Hi Steve,
I can relate to your discomfort with your roommates. Suffered through many agonizing situations similar to what you described. I’m not SSA, but I am an introvert. Sounds like you are too. It’s very difficult to be an introvert in our hyped up culture, but there’s help and hope. These books helped me to accept my introversion as a gift, and even better, they have given me the peace to not feel the need to convince others that I’m really OK:

Quiet:the power of introverts in a world that can’t stop talking by Susan Cain

and

Introvert Power: why your inner life is your hidden strength by Laurie Helgoe

Now I can appreciate and not envy the extroverts in my life. Hope these help – God bless you.

I don’t know if it’s just because I’m from Texas or what, but I had no idea what “scrapple” was. I thought it was some portmanteau of something and apple. Apparently it is not.

Gross.

No, that wasn’t Jesus who said that. Doesn’t mean it is wrong; sometimes it can be true, I guess.
Much of what you said sounds familiar to me… so I feel for you. Just remember: this our frail and weak human condition has been exalted and raised to the right hand of the Father! So there probably is a point in it, after all.
For what it’s worth, you are in my prayers.

I don’t claim to understand, but thank you for sharing, that I may hope to understand so that what you share here, may be a channel of grace to others.

Brutal. Honest. And what I’ve come to expect from you.

I am one of the people who have been praying for you, not knowing what was going on but following the Spirit’s lead. We don’t always get to know the stories behind the prayer need; thank you for revealing parts of it in your gifted style.
