<p>I guess given how I"ve structured my life, etc. wrt my community, if someone were to “lift an eyebrow” at me if I’m at a conference halfway around the world, I would have no clue whatsoever – and therefore their lifted eyebrows mean nothing. That’s the benefit of being more introverted. You just don’t need to be aware of whether other people not directly concerned “approve” or disapprove.</p>
<p>You know the threads we’ve had about showing up in the grocery store or Starbucks in sweats? Those of you on the one side have always talked about - but I don’t care if the other people in the grocery store don’t think I’m Miss-Put-Together all the time. That’s their problem, not mine. That’s kind of how I feel on this issue. I do recognize that I’m privileged enough to be able to put into place the kind of childcare help where I didn’t need to rely on neighbors (as in the driving-in-the-rain example).</p>
