Know Your Own Personality, Love Your Personality. ( I'm an Introvert )

What is personality? My definition of personality is very simple. Personality refers to individual differences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. Before you can define who you are, you have to understand your personality. Many people struggling to understand their own personality. So am i. 

I didn't realize i am an introvert until my very close friend shared his personality types - introvert, with me. Wanting to know more about introvert personality, i began to research. I didn't do the Myers-Briggs test, however i went to looked up the signs or traits of an introvert. Most of these common traits are found in me. I discovered that i am an introvert! 

What are those signs and traits found in me ? 

1. I love parties. I may sometimes enjoyed going to parties. But I'm not as excited like extrovert when meet new people. I would rather spend time with people I already know and feel comfortable around. 

2. I'm not a talkative person. My husband loves to talk. He can talk for hours! 

3. I will need to recharging and gaining back my energy through alone time whenever i start to get tired, and unresponsive after been active for too long. So, i will be fine if you give me half an hour to have my quiet moment. 

4. I can watch people for hours – with no conversation. I observe what they're doing and learn from it - in a good way. 


5. I am better at communicating in writing than a person. Sometimes. 



Long before i know i'm an introvert, i have always thought that i am different from others. Different and weird. At one point, i really hate myself  because i don't understand my own personality. These personality caused many people misunderstood about me. But after done few research on introverts I have come to understand my introversion and now, learning to appreciate it much more. I began to accept, to love, and even embrace myself. 


Each person has a unique personality. Find yours now. When you understand yourself, then you will be able to love yourself. 


As for me, introversion is a gift. The differences that makes us beautiful. 




Blessings & love,
Mary
