Day 1: Describe your Personality
30 Days Writing Challenge
I am an ambivert who loves to be kind to people and help them in any way possible. I have been a big-time introvert all through my life, and that changed because I started reading and working out. These two things have made a lot of difference in my life.
Generally, I have observed that I make a good first impression when I meet someone new. I try my best to make the other person comfortable unless the other person is a huge extrovert which is something that makes me uncomfortable. They have so much energy and are generally so loud that it kind of intimidates me.
I can approach people more confidently now, though sometimes it takes courage, depending on whether it's a girl or not. I was always a shy person when it came to girls, probably because of my parent’s opinion on how I should stay away from girls and focus on my studies. My mom always advised me to stay away from girls and focus on my career first.
I think this is the reason I had a hard time conversing with them. Now, my awkwardness during conversation is directly proportional to how much I'm attracted to the girl.
Overthinking is my forte. I think a lot! To the point where sometimes even my being aware of the thoughts doesn't make much difference. But, I have become pretty good at observing thoughts and not taking them seriously.
People pleasing is also one of my unwanted hobbies. I struggle to say no to people but I’m glad that at least I’m aware of this affliction.
I joke around a lot when I’m with friends, jokes mostly being dark. Again, depends on how comfortable I am with the people I'm with. Dark humor is LOVE.
I am extremely sensitive and suffer from a lot of insecurities pertaining to my self-worth. Although I am working towards it, there is still a long way to go. A whole lot of childhood incidents and memories are a part of this but accepting is the way to go.
I think I am an amusing person! Sometimes the thoughts in my head make me laugh at the most serious and bizarre situations. I love to spend time by myself and go on walks alone. Love to observe people around me, and watch them go through their lives.
Playing the piano is my escape from this reality. I travel to another dimension whenever I play. Music has always been something very close to me. I can also play Ukulele and Guitar but the Piano is the closest to my heart.
That is all I can think of, though I can write a lot more about myself but that won’t come under the umbrella of personality maybe.
I’m just glad I started with this 30-day challenge!
