The challenge is starting soon! Get to the friend feed lesson in pre-season (tv show automatically comes up when you click the package, then there's 2 instructional videos on the right) so that you can start sharing your stuff on friend feed! I'm going to let you GUESS the name of our friend feed room.
...and about that friend feed package... you know how I said ^ that tv show automatically comes up? That's what the last blog post was about. It's very important to understand the concept in there.
The rest of this post is mostly for Dave & Alex (and Steven) - but if you'd like to discover alittle bit about your personality, you can read it too.
So without futher ado - I present the finished version of my theory. I will be locked in my own head NO MORE!
Completing the Distinctions: Introverse & Extroverse
Specific Problem to address: introversing and extroversing at the same time.
Introverse: Having Thoughts (sourced from you or others) that you control-by-interpretation (as in, you control your thoughts since all your thoughts have to be filtered through your brain - you interpret them, you have control over them... or at least most of them.)
example: thinking about work... or thinking about philosophy... etc.
Extroverse: Doing (or flowing); to what extent depends on what you have to work with.
example: listening to music... or eating a great meal... meditating... making love... etc.
Describing someone as introverse or extroverse: Which they prefer to do more
intverse [---------------------------] ext (continuum)
Describing someone as introvert or extrovert: Do they think before they talk (in general more quiet) or do they talk-TO-think (in general more expressive)
intvert [---------------------------] ext (continuum)
There are 4 types of people:
Introverts that prefer an introverse (Bernice) (Dave & Alex's friend... i think? this is her?)
Introverts that prefer an extroverse (Shawn) (Fuller)
Extroverts that prefer an introverse (James) (me)
Extroverts that prefer an extroverse (Jared) (not you Kernel..)
I think introverts and extroverts are more or less locked into that distinction: It's part of their personality. Like anything else though, everyone talks to think and thinks before they talk at times. It's behavioral.
I think introverse and extroverse generally varies more on the situation, but preference can be linked with personality as I described above.
Problem: Trying to get out of an introverse by thinking about it-
Think about this for a second. Based on the distinction introverse, is this a working strategy?
And if other's encourage you to get "out there" more, you would naturally think about how to do that if you were in an introverse (like your in "think mode"). So for people who perfer introversing, it's easy to get locked into it. Like being trapped in a bubble.
Answer: Extroverse
Solution: See all thoughts for what they are: thoughts. Don't expect them to stop - you're a machine that cranks out thoughts continuously (hence the "get locked into it".) Just don't pay attention to them - by paying attention to something else.
You can't ignore them without doing something extroverse. You can't "just try to stop thinking". What'd be left? You'd be sitting there with nothing and that nothingness would get filled with thoughts. Instead, one must start doing or flowing- with something that doesn't require the chatter. Something like listening to a good song passionately, meditating, etc - but you'd have to embrace it. The more you embrace doing, the faster you "un-embrace" thinking.
Hence the problem with extroversing and introversing at the same time.
