I am an INTROVERT!

Are an out-going person? or the shy type?

What is Introvert? Extrovert?


According to About, An introvert is not simply a person who is shy. In fact, being shy has little to do with being an introvert! Shyness has an element of apprehension, nervousness and anxiety, and while an introvert may also be shy, introversion itself is not shyness. Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people.

According to Wikipedia, Extrovert is "the act, state, or habit of being predominantly concerned with and obtaining gratification from what is outside the self". Extroverts tend to enjoy human interactions and to be enthusiastic, talkative, assertive, and gregarious. They take pleasure in activities that involve large social gatherings, such as parties, community activities, public demonstrations, and business or political groups. Politics, teaching, sales, managing, brokering are fields that favor extroversion. An extroverted person is likely to enjoy time spent with people and find less reward in time spent alone. They enjoy risk-taking and often show leadership abilities.

Learn more about Introvert. Here are some points to know, these are according to the studies of Laurie Pawlik-Kielen :

• Introverts process their emotions, thoughts, and observations internally. They can be social people, but reveal less about themselves than extroverts do. Introverts are more private, and less public. Introverts need time to think before responding to a situation, and develop their ideas by reflecting privately. Introverts' personality traits can be passionate, but not usually aggressive.

Introverts can focus their attention more readily and for longer periods of time, and they aren't easily swayed by other people's opinions.

• These introverts enjoy talking and listening to people, and going to parties and events. But most introverts would rather be at home. Introverts can find small talk easy but tiring – and sometimes boring. They'd rather have meaningful conversations about the depths of human souls and minds, but find few opportunities (those aren't your usual conversations at water coolers or dinner parties!).

An introvert's personality traits aren't necessarily tentative or hesitant, but introverts do prefer to think before they act. When introverts are ready they take action!

• To recharge their batteries introverts need to be alone reading, daydreaming, painting, or gardening – any solo activity fills them up again. This doesn't mean introverts have to live alone in a cave in the hills or on Walden Pond; they just need quiet time to come back to themselves. The energy source for introverts is from within.
• Introverts' personality traits include increased blood flow in the frontal lobes, anterior thalamus, and other regions associated with remembering events, making plans, and problem-solving.
• Introverts don't necessarily have a fear of intimacy – but they can be more difficult to get to know than an outgoing, friendly extrovert. Dating and relationships for introverts can be challenging.

I am more likely an Introvert than Extrovert. I am out-going but I'm easily get tired. I enjoy seeing people play without joining the group. I am an athletic person but I'm a bit aloft of socializing to others. I am a good communicator to my friends that are close to me( of course!) rather than to others or even to acquaintances. I don't like being the center of attention because its giving me the creeps and hard look of others. I love reading or listening to music rather than partying outside(but I sometimes party when I want to! :laugh:), I more likely a home buddy. I rarely open any of my thoughts, ideas and observations but when I like to talk about it, I reflect and arrange my thoughts and words before blurting it out. Dating and being in the relationship is quite good for me and it's very challenging to be in it.

Here are some points to learn about an Extrovert:

• Extroverts are very comfortable in groups, and may be even happier as the center of attention. Traditional extroverts' personality traits are self-confident, enthusiastic, gregarious, friendly, and outgoing. Extroverts love crowds: the more people around, the better life is! Extroverts like public demonstrations, community events, and other large social gatherings.
• Extroverts are interested in what's happening outside themselves: their surroundings, people, noises. Extroverts don't tend to enjoy spending time alone, and they get their energy from other people. A significant extroverted personality trait is that energy flows outward (not inward like the introvert).
• A circular effect may occur: extroverts communicate well and enjoy being with people, which leads them to seek social situations. Extroverts' personality traits include honing their social skills, which leads to more enjoyment of group activities! The opposite effect may happen with introverts who may not have strong communication skills, making them uncomfortable with people. Thus introverts avoid social situations.
• Extroverts have more brain activity in the posterior thalamus and posterior insula. These parts of the brain are associated with sensory input. Touch, smell, sight, taste, and sounds seem to have more impact on extroverts than introverts.

Be a Creative Saver

Here are a few great ways to save up for your future and become good stewards of your resources.

• Automatic Savings- if you can arrange this with your employer or local bank, you can ask them to regularly set aside a certain amount of your monthly salary for your savings.

• Save your Raise- if your company gives you a raise, allot that additional amount to your savings account and live within your old paycheck.
  

• Keep Paying Loans After The loans are Paid off- keep sending the same amount, not to the creditors but to your savings.

• Hold On to Unexpected Cash-Keep this in your savings account- not in your wallet- because all wallets have invisible holes and money kept in them has been known to vanish within 24 hours.

• Give up Expensive Habits- Imagine what you will save in one year if you give up smoking, buying, Lotto tickets, eating an extra sweet snack.

• Sell Assets- You'll be freer if you sell clutter in your home--stuff that you no longer use! Liquidate. Get rid of the stuff.

Be Inventive savers.

New Year's Revelation

What is Trust? What is Respect?

How does one earn both aspects?

hmmmm...let's me tell you something that I've really learn from my experience.

Totally shocking and disrespectful. :(

Before going further, let's define trust and respect.

Trust is a relationship of reliance. A trusted party is presumed to seek to fulfill policies, ethical codes, law and their previous promises.

Trust does not need to involve belief in the good character, vices, or morals of the other party. Persons engaged in a criminal activity usually trust each other to some extent. Also trust does not need to include an action that you and the other party are mutually engaged in. Trust is aprediction of reliance on an action, based on what a party knows about the other party. Trust is a statement about what is otherwise unknown -- for example, because it is far away, cannot be verified, or is in the future. (source:wikipedia)

Respect is esteem for, or a sense of the worth or excellence of, a person, a personal quality, ability, or a manifestation of a personal quality or ability. It is sometimes, but should not be, confused with loyalty or fear for a person. (source: wikipedia)

These aspects in life are best by earning them truthfully. Both are commonly come together. Respecting is considering one's feeling, thoughts, wishes, needs, ideas and preference into considerations. Trusting is a feeling that is being held upon by feelings or thoughts that naturally true and worthy. Respect always comes first, then followed by Trust.

The family is weary because of the weather(raining). Yet, the young couples(teenagers) weren't sleeping, they spent their trip as a romantic tour. After a long trip, they stop for a lunch at the nearby Cafeteria. Then, off again to their destination, only a short while now before arriving. They were tired, so they decided to rest awhile and make they're visiting tomorrow.

So after a day or two. New Year's Day has arrived. Before going anywhere, they went to his uncle's house to bring some food. Then, they went around the place to visit his relatives and friends. As the afternoon breaks, they went to the school near the house of his grandma and went looking around the grounds.
