As a woman who finds her energy in tranquility and introspection, I have always been struck by the way human beings interact with their environment. The fact that we all have completely different personalities makes us special, don't you think?
Today's topic is precisely about this: Are you confident and extroverted or shy and reserved? Explain both cases and also how that aspect of your personality has benefited or harmed you in your adult life.
I am a firm believer that our personality is defined from childhood. For as long as I can remember, I have been introverted, the opposite of my siblings. This was often a problem, as I thought there was something wrong with me because of my difficulty socializing with other children and adults.
However, I gradually adapted to this at my own pace. I got used to comments like, “Loosen up, you have to talk, don't be shy,” which made me isolate myself even more as a child. But hey! It's not all negative. I chose my friends wisely, and like everything else, opposites attract, so we complemented each other perfectly.
Today, I understand that it's not wrong to be introverted. We all enter this world. And if diversity exists, then our way of being is also included. So, we don't change for someone else or because we want to fit in and be an extrovert because society dictates it.
I chose a career in healthcare where I have to interact with patients. Ironic, right? But I tend to do it very well, gaining their trust and listening carefully to every ailment and problem that brings them to me.
As long as it doesn't harm us, we can continue to be authentic, and along the way we will find people with whom we feel comfortable. Within every introvert there is a universe waiting to come out with the right people, we just need to listen, as we usually do.
Thank you very much for reading this far, I hope you have an excellent weekend, best regards!
