Practice your presence.

Again, I go back to Dustin and Ray.

However, in certain situations where you find yourself, you break that particular, um, introspect aspect-

We're going to see what it says.

Your result says confidential.

The parts that did fit made me stop long enough to pay attention.

Introversion was not a shock.

Given the instability moving and lack of steady connection in certain seasons of my life, that makes sense to me now.

So let's try that.

Introversion is a personality style.
