7. Being that person who reads 7 books at any one time cos #yolo I can keep up with 12 different plot lines.

8. Taking up 1000 hobbies like Beekeeping.

9. I took up beekeeping, until a bee got in my damn suit, and stung me in the eyelid. Still got goddamn trauma from it.

Blunt Excuses

Today I asked a girl a question where the answer was more obvious than I realized. She proceeded to become very frustrated and short with me, but eventually she answered my question. Later, I pulled her to the side and explained, “Hey, I get that I was frustrating, and I’m sorry. And I don’t care what you think of me, but next time it would be more helpful if, instead of getting frustrated, if you could just tell me the answer.” Her response was, “Sorry, I am a blunt person, so it can come across as rude.” and, “Well, there are people worse than me out in the ‘real world’. You’re still in college. You have time.’ I agreed that I was sensitive and my heart was to overcome the fear of conflict, which I was doing by speaking with her. She repeated similarly, “there are worse people in the world.” I didn’t realize it at the time, but the reality was, she was using that as an excuse to be rude. There is a difference between being blunt and rude. She could have been blunt without getting frustrated. And just because there are worse people in the world, doesn’t mean she wasn’t in the wrong for her reaction.

In the end, I just want to leave with this:  It may be to your benefit to be able to handle people like her, but don’t get rid of your softness. Become stronger, thicker skinned by being more understanding. Don’t get rid of your sensitive nature. There may be worse people out there than the person you are experiencing now, and maybe the one you are experiencing is a challenge, but overcome them with your gentle nature. They are the weak ones. Not you.

INFP ramblings: voices in my head

I have multiple personalities in my head (the angel, the bitch, the slacker, the diplomat, the cynic...) talking, arguing, giving their unwanted opinions constantly etc and I've always assumed that everyone had a similar situation but I've recently realized that few do (no one that I have spoken to so far)... Is this something typical for an INFP? If anybody relates to this, it would be cool to know your MBTI type (and whatever else that you would care to share ^^).

There is a difference between being blunt and being rude, and just because there are people in the world that are worse doesn't mean that is a good excuse to not self-improve.

Overcome the Lies

[midandmum]

Sometimes I really don't understand how or why people believe in me, but then I rationalize saying,'Oh-they don't know me too well.'

Fears to Overcome

[midandmum]

I know one day these friends will break my heart, one way or another, but I cannot even force myself to push them away. That would hurt even more and sooner.
