Summary: We see you there. Pinchers flexed, ruddy hardened exterior, yet profoundly soft underneath your exoskeleton. Like our aquatic friend, the lobster, we too have fought the fight of the introvert.

Why the shell? We didn’t feel safe, so we hid inside. Deep down within—leagues below the sea where we sought refuge from judgment from the outside world. Unlike the extrovert who gallivanted around, seemingly unaffected by the setting that brought us into peril.

A wild idea, but what if introverts and extroverts were really two sides of the same coin? What if it was environment or the perceived state of safety in one’s milieu? The lobster is at home at sea, yet alien in the desert.

We ask that you place your pinchers in a relaxed position. Soften your exterior so that we can reach the buttery soft, open space within. The space that longs to embrace the world as the world holds reciprocal embrace. Come up for air, lending your ears as you listen on!
