For me, sitting alone and writing things out helps. Talking makes me feel dumb sometimes because I can never grasp what's truly on my mind by speaking words. Writing forces me to think about it for a while and put thoughts in order, plus I get the chance to edit! What you say is true, talking personal things out is an extroverted thing for the most part.

I'm a teacher, and I remember having a conversation with colleagues one day about which they preferred, a class they planned that went well or one they hadn't planned that went well. Nearly universally everyone chose the improvised class, but then agreed they try never to have an unplanned class. Those unplanned classes were happy accidents. We're so risk intolerant we prefer safety to gambling with loss, which means we prefer ossification to flexibility. Thanks for this thoughtful post! You are certainly onto something here.

I've been following them for a few years now, harboring a secret fantasy about loading all of my possessions in my car, driving to rural Missouri, and building a little solar powered strawbale home. If it weren't for my fear of boredom and social isolation, I probably would have done it by now. Maybe we should both move there, and help them take their marketing and recruitment efforts to the next level.... Hey, I didn’t know you were a fan of the rabbits!
