And I totally agree now that you said it- I didn't really think about this when I wrote it- but there is constant background noise all the time nowadays and I think people sometimes don't know how to just be still.Kristenhttp://miloandmolly.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587088304083498343.post-44969539498128716052015-02-12T15:27:44.474-05:002015-02-12T15:27:44.474-05:00I'm definitely a listener too and an Introvert...I'm definitely a listener too and an Introvert. While i'm okay in social surroundings, I'm not usually the one to initiate conversations with strangers although if someone approaches me, I won't clam up. I try to embrace the quiet when i can. We're so used to having some kind of "background noise" around that it sometimes requires extra work to silence everything, especially your mind.Marilyn (Pulp Sushi)http://www.pulpsushi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587088304083498343.post-42323287981706596542015-02-12T11:44:55.087-05:002015-02-12T11:44:55.087-05:00In some circles there seems to be a lot of emphasi...In some circles there seems to be a lot of emphasis on being head- I'm guessing that's an extrovert trait because I'm certainly not like that. I think you have to have some kind of inner calm that just lets you absorb what others or saying. Or a lot of the time, I just don't have a solid opinion to contribute to something, so I like to hear others' points of view on things. Either way, you learn something.Kristenhttp://miloandmolly.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587088304083498343.post-60529458117856572142015-02-12T10:24:50.707-05:002015-02-12T10:24:50.707-05:00Definitely a listener.

And often (not to sound full of myself) it's an idea or concept that no one else thought of because they were too busy talking. I like being able to listen and form ideas off of what I observe before jumping into something.Heidihttp://www.rowhouse14.comnoreply@blogger.com
