INFJ - The Outgoing Introvert

I’m always ecstatic about meeting other Introverts in Seattle. After our wonderful meeting, I enjoyed shopping for books and eating ice cream while relaxing at the park on Capitol Hill. If you're ever in the Seattle area, visit “Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream” on East Pine Street. I must confess, I ate the best Ice Cream I've ever had in my life. This delicious shop with gourmet flavors is rated 4.5 out of 5. The best part about this shop is you can try the ice cream before you buy it. A great way to sample some freebies, aye?

The best part is being goofy and silly. This is why I love Seattle. A city manifested with introverts, nerds, geeks and foodies. No wonder I call this beautiful city home. "Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a

On March 6, 2009, Kepler telescope was launched into space to detect Earth analogs, which are planets that have a star to orbit like our sun in the habitable zone . In doing so, Kepler can detect planets that orbit in front of their stars and document its existence. Kepler has a 95-megapixel array of charge-coupled devices, the largest camera currently launched into space. After Kepler’s 3-year mission, astronomers discovered the first Earth-size planet orbiting a star in the habitable zone (NASA, Kepler mission). Kepler-186f” was discovered within the Kepler-186 system. Nearly 500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus, Kepler’s system has a total of four planets and an M dwarf star that orbits once every 130-days. In the Milky Way Galaxy, 70% of the stars are dwarfs. "M dwarfs are the most numerous stars," said Quintana. "The first signs of other life in the galaxy may well come from planets orbiting an M dwarf." The four planets that reside on t

Ever since childhood, I've been an introvert but had no idea. Being called a nerd or getting picked on for being quiet was common in my childhood. While my siblings had a ton of friends to socialize and hang with, I always had one or two good friends. That didn't bother me much. As I got older, I tried hard to be an extrovert so I could look cool on Friday nights. Once I went off to the University, I noticed all of the "Cool Kids" looked like they had somewhere to go. Me on the other hand, my friends would stay up until 7:00 am the next day playing Mario Party, while snacking on sushi and chips. Later on, I began to feel like I was wasting my college experience and needed to do something different. In doing so, I was unwillingly forced into my first “College Party” senior year. In my mind, something different meant: bowling. That was the worst night of my life. I also felt very uncomfortable, so much so, the “Friend” I was with displayed signs of irritation. I l
