Hermit Crab character

Hermit crabs are often misunderstood. As I am keeping some hermit crabs now, I have been reading about them and wondered if I kept them because we are very similar. Hermit crabs like to stay in their shell and sometimes, for days, can keep to themselves. Yet, they enjoy company and can be sociable.

Recently, one of my hermit crabs died. The other one was alone and kept to himself all the time. I decided to find him some companions and bought 3 other crabs to keep him company. After introducing 3 of his friends to the crabitat, he started to come out of his hut and began to show off his climbing skills. I can hear the crabs sing as well.

I am like the hermit crabs because I, too, can stay on my own for a long time. Yet, most people do not associate me with being shy or unsociable, since I can make friends with people easily. Yet, I rest best on my own and out of 7 days, I need 1 full day by myself.

I am like the hermit crab. But, what about you? What animal would you use to describe yourself and how are you like the animal? I think I am going to use this question as an ice-breaker question in my cell group next time. So, cell group members who read this blog, be prepared :- )
