“How dare you criticize me? It was you that screwed up, not me! You’re completely incompetent and if I hadn’t stayed cool, calm and collected there’s no way we’d have recovered from the mess you caused. …”Wow, you seem really upset about this?

We can perpetuate the idea that introversion is a negative or we can choose to see the two different types for what they are: different, but not better or worse. Words do change minds.

‘Fake It Until You Make It’ Never Works because FAKING IS FAKING, let me explain~
