went by I made many friends but about every single one of them said that when they first met me they thought that I was the most stuck up and unapproachable person they had ever met simply because of how quiet I was.

I guess I have somewhat always felt that I was looked at as lesser because I was not as vocal as others about faith. Honestly, maybe no one has looked at me that way and maybe it just hit me tonight and I needed to share it. One guy said it perfectly, "I wouldn't say that I am uncomfortable sharing my faith. I may not go around talking about it 24/7 but if someone asks me about it I am more than willing to tell them." This is definitely how I am as well.
