Why is it always the quiet ones........?
Well speaking as a "quiet one" I would imagine that it is because I am a good listener that people have spent a life time dumping their problems on me. I have carried some big burdens in my life. I am able to help other people because there are few situations in life where I cannot honestly say I have been in your shoes. While I can listen to others, and help others, and be there for others, no one is there for me. When I was a child and went to Bible camp, the counselors cried on my shoulders. I had to help the grown ups even as a child. When I was an adult, I was there for the Chaplains, even, but who was there for me????? Every time my world got knocked out from under me, who was there. It was just fine when I was helping everyone else with the dramas of their world, but when someone like me, the "quiet one" needed someone, who was there? Maybe we have earned our right to be insane.
