My thoughts, ideas, opinions, etc. are not taken from elsewhere. What you read here in My Little Back Shop (other than in poems or quotations, etc. that are obviously by someone else) are my own views. I, an individual who happens to be an introvert, am the person who is thinking these things; I do not copy from what other introverts say and pretend that it is my thinking or that their experiences are mine. We are all unique, no one like another, and we are all over the scale from "slightly introvertish" to "full throttle introvert" and with our own personality quirks and experiences, so it can't be assumed that what I think is the same as what other introverts think, though I feel sure that many other introverts would agree with me about most things at least in general, if not in all the particulars or with the same exact amount of passion.
It's true I sometimes generalize about introverts, when I believe that something is true (to some degree) among all of us. After all, how could we be identified as an introverts if we didn't have some things in common? But I know that my particular opinions and ideas and experiences are my own and I realize that if you listen to another introvert their opinions and ideas and experiences will not be the same as mine, though there would certainly be some things we agree on because we are introverts.
