use them all daily for her own good, my 15 yo is a loner, who is almost
always on his own. Not at all a social outgoing type.<
How do we define a "nice" person?
What do we really mean by "well adjusted?"
Why does everyone have to be socially outgoing?
I know Lydia only through cyber connections, but in my experience, she has
never been anything but pleasant and helpful. In fact, a few years ago she
went way beyond what could be expected. When one of the mothers in our US
LLL Group, who was Belgian, was seeking help for her newly-delivered sister
who was living in the Netherlands, Lydia went out of her way to help this
mother personally. Was this the action of a "not nice" person?
We need all kinds of people, introverts as well as extroverts. That is what
keeps life interesting :)
