I'm an introvert in disguise. That's what I call myself. Many of those who don't know me well can't believe it when I confess it. I make it look like I'm a gregarious person where in fact I feel socially awkward when I'm around people. It gets ridiculous at times. For instance, I've no idea what to say when someone compliments me on something. I know many take pleasure in compliments. I dread those. Because I fear I'm going to screw up properly responding to them which will devalue what the person has just said. Being an introvert blogger is a hella of a challenge too, believe me.
So all my life I've been trying to fight this and become an assertive extrovert. It looks like my efforts have been rather successful in making others believe it, but the person I haven't managed to deceive yet is me. Three days ago a friend of mine asked me to take a '16 Personalities' test. The results I got made me reconsider whether I should actually bother to change the way I am.
It turns out that I belong to the rarest personality type. Only 3% of people are like me. I'm exceptional. Damn. Instead of being ashamed of myself I should have embraced my uniqueness long ago. It would have spared me of niggling self-doubt and self-criticism.
If you feel there's something wrong with you, the chances are you're mistaken. You don't have to be like everyone else. You're exceptional.
No matter what others might say or make you believe.
