Ok, finally got around to changing the introduction text. But as you can see, I'm too sianz to write a proper one, so am going to blabber on in hopes that you will get an idea of what sort of person I am by guessing. Yeah, the format of this blog is crap. I haven't got around to fixing it. Later lah.. Much later...
In a corporate environment, I feel as if I'm being perceived as being "less of" by being an introvert. I can feel e perception that introversion is a bad thing. Knowing & sensing e desire for me to change, I feel uncomfortable in my skin; as if I am 'wrong' - a flawed personality to be corrected.
I try - but it bothers me. What's wrong with being an introvert? Does e world only need extroverts? It's not as if I don't talk at all. I just don't talk when I have nothing to say.
Is that so wrong? That I can't keep quiet when I have nothing to say? Should I be asking questions I have no interest in knowing e answers for? That I be pushing inputs and opinions that I don't really believe in? All for a tiresome facade - for what purpose & towards what end?
How do I express it.. I feel strength in being genuine. I like smiling because I can't help it. To listen to others with eyes wide open because I think their story captivates me. To feel e laughter bubbling up because it's real. I feel strength in it, and being something I'm not makes me feel dead.
