blog post #11

I think my personality is very laid back. I enjoy things that i love, music, friends, family. And i want to do things that makes me happy, which is why for a career im going into stuff music related. I'd rather have a career that i'm happy with than one that i'm not. I'm a very: concerned, caring, relaxed, and understanding person. I am however quite impatient, gullable, and stubborn. For my positives traits i think they all our positive because they help with communicating and dealing with people. Whether it be just with friends or with relationships. They are all important traits to deal with people. Obviously, being impatient doesn't help it much though. And being gullable isn't very good either, since sometimes i can believe things that simply aren't true. And stubborn is obviously negative becaue it means i'm not always willing to meet people half-way and sometimes let people get their own way.
I think I am both optimistic and pessimistic. I am optomistic about some things, like mainly plain life things like relationships, and other things with friends and family and things i enjoy. I am pessimistic though when it comes to school, i don't think very positively about doing homework and dealing with tests and the stress of school.
Well, one trait that might change in a different situation is if i'm in a very awkward situation. Or say i'm in a room full of people I don't know. I wouldn't be relaxed anymore, I'd just be uncomftorable. This helps or adapts because it's sort of unsafe to be completely comftorable with strangers, so in a way it makes you wary of them and distances yourself from them. Another trait that would change in a situation is with being impatient. If I was waiting for someone to get me to go somewhere, and they are late, normally I'd be impatient and crabby. But if i had something to occupy my time, like tv or something, than i'd be pretty patient because I'm not thinking about the person being late. This is helpful because with your mind being preoccupied with something else, you can't think of the person being late and it may even seem to take the person shorter to get there if you are doing something.
Well, one example would be whenever I'm wrong about something. I usually try to deny that I'm wrong, or argue so eventually I may become right. So maybe that would be denial? I don't know what else it could be. Another example is when I may get mad at something and take out my anger by yelling at my brother or something. This would be, i believe, displacement? Not that I'm doing anything really bad to my brother, just yelling at him for my frustrations at other things. Those are really the only examples I can think of right now. I'm sure there was more but I really can't think of any right now.

  1. I can definitely relate to you because I am also stubborn and impatient. Sometimes I think my way is the best way, but I'm definitely working on that. Along with you, I enjoy music, family, and friends. Music sometimes helps me to makes sense out of life, or just make it better. I don't know where I'd be without my family and friends because they offer so much support to me.

  2. I'm glad that you are going to pursue something in music because you love it. I don't want to be stuck doing something that doesn't make me happy. I want to do something that makes me personally satisifed. It doesn't matter how much money I make as long as I would want to get up every morning and do that. I am also very pessimistic about school because it can be so stressful.
