I am a hobbit: I like things quiet, clean, and cozy. I am Romantic Goth. I am a catechumen in the Greek Orthodox Church.
I am an ISFJ on the Keirsey Personality Test. That means I am a Protector Guardian, a behind-the-scenes worker who wants to see my loved ones safe and secure.
I am very concerned with being nice; as an introvert, however, I am also often misunderstood as stand-offish. In reality, however, my shyness vanishes if I
judge you to be trustworthy and "safe." With most people, it's hard to get beyond "hello" and the occasional smile; I will return a
hug, but with discomfort, and will never give one. But if you enter my circle of close friends and family, I will become talkative and warm, especially
one-on-one. If I adopt you into my family circle, the hugs and other expressions of affection become easy. "ISFJs are extremely warm and demonstrative
within the family circle" (http://typelogic.com/isfj.html). "They are not as outgoing and talkative as the Providers, except with close friends and
relatives. With these they can chat tirelessly about the ups and downs in their lives, moving (like all the Guardians) from topic to topic as they talk over
their everyday concerns. However, their shyness with strangers is often misjudged as stiffness, even coldness, when in truth these Protectors are warm-hearted
and sympathetic, giving happily of themselves to those in need" (http://keirsey.com/handler.aspx?s=keirsey&f=fourtemps&tab=2&c=protector).
I have nonverbal learning disorder. It has been a struggle all my life, socially, academically and in dealing with everyday tasks. I am often misunderstood,
sometimes severely so. But I graduated college with honors, made friends, got married, started a family, held down jobs, even wrote books. I have published a
fantasy romance and three Gothics (two are romance) here: http://www.lulu.com/nerissa.
