What's Wrong With Me?

Nov 26, 2005 22:23

Okay, yes, I chose that title to catch your attention. It worked didn’t it? Not too long ago, a friend of the family, pointed out that I am perhaps too serious-or not fun-loving enough (at least that’s the way I understood some comments). She’s since repented of it, and said a few days ago that’s not true about me ( Read more... )

huh...many people say the same thing about me.

Yes, you're pathetic! :P J/K
If you are, so am I! I'm even more introverted and shy than you are! There is a problem with being OVERLY introverted--like in my case, when sometimes I can't make myself say something to someone when I want to, because I'm too scared of what they think of me, of how I'll say something, or of the other people around.

I don't think you usually have the problem of being scared like I do, though (if ever). You may often be quiet, but it doesn't seem to be because you are struggling to say what you want. Maybe I'm wrong. ;)

No, I think you are right...at least it seemed like that way when I was there. =) Very fun to be around.....all of you are! :) Your family is just too awesome. :D

Yeah, my struggling to say what I want happens when I'm talking! =DD Too true.

I think there is only something wrong with being serious if you are incapable of enjoying being serious. If being serious isn't fun to you, then it's probably the wrong way to go.

That's an interesting perspective.

In theory, it's possible, though, to be discontent with your personality because you want to be like someone else that you were never intended to be like; or, vice versa, you can be content and enjoy your seriousness to some extent even if you are preoccupied with self.

Precisely, whether you are serious or not, and whether you enjoy seriousness or not is definitely no indication of where one's heart is.

I think one needs to always strive to be friendly and down-to-earth with people, which I think introverts find harder to accomplish naturally because of their serious nature... However, you seem to have a pretty nice balance of friendly humor and thoughtfulness, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks for sharing your ideas, and thank you for the complement. =)

My personality has seemingly evolved somewhat, so I wonder what it'll be in five/ten years. *wonders*
