this is what my wife calls the time we do things in public. Watch a movie 3 pm. Go to eat 3-4 pm. Lunch is 12 or 1

everything is timed to be the least crowded as possible. As a turtle I will withdraw first to avoid conflict and confrontation but if pushed will become a snapper. 

I arrive early to everything and have my exit planned. Never without my own way home and always alert to uncomfortable situations.

 I recall as a young man when a  preacher in church started pointing out people to stand and tell when they found Jesus. Of course I was gone in a flash being already in the back row and never crossed that threshold again. The life of an introvert is never easy.
