Guadalupe Sanchez Per. 3 Unit One: Introduction to Psychology Does God exist? Everyone has different beliefs There is no way of knowing for sure You need faith in order to believe I also believe that Heaven and Hell exist *Mr. Parsons DOES NOT CARE whether we believe or not.* Hitler was mentally ill! Hitler was spanked by his father.

Maia Regman Mrs. Magnan Biology Honors 5 April 2014 Introversion, Narcissism, Passive Aggression, and Shyness According to personality psychologists, being an introvert or an extrovert is the most important feature of our personality. It determines everything from our choice of friends to how we show love. Within the last century, the meaning of introversion has changed drastically. Introverts? portrayal in media and the general conception has evolved greatly, but misconceptions about introverts are still common. The most widely spread stereotypes of introverts are that they are shy, a narcissist, and/or passive aggressive, which are not true in the least.
