Hello, beautiful people! Welcome to my blog. It's a pleasure to have you in this space. Once again, welcome 🤗
Personality can be said to be some unique combination of our character traits, behaviors, thoughts, and feelings that define our identity.
Our personalities define how people see, feel, or perceive us. Our personalities are largely defined by our environment, culture, genetics, and experience gotten from life.
If there's one personality trait a lot of people are usually surprised to know about me, it is that I am not a quiet person. I am not usually one to bring up conversation or engage myself in conversation that doesn't concern me, even though on many occasions I usually have something to say. I only engage in conversations when I am with people I know and am very comfortable with.
However, to those whom I am not close to, I may come across as an introvert who doesn't like talking but listens to other people.
I remember one time we traveled to the village, so when one of my aunts came to greet us, she overheard me and my cousin gisting and laughing, and she was surprised to see me talking, and to her she said, The only time she usually hears me talk is when I am being asked questions; she has always known me to be a very quiet and reserved person who loves to be on her own and read novels.
I remember laughing at the shock on her face when she kept asking my mom if I had always been like that or if something had changed me.
I understand her shock because many people also have the same perception about me. My responses to people are usually brief, which are always accompanied with a smile. I think that's why a lot of people just assume I'm very quiet.
One time, in the university, a friend called me on the phone, laughing that they were talking about me in their room; apparently, one of our coursemates overheard me talking and laughing on the phone with my cousin and was surprised at how I was laughing out loud and saying 100 words in one second; he couldn't believe I was the one on the phone. I also think a lot of my coursemates were surprised during our final year project defense when they saw how audibly bold I was while defending my project; that was their first time seeing another part of me. The part of me that can talk very well.
To an extent, people's perceptions are not further from the truth; I really do like to keep to myself sometimes, but once I get comfortable with someone, I can be forthcoming and enthusiastic.
THANK YOU FOR READING TO THE END 🤗
