Which Of The 4 Introvert Types Are You?
image via – shutterstock.com
According to scientists, there are four types of introverts. Which type most closely aligns with your personality type? Are you terrified to go out in public, and even thinking about the sound of someone knocking on your door causes you to break out in a cold sweat?
Or are you totally comfortable in social situations, and everyone you know would say you are extroverted, even though you know deep down inside that you are really an introvert? You may not mind being with other people, you might even genuinely enjoy it, but you need your alone time and feel drained when you are around too many people for too long, at the expense of spending time alone?
The four types of introverts are as follows:
The social introvert, who prefers to be alone or in small groups, but not because she is nervous in a larger group. She just prefers it that way.
Next is the anxious introvert, who is similar to the social introvert in that he prefers small groups of familiar people or solitude, but the anxious type steers clear of large groups of strangers out of anxiety, and is often still anxious even when alone.
The contemplative type is introverted because they like to get lost in their own fantasy world, and it is a creative or imaginative introversion that does not result from fear of social situations.
The last type, restrained introversion, could also be referred to as reserved. They like to think before they speak, and often times take a while to get moving on things, including getting up in the morning and getting into their day.
The idea that there are four types of introvert, rather than one blanket category, has come about due to the incongruence between the status quo scientific definition, and how introverts define themselves. Scientists started to notice the inconsistency, and have come up with these four categories to more accurately describe peoples’ actual experience in life.

Everyone Thought THIS Dog Was Guarding Her Humans Gravesite. But Then This Rescuer Discovers an Unthinkable Secret!

A little while back animal lovers across the internet were moved by a sweet photo that went viral. The picture was from Serbia and depicted a german shepherd lying at a grave. Many thought it looked like the dog was grieving for his deceased master. However, something about the photo was not quite how it appeared.
Science has confirmed that dogs can actually feel love for you as they have the intellect equivalent similar to a two-year-old. Since dogs can love, is it possible that the dog was truly mourning? Possibly. There are certainly examples of dogs doing the same thing in history. One animal rescuer was not fully convinced.
Vesna Mihaljoski investigated the grave. Upon arriving, she confirmed that the dog was still at the grave. She looked closer. First, she noticed that the dog was actually in a hole that it had dug beneath the grave. Second, she was actually cuddling a litter of puppies.
The real reason that the dog refused to leave the grave was now clear. She had dug a den to protect her puppies. Luckily, Mihaljoski decided to adopt the mother and her pups. It turns out that the dog wasn’t mourning at all. With that discovery, the story turned from a tragic one into a happy one!

She Uncovers An Ancient Relic On Her Lawn. But She Picks It Up and Realizes It’s Moving!
image via – youtube.com
You never know what you might find when you go digging for buried treasure. Some people have made some truly amazing discoveries over the years and even struck it rich unearthing priceless artifacts. There are many areas known for possibly having buried treasure and hidden relics, and one such place is a town called Bishop’s Stortford in Hertfordshire, England. It was once a Roman settlement and was the location of a historic market, as well as being an evacuation center for British people over the years.
One of the town’s residents, Lynne Garner, owned a sizeable piece of property and from time to time she and her husband would look around for buried treasure. One day they had been digging near a rockpile in the back garden when she spotted something unique looking among the stones. It was a dark brown lump and upon closer inspection they realized it was a tiny little hedgehog!
Hedgehogs are common in the area, but the one they found was not normal looking, which is what threw them off at first. Instead of having a body covered in spines, he was mostly bald and exposed. They rushed him to the local vet, A120 Veterinary Surgery, where doctors diagnosed him as having alopecia. They explained that it had likely been brought on by trauma the poor little guy had suffered in childhood and that a normal hedgehog would usually have around 5,000 spines. The stress from whatever he’d been through caused him to lose his spines and that left him extremely vulnerable to predators and the elements.
Now that Lynne knew what the little animal’s problem was, she set out to help him heal. Thankfully she is a seasoned wildlife rehabilitator, so she brought him back to her center and named him Derek. Other than his spine issue, Derek also had an infected wound on his back from a suspected bird attack. After she treated the wound Lynne needed to find him a temporary home where he could relax, roam freely, and stay warm. It also needed to be escape-proof and a woman named Monique had the perfect spot, her heated and enclosed greenhouse. That would be Derek’s home for the next couple of months or until he’d recovered enough to make it on his own outside.
Besides special living accommodations, Derek also received oil treatments and probiotics to boost his health. Soon his spines had started to grow back and he was much more active and happier. In fact, he managed to re-grow almost all his spines instead of just some as is common in most cases of alopecia! In the end, his swift recovery was nothing short of a miracle and while he may not ever be an outdoor hedgehog, he’ll always have a home with Lynne.

