You're So Introverted!
3:00 PM
I like when I’ve come across unfamiliar words, It puts me into a research mode to learn as much as I can in a single setting and expand on it when I have the chance. So lets just dive into this; I believe that I’m an Introvert: a person predominantly concerned with their own thoughts and feelings rather than with external things. In fact, I know for sure that this is who I am. Every bit of definitions I’ve come across has been relatable to me. Like its exciting to be honest, I didn’t know there were a word for the way I am, then again I should’ve known.
I’ve been like this for a while, always lost in my thoughts, thinking of the bigger pictures. Admiring the small details that seems to bang loudly every time I don’t address it. So while in my research, I landed on a Huffington Post article and immediately felt connected to it after the brief reading. There are other people out there that does what I do, how weird huh? The article went on to say what makes a person introverted and nearly everything had a check next to it. I don’t think I’m done searching the web for this interesting discovery so I do look forward and learning more as life continues.
(side-note)
I have this friend who spoke of a term I had to once again, conduct research on… “wallflower”. Someone with an introverted personality type, but who still seeks out and partakes in social events on a fairly regular basis. They are often socially competent enough to be liked and to attend group gatherings, but may choose or feel the need to blend in and remain silent. She was telling me who it described the way she is and she was absolutely right. During classes, I would observe her ways and question it because she was incredibly beautiful and very attractive young lady. She has no problems being apart of social groups and participating, but when she does, she’ll always feel alone, silent in the front. Like no one there will ever get her, even if she misleads them on.
So then I started thinking (but I think all the time) what if an introverted person dated a wallflower person; how would it be? Both tend to thrive in silence; for instance, I tend to come off as a wise person because I’m always thinking and know how to put my words together in order to convey my thoughts and ideas. So whenever I’m in a conversation with someone, I really do skip the small talk and go straight for their soul. “What do you want out of life? \ Are you satisfied with you position?” And other questions among that line. And from there, their mind would decide that I was “acceptable” and that they should continue to speak with me on occasions. But back to my original thought… I think a wallflower person with an introverted one would make for an interesting chemistry. If you really want to be with someone, you’ll put in all your energy to make it happen right? But then this wouldn’t have much to do with the person being a wallflower or introverted right? Well, that is why it's a side-note folks.
