Oh hey there!  You favourite inconsistent introvert on tumblr is back for her yearly much anticipated post.

This past week was ‘happiness week’ at work.  One of the  first events organized by the company was a discussion about personality types, where we were split in several small groups to discuss this theme. Lovely – great start.

This got me thinking about personality test.  It has been years since I took the online personality test and decided to re-take it.  I was quite surprised to see ISFP-T on my results screen.  Until now, I have always considered myself to be an INFJ-T, based on a previous result from years ago.

From what I can gather, I am an Adventurer.

I change during the course of a day. I wake and I’m one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I’m somebody else.

Accurate.  Very accurate.  
I literally feel like I change as soon as I step out of the house, my car, work etc…

Strengths: Charming, Sensitive to Others, Imaginative, Passionate, Curious, Artistic.

Weaknesses: Fiercely Independent, Unpredictable, Easily Stressed, Overly Competitive, Fluctuating Self-Esteem.

On. Point. 

I have decided to skip over the friendships, relationships, parenthood results – which I would be happy to go over and elaborate on another time (I can probably dedicate another post or two - in a year’s time? - about this.

When it comes to workplace, the workplace,

the position that feels most unnatural to Adventurers is management. They are not a domineering personality type, and take no joy in exerting control over others, planning long-term goals, or disciplining unsatisfactory behavior.

I have been working in a managerial role for the past year.  
Building a team from scratch, providing ongoing training, setting goals, delegating work… it has not been plain sailing and has been overly stressful at times.  

This being said, I am  grateful that I was given this opportunity as it has taught me A LOT.

Conclusion: Whether it is finding (or keeping) a partner, reaching dazzling heights on the career ladder, or learning to plan ahead, Adventurers need to put in a conscious effort to develop their weaker traits and additional skills.

I will leave it at that, as it once again scarily on point.

I would LOVE to hear from you!

The last time I logged into this account was around 2 years ago.
My life has changed SO much… let’s just say my life is much more in order now.

Sadly, during the past couple of weeks we have been all been effected by Covid-19.  I am working from home and am staying inside pretty much all the time.

So how did I end up back here?

ALL.OF.THE.ABOVE.

What has not changed during these 2 years, is that I am still an Introvert.
However, I am not quite sure I can relate to all these memes/ quotes.

While yes, I am more of indoors kind of person and staying at home for days does not seem like a bad idea after all, I LOVE, NEED and MISS my alone time.  Don’t get me wrong, I love my family - they’re my whole wide world.

BUT… Is anyone finding this whole thing somehow exhausting and getting some time alone has become merely impossible?

How I feel about small talk…

 Thanks for sharing! :)

Hello fellow introverts!

It’s time to hear from you ☺

Wanna share your story of introversion / share your experiences?
Message me & I will post your story / experience (anonymously, if you’d like)! 

Can’t wait for the day when people stop asking me these questions!

How about… no drama?!

“Sometimes, life is fucking hard. It’s unforgivable and ruthless. I know it’s not supposed to be easy, but I can’t help but to think about the what if’s. What if my life could somehow change into something else? What if people who used to be close to me came back? What if. What if. What if.

Destructive and intrusive thoughts keep me awake at night. My mind replays the past over and over and over again. Places I wish I could go back to. People I wish to talk to again. Memories to drown myself in. Moments as a teenager, whether good or bad, to find solace again. What if I could revisit those times? What would I do? What if. What if. What if.

Sometimes I wish I could talk to those I still love. Old friends. Old lovers. Distant family. I still care about people who’ve done me wrong. It must be the way that I’m wired because I still care about all those who’ve entered and left my life. What if I could talk to them again? What would I say? What would they say? What if. What if. What if.”

Tumblr is the sanctuary of every introvert on earth, you just can’t prouve me wrong.

“Help me understand you,” he says. “I don’t know what’s going through your mind.”

I wish you did. But I’m not willing to lay down my life for that. For the only way you could ever truly understand, is to cut me up into pieces, then take them one by one, and slide them underneath a microscope. I would beg you to look through the lens, but would you dare to wield the knife?

i think quiet folks are often the best people you’ll ever find. they always seem unassuming, demure, uninteresting even — but if you dig deep enough into the soil, you’ll find the treasure buried underneath. quiet people don’t need to be loud, they don’t need lights and action and noise to prop them up. they’re waiting to be found, like diamonds in the rough, and they’ll shine through the cracks if you give them a chance. quiet people are the best.

Hello people of Tumblr, today I will offer you a focus on my MBTI personality profile.

Soooo,

I a couple days I will be meeting my childhood best friend (I was going to marry him) for the first time in 8 and a half years; I haven’t spoken to him in 8 and a half year either. I am not good at peopling to begin with, so what do I dooooo??!?

When I was a teenager, I attended a 3-day event in a foreign city. 

While the other attendees of the group I traveled with got in touch with people immediately, I didn’t and felt terribly lonely and like the odd one out. On the 2nd day, I was so anxious and depressed that I needed to see a doctor. 

When I told the doc about my problem, she raised her eyebrows and asked, “Why are you lonely? You’re surrounded by thousands of people!" 

She didn’t understand that you can feel lonely in a crowd as well. 

 Any fellow introverts out there who can relate?
