Turtle People are those who are constantly and continuously involved in their pet projects.
Their interpersonal skills are at ground zero because their projects is the place where they have found as a place to hide from facing other people.
Do they enjoy their projects? Are they good at what they do?
Of course! Because their projects is all they do. Their projects do not disagree with them, and they have comfort in knowing that this is the place where they feel important as well as the place where they are in total control and away from people.
Away from their projects, however, Turtle People are uncomfortable, for they feel naked and vulnerable in the presence of people. They are at center stage, all alone, and the spotlight is on them.
Turtle People will marry a spouse who will either "father" them or "mother" them because they are incapable of making adult decisions. They will never discuss their feelings, their viewpoints, their opinions, for they have surrendered their authority to their spouse who speaks for them.
Emotionally, Turtle People are still as young children, for they have never matured. Internally, they live like a child, they think like a child, and their minds are mechanical or robotic; for they do not think for themselves. Instead, they rely on their spouses to think for them as well as to make decisions. For as a child, they are not supposed to think, nor to make decisions, in the presence of adults.
In marriage, the adult spouse becomes both the mother as well as the father to their children because the Turtle is not capable of making simple decisions for children because he doesn't want to do that; for he would rather have his head stuck in one of his projects.
The favorite characters of Turtle People include Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, or comical characters, or animated programs for children.
Turtle People do not perform well in team sports because they do not consider themselves to be part of a team. Their interpersonal skills have never developed to the adult level because of their self-imposed isolation and insulation in their pet projects. As a team member, they feel naked and vulnerable because they are now expected to contribute to the team effort while they are playing as an individual: which is playing like a child, who is hanging out with adults.
In summary, the relationship of Turtle People is with their projects and not with people, perhaps caused from a traumatic experience as a child: and in a child's mind they are locked, even as they live in an adult body.
As Christians, how are we supposed to deal with Turtle People?
This is a difficult question and the answer is perhaps just as difficult.
The only solution I can offer is to treat them with love, pray for them, and let God do that which I am incapable of doing, for Turtle People have a difficult time of putting away childish things.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. (I Corinthians 13: 11)
