Are you an introvert?

A single misstep, followed by more, could lead one to cynically believe that authentic friendships are but elusive gems, overshadowed by an abundance of fakes.

The Science of Stupid
This is a warning from "The Science of Stupid." "It's hard to imagine anything more terrifying than clinging for dear life to a sheer rock face, 40 feet in the air, frantically searching for any shred of friction. Some may find it spine-chilling, but not scary enough for the intrepid ice climber—a rare breed that fearlessly scales gravity-defying, ice-encrusted cliffs and frozen waterfalls. Ice climbing's feasibility hinges on the remarkable internal structure of ice, but it has its vulnerabilities. Ice comprises hexagonally arranged water molecules that form crystalline structures. While this organized arrangement can support the weight of a climber, as the ice grows, it can create networks of weaker bonds between crystals, especially at the top of an icicle, bearing more weight. Striking a weak point can trigger a fracture that spreads in an instant.
