Adam S. McHugh
“We may be in particular danger for depression because we internalize our emotions, and we may also carry inside us the dysfunctions of our families in ways that extroverts don’t.[2]”
Adam S. McHugh, Introverts in the Church: Finding Our Place in an Extroverted Culture

“Introverts have a constant internal monologue rushing through our heads.”
Adam S. McHugh, Introverts in the Church: Finding Our Place in an Extroverted Culture

Frances Hodgson Burnett

Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess
