\n<\/em>*FIRST A very quick, very necessary, very punctual definition of introversion* (to simply and responsibly whet the pallet) Introversion, as it happens is not a measure of one’s ability to be charming, debonair, dashing, or resplendent. In fact, Introversion versus Extroversion signalises plainly the idea that humans gather energy from other humans differently. Extroverts can plug in to any social situation, positively teeming with other unfamiliar humans and thrive, whereas for an Introvert to do so, it would take an immense amount of Self Actualization, and, well, courage to venture out and capitalize on such an endeavour.
\nFor a human to survive, it needs human contact, and therein, as they have been wont to say
\nLies. The. Rub.
\nThe steps for cooking and assembling the Introvert\u2019s Breakfast leave room for improvisation. But, in order to provide a rubric, the following guidelines are recommended:<\/p>\n

FIRST: Start with coffee. Coffee at any time is never a bad idea. Any roast will do so long as it\u2019s rich to the particular taste. (for this step, drinking the coffee is not actually <\/em>required, \u2018tis the ritual that comes with making the coffee, simply to \u201cget the ball rolling\u201d as it were)<\/p>\n

SECOND: A journal entry. Experienced introverts are well versed with this step, however, it is more often forgotten or simply not mentioned in other recipes. The cultivation of one\u2019s own handwriting is an essential flavour. Basic, yet essential.<\/p>\n

THIRD: A series of decisions. The combination and variety of decisions varies, but can usually be whittled down to \u201cwhat to wear,\u201d \u201cwhere to go,\u201d and \u201cwhom to see.\u201d These are important, for they must be bold, defining, decisions. Robust things that will put you \u201con the radar\u201d for potential conversation. These decisions flavour the outing. The bolder they are the more savory sweet bitter sour spicy
\nyour encounters will be.<\/p>\n

Combine these elements on a plate and indulge. Sprinkle a little \u201calone but not lonely\u201d or \u201cmysterious, single bar patron\u201d on top for taste.
\n*If you didn\u2019t get it right the first time. Choose to try again. Though the public can be draining, a balanced diet calls for the consumption of this recipe at least once a week*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