This Is The Surprising Reason Doctors Are Saying If You Cross Your Legs Stop Right NOW!
image via – youtube.com
Did your mother ever used to tell you to sit like a lady and cross your legs? Mine did and even if she hadn’t I would have ended up sitting like that anyways. After all, it’s a comfortable position regardless of whether or not you’re wearing a skirt or dress and need to preserve your modesty.
For many women it’s simply the way that they most often sit and they rarely give it much more thought than that. However, perhaps they should re-think sitting cross-legged because it may be bad for our health and bodies in the long run.
Surprisingly, there are several negative impacts that sitting with one leg draped over the other at the knee may lead to. For starters, it can be really bad for your lower back. That’s because it prevents you from sitting up straight and instead you’re forced to maintain a position that leads to poor posture.
Over time this causes stress and strain on the lower spine and back which can be quite painful and uncomfortable. In addition to back pain, sitting cross-legged at the knee can increase blood pressure. Studies have shown that when people sit cross legged for an extended amount of time, their blood pressure goes up.
This is because the position prevents blood from flowing strong and freely, and more blood is sent back up to your chest area. The resulting increase in blood in your upper body puts strain on the heart which has to pump more of it and that leads to increased blood pressure.
Also, by crossing your legs you can end up pinching the arteries located there which means the blood flow is inhibited and greatly reduced until you uncross them. One positive finding from research done on the topic is that there’s no proof the act of crossing ones legs may end up causing varicose veins.
That is a false and widespread rumor which appears to be believed as true by many people. However, sitting in a lady like fashion may increase the risk for developing a blood clot, especially for those who are predisposed to such medical issues.
So how should you sit? According to doctors and experts the best way to cross your legs is to do so at your feet and ankles, rather than higher up at the thighs. This cuts down on the associated health risks so if you must cross your legs, try to do it that way.
Also, as with any position you sit in, make sure to not do it for any extended period of time. Switch up your legs and get up and move around to get the blood flowing and to prevent it from pooling in any one spot or area in your body.
Stay healthy, stay happy, and make sure others stay the same and pass this along.
Do you still cross your legs?

The FDA Is Now Advising Parents To Immediately Stop Giving THIS Food To Babies!
image via – shutterstock.com
Although there have been serious health concerns about inorganic arsenic found in rice as a whole, and in particular in infant rice cereal, the rice industry has continued to deny the potential dangers. As they have insufficiently lowered the levels of inorganic arsenic in infant rice cereal, which is one of the first solid foods introduced to infants, the Food and Drug Administration have issued serious warnings about severely limiting the amount of this food regularly given to most American babies.
Because infants are so small, they are regularly taking in 3 times the amount of rice most adults consume. This is despite the fact that inorganic arsenic has long been known to be carcinogenic. It is not only dangerous to infants, but to children in utero during pregnancy. In 2016 the FDA concluded from a great deal of evidence, that high exposure to inorganic arsenic during pregnancy, resulted in children having significant developmental and cognitive deficits.
Although traces of inorganic arsenic are found in other foods, such as fruits and vegetables and grains, it seems that the level of absorption in rice makes it far more of a potential health hazard. The FDA recommendations for safe levels of inorganic arsenic in rice cereal (a mainstay of most infant’s diets at around 8 months) is being met at less than one half of the rice cereals still on store shelves.
The video you are about to watch from Consumer Reports, stresses the point that this arsenic level, although somewhat improved in infant cereals still remains unregulated in ready-to-eat cereals consumed by children and adults alike. It is their recommendation, that any rice-based food be severely limited or avoided completely until the FDA strictly meets the levels that will no longer pose such disastrous health risks.
The FDA advises that parents choose oat, barley, and multigrain cereals to avoid arsenic exposure. After watching the video from Consumer Reports

Cop Stumbles Upon THIS Abandon Car Shines His Light Sees The UNTHINKABLE and Jumps Into Action!
image via – youtube.com
Police officers see a lot of things that most people could never even imagine. They get called out to all sorts of emergencies and accidents which means they are often dealing with people who are going through perhaps the worst day of their life. That’s why cops often quickly develop tough exteriors and no nonsense attitudes. They need to be able to stay calm and in control when emotions are running high and people are stressed to the max.
As tough as police officers may be, they are still human, and many join the force because they want to protect and serve by helping others. Such was the case for Leonardo Almeida, ever since he could remember it had been a dream of his to be a cop and after graduating from the police academy it finally came true.
Officer Almeida had been hired by the Taunton Police Department, which is located just outside of Boston, and was assigned the night shift alongside his partner Lieutenant Roderick. It was usually pretty quiet and calm at night and they had been out on routine patrol when they spotted a car parked on the side of the road. Thinking it was likely abandoned, they pulled over to investigate.
Upon approaching the vehicle, the officers saw that there were two adults sleeping in the front seats. They went up to the front passenger side and shone their flashlights in, and that’s when they spotted two young children sleeping in the back seat. It was a heartbreaking sight; the family was obviously homeless and had no option but to sleep in their car on a night that was freezing cold.
The officers woke the family and learned that the young couple had recently lost their house. With nowhere to go, they’d started sleeping in the car and were just trying to get by. After speaking with them, Officer Almeida decided he was going to get the family a warm place to stay, he couldn’t just walk away and leave them in the freezing cold vehicle. After calling several local hotels he found them a room and paid $190 for a two night stay out of his own pocket.
All the while Lieutenant Roderick was looking on. It was part of his job to train, evaluate, and oversee the department’s new hire and when he saw how the rookie handled the situation, he was more than impressed. He knew right then and there that Almeida would be a good cop who would go on to help a lot of people.
The two officers escorted the grateful family to the hotel and then finished off the rest of their shift that night. Before Lieutenant Roderick went to bed, he created a quick post detailing the generous actions of Officer Almeida and what he had done. The heartwarming story quickly went viral and people all over were happy to see how kind and thoughtful he had been towards those who needed it the most.

