People don't care as much about what you say as they care about how you say it.
People don't remember what you said, they remember how you made them feel.
Absolutely spot on..i love these deductions. Being an introvert i can totally relate to your post.
I am not an expert on personalities but i will give you my two cents here. We are what we are.. no matter how hard we try to propel ourselves in different dimensions, our true nature always finds us again..
Believe it or not i was a successful debater in my country and people used to think that since i was an excellent speaker, i must have also been good at socialising.. And they were wrong.
I dont think being an introvert is a problem or a disease for that matter.. the thing that matters is how we find peace.. thats all that matters. M almost 30 and i have had a rather twisted life. I was practically penalized for not socialising. But in the end, i found my peace in my true nature. For me, the balance was never to compensate between two different shades of being introvert and extrovert. The balance was to let go of the elements that my persona abhors and welcome the traits that my soul accepts as they are..
This article is worth a resteem.. great work...
Thanks a lot! I honestly did not expect that. I was wondering if perhaps someone might click on my article, but finding such a long and sincere reply makes my time spent writing really worthwhile.
I hope to explore some other aspects of human personality, behavior and communication in the future. I am constantly learning and just today I had a conversation (face to face) where I was pushed to the limits of my abilities and realized how easy it is for me to treat a discussion as a win-or-lose game.
Maybe it's because Steemit is such a young platform, but what I love about the interactions here is that people do not as much oppose each other, as they try to come up with complementing experiences and points of view. In relation to what I wrote in the article: Communication in this space is easier for me and there is less room for misinterpretation.
Again, thank you for your thoughtful comment and the resteem. I hope to see you around!
