And I thought the Introvert Sweater provided privacy!
At first glance I took this for a desk accessory of some sort. Little did I know, it’s a sensory deprivation chamber!
Worries about maintaining adequate oxygen levels aside, I’d like to spend a few minutes meditating in here. At the very least it would make an interesting conversation piece when friends and family visit, only to find a giant skull in the corner.
I am a card-carrying Introvert, so these woolly suits from a French detergent advertising campaign made me smile. For some reason, I find them far more appealing than the Laptop Body Sock that made the blog rounds last year.
Wiki has a decent brief summary of the typical Introvert:
Introversion is “the state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in one’s own mental life”. Introverts tend to be low-key, deliberate, and relatively less engaged in social situations. They often take pleasure in solitary activities such as reading, writing, drawing, watching movies, and using computers. The archetypal artist, writer, sculptor, composer and inventor are all highly introverted. An introverted person is likely to enjoy time spent alone and find less reward in time spent with large groups of people (although they tend to enjoy interactions with close friends). They prefer to concentrate on a single activity at a time and like to observe situations before they participate.
Introversion is not the same as shyness. Introverts choose solitary over social activities by preference, whereas shy people avoid social encounters out of fear.
An introvert is energized when alone. Introverts tend to “fade” when with people and can easily become overstimulated with too many others around. Introverts tend to think before speaking.
AMEN.