Mother Is Very Concerned That Her Baby Keeps Vanishing From Her Crib. She Sets Up A Hidden Camera and Caught THIS!
image via – youtube.com
As soon as a parent has a child, the maternal and paternal instincts kick in almost immediately as the safety of their baby becomes the number one priority in their life. Whether it’s a top of the line baby moniter, the best baby seats in the car, safe pacifiers that can’t be choked on and basically baby proofing the entire house and anywhere else their child will be. The constant worry about your child’s safety becomes an everyday struggle that almost all parents face 24/7 365! With all that being said it brings us to today’s story which features a baby Houdini who somehow keeps disappearing from her crib every night!
For a newborn baby infant to a toddler a safe and secure crib is one of the biggest necessities in any household. Not only does the crib provide the ultimate security for the new baby but it also give new parents peace of mind so they can at least get a little bit of rest and sleep at night. Mother Nina and Father Chris of Phoenix, Arizona are two new responsible parents, who have gone through every step to make sure their baby daughter Chloe is safe at all times. For the first 14 months they faced the same challenges most parents do, with having to wake up in the middle of the night to take care of the baby when needed.
Like most parents out there, they were completely exhausted from only getting a few hours of sleep every night, but that was to be expected and they knew it was all par for the course. However when baby Chloe turned 15 months things began to take a very strange turn no one ever could’ve predicted. One morning mom woke up early to prepare breakfast and get some coffee brewing when she thought she heard a strange sound coming from the family room.
She walked into the room half asleep and thought she was hallucinating! She saw baby Chloe on the floor playing with her toys! She was stunned because her husband was still sleeping and she knew that she didn’t pick up baby Chloe from the crib and bring her into the family room. A sense of panic, dread and fear quickly came over mom as she couldn’t understand how this could even be possible…
Nina picked up her baby ran into the bedroom and woke up her husband Chris and told him what happened. He was just as startled as she was, so they went into her room and began to inspect the room to see if anything was out of place, if she could possibly of fallen out of her crib or somehow escaped… Nothing seemed weird or strange and the bed was completely undisturbed. The mystery of how baby Chloe ended up in the family room playing with her toys was only just beginning.
Not only did it seem impossible that she could get over the crib railing, but she wasn’t possibly tall enough to open her door and exit the room! What in the heck was possibly going on here?! They had more questions and literally no answers! They racked their brains and thought maybe they just didn’t close the door all the way and by some fluke she somehow got over the crib railing and headed for her toys. They decided not to make too big a deal out of it and went on with their day as per usual. They figured it was probably only going to happen once and they would make sure everything was secure every night from here on out.
The next night they turned the volume all the way up on the baby monitor just in case anything were to happen again. They secured baby Chloe in bed and made sure nothing was out of place. Within hours after putting their child to bed they heard strange sounds coming from the baby monitor at around midnight. They jumped out of bed ran to her room and to their surprise Chloe was out and about again this time in the hallway running around looking like she was having the best night of her life!
The parents were now starting to freak out, they sat baby Chloe down and straight up asked her how she was escaping her crib and getting out the door. Instead of answering, baby Chloe just giggled, laughed and wouldn’t give them a straight answer! Now this began happening every night and her parents began to go crazy trying to figure out how this was happening and more importantly they were truly worried about Chloe’s safety. The worried parents couldn’t sleep at night anymore because they were so scared during one of Chloe’s escape excursions something tragic was going to happen to her.
They decided to pick up a hidden security baby camera so they could finally get to the bottom of this strange baby Houdini disappearing act that was haunting their world. They went out purchased the camera set it up in the room and then waited to see if the mystery would be revealed! That night again they were woken up by the sound of the baby monitor and Chloe running around have a grand old time. This time though they were prepared as they grabbed the camera and reviewed the footage….
