I'm beginning to think that the categories of "Introvert" and "Extrovert" are really descriptive of two ways people prefer to be selfish.

Passing Thoughts
Selfish may be a bit harsh. God makes people of all flavors - different gifts, strengths, personalities, etc.
To say that introvert and extrovert are selfish leanings would imply that a balance between the two is superior. Hmmm.
Perhaps we should be aware of our own 'vert' and its inherent temptations and strengths.

Extroverts and Introverts. These categories can be ways how people express a propensity towards sin (can't we use all our traits or preferences for meeting our desires how we think they ought to be met?). But I wouldn't limit it to that.
Both Introverts and Extroverts have their quirks, but value can be found in both- if only for the sole fact that God will use all things for His glory. However, I would consider that each one seems to has certain strengths as well, often complementary in nature to the other's strengths.
(this is a good reminder to carefully weigh how we exemplify our personality tendencies- using them to honor God or ourselves)
How exactly does God view these traits? Did He create these? Or is it another manifestation of how people have marred His masterpiece with sin, yet He, in His sovereignty, still chooses to make beauty out of that?
