Introvert/Extrovert

Two blog posts in two days? It's almost like I'm prepping for NaNoWriMo or something...

I've always been an introvert. I get my energy from being on my own and recharge from it. Social gatherings stress me out. If you're an introvert too, you'll get it. If not, then you'll just have to imagine. I've always been shy and not at all confident. Over the years, I've obviously learned to be more self assured but I'll never get rid of my introverted personality. I'm a good listener, but not much of a talker. I can take it things about the world and about people because I notice more. Because I'm not always doing a lot of speaking.

I've got some extrovert friends and we'll always have different personalities but we still get on fine. Most of my closest friends are like me though: quieter, not as outspoken and more calm and collected. Both sides have their pros and cons. Extroverts have it easier in life when it comes to meeting new people, job interviews and being successful. That's my opinion anyway. On the extreme end of the scale, they are more arrogant and less caring of others.

Us introverts find those situations a little more trickier. Parties are not quite as fun when you don't put yourself out there as much. Even when I see friends I've not seen for ages, I still have to have a little breather afterwards. Just to clear my head and charge my batteries again. It's not their fault. It's not mine either. It's just the way the world works.

The universe is a strange place, made up of more personalities and traits than one could ever imagine or begin to think about. I'm just glad we can all coexist together in this big, funny world. You can't always judge a book by its cover and that goes for people too. Learn what makes a person tick and how things affect them and when you meet someone new, maybe you can pick up on their point of view and accept them for who they are.
