Do you ever wonder why you do the things you do, why that manner, what influences your thought process, if you really have control over my actions, why you seem different, if anyone else feels the same way, why why why..so many questions left unanswered.
I remember back then in high school when the new girl finally came up to me to initiate a conversation, as usual she came up and said HI. I happened to be a bit of a pain as I disliked long conversations and usually just tried my best to get out of one ASAP. Unfortunately, she couldn't read between the lines and she kept on talking. She finally asked "I'd love to know you better, could you tell me a bit more about yourself". I stupidly replied "I really do not understand myself also" as usual I wasn't maintaining eye contact and if I remember distinctly I happened to be making a sketch. I could tell she was pissed as she stood up and left rather angrily...now I really didn't mean for that to happen. I was just being extremely honest as I answered the question absentmindedly.
Later that evening I got a precise 1 hour 13 minutes lecture of how messed up in the head I am by my best friend. Talk about weird times XDD. Well...that's it for today's episode of story of my life.
Do you understand your personality and personality type?
Many a time, we hate ourselves for not being something or not living up to something, for being weak or feeling the part, for being soft or just disliking certain aspects of our personality, parts we try so much to change.
Do you get depressed easily, having that feeling there's a void to fill deep down, that gross feeling of having no importance and sadly not being able to find the right words to give a precise explanation as to how you really feel.
2020 has been a crazy year so far, that we can all agree upon.
Having had to help out a lot of friends and close ones who sailed the depression ship, some almost sunk by the way. I can say many people have had it rough this year and have at some point had to find themselves again!
I have, you've probably been there also
Now to the long awaited answer, took me long enough...I know right? However…
If you're searching for the part where I give the precise answer why YOU behave the way you do, I'm sorry to disappoint but you can't find that without putting an effort. Not even reading the entire Socratic dialogues would explain that to you.
To understand yourself, you have to embrace your strengths and acknowledge your weaknesses. As hard as it may seem it's your personality after all
Personality might seem completely random and unique—and in some ways, it is. How you operate is informed by your life experiences, beliefs, relationships, and more. As basic as it may seem I usually advice people to discover their personality type according to the 16 Myers Briggs types either by consulting a trained psychologist or if you haven't got the time, taking the test online.
Determining your Myers-Briggs personality type first requires you to check in with four different aspects of your personality. Do you get your energy from being around other people, or do you prefer to recharge alone? Do you make your decisions with your head or with your heart?
There is a high possibility you've taken the test and are fully aware of your type, if you haven't already done so. Try it, it doesn't take much of your time.
PS: I'm not in any way affiliated
Why don't we call this 'your journey to self discovery' ... remember "it's only by understanding yourself you can understand others"
