Being born with a (cute, curved) shell on your back doesn’t always means you will turn out to be an introvert.
But it is a pretty safe bet.
That shell can just look too tempting, feel too comforting.
And comfort is great, for sure. But it can also be isolating.
Especially when there are microscopic marauders on the loose and you get afraid to go out, to see and be seen, to socialize.
While sometimes it can be scary to put yourself out there, even shelled (and non-shelled) introverts need a friend sometimes.
Luckily, being born with a shell also means you are automatically very cute.
And if there is one thing that attracts eager new friends like nothing else, it is “cuteness.”
