GETTING TO KNOW YOU
|
Anytime I've taken a personality test (the actual ones, not the ones that circulate the emails and blog memes) I typically come out on the border of introversion/extroversion. It depends on the time of the month, I guess.
I chose a career path where I would be dealing with people all the time. There are times when I think that I really am not cut out for dealing with people. Maybe I'm just too cranky, or I'm just solitary. Maybe I really just couldn't care less. Yet, I think everyone has moments like that. It's being able to push thru all the crap we get from people to really get to know the person themselves.
Every so often I get a reminder that I really am a student of human nature. People fascinate me. I really do have to hold back sometimes because I can be inappropriate with my questions. The problem, as I've said many times, is I dislike small talk. I'm not good at it. I may ask about the weather or how your pets are doing, but if I do, it's because I really am curious. I'm not going to ask because I have nothing better to talk about. On the same note, I'd rather ask about your father who is fighting cancer. I'd rather find out why you are terrified of storms. I'd rather know why your favorite meal is your favorite meal. I'm just curious about people.Labels: deep thoughts |
