I learned/realized a lot about myself after I had a talk with a friend. She told me that after two years of living with me, these are the things that she has learned about me.
- I like to keep to myself. I like my personal space, physically and mentally (not entirely sure what she meant by this). I think basically she means I don’t like it when people are clingy with me.
- When I’m frustrated/angry at people/things, I tend to bottle it in. But it’s totally obvious that something’s wrong because my attitude changes.
- It’s hard to get to know me because I put up walls.
And some things I realized about myself:
- I used to think that I had so much patience with people, but I guess maybe I don’t really..?? I think I just don’t have patience with people who are making poor choices and just being plain dumb.
- I don’t know how to get to know other people. I’m not very good at talking, but I think I’m good at listening..
——-
Sigh. I think I am just frustrated right now because I thought I knew what type of person I was, but now I really don’t know anymore.. I mean, I know what kind of a person I’d like to be - patient, compassionate, empathetic, observant/aware, etc. etc..
I’m just wondering, but how do you perceive me?
