This episode is an amazing revelation for me! I AM an introvert. But I also am amazed at how people all really do band together when something remarkable happens, like a natural disaster, or even a really bad car crash. People stop to help. People check on each other. I love that.
I don't like my current boss. They are mean and seem to be upset with me for my BEST qualities, like it makes them jealous. It increasingly makes me uncomfortable, and I make myself smaller to keep him from attacking me. I no longer want to do that. I want to be my big bright shining self and create all the value in the world that I want. If he has a problem with that, then its up to him to change or find the people that make him feel great. I'm looking for better people now anyway. And I will accept that he is a less mature person than I am, and treat him like a child that needs encouragement to grow happier.

i was always thinking that emptying the dishwasher was a waste of time. the last months it is my first happy-moment of the day because it is an easy task that makes you feel like you did sth for your future self. And while doing it, you can think, plan your day or meditate.

If the “chatty” train cars were overcrowded shouldn’t they have added more of those instead of ousting them?
