"I won't shine my rusted edges. I'll just meet you on the shore." - Andrea Gibson
“Best super villain plan ever.”
Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.

This is true. This is exactly how I feel.
BOOBIES!!
Rainy Day.
Hmmm…interesting. I wonder what would happen if we redirected our military budget to researching and treating underlying social problems?

Instead of saying “I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,” and see how that feels. Often, that’s a perfectly adequate explanation. I have time to iron my sheets, I just don’t want to. But other things are harder. Try it: “I’m not going to edit your résumé, sweetie, because it’s not a priority.” “I don’t go to the doctor because my health is not a priority.” If these phrases don’t sit well, that’s the point. Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we don’t like how we’re spending an hour, we can choose differently.

I like this way of looking at things. Language is powerful.
That’s the way it is, Republicans. Deal with it.
Remind me again why we humans think we’re so important? The universe existed for eons before our meager existence and will exist for eons after we are gone.
