Hello people!!! How’s it going? This is my go to intro when I have nothing else to say😂. Anyways, why should I waste your time right? Let’s just get on with it.
I do not consider myself an extrovert at all. I have stated this in a previous post as well. I feel that right at this moment in my life, I’m getting more introverted by the day. But I agree that I do envy people who are extroverted. It’s good envy. I wanna be like them. Now I know I can’t do that overnight, but one day I hope I can experience some extroverted things. So I decided to write some of them down. Maybe one day, I can come back and read this and see how many things I’ve checked off of this.
Now, I wanna state that I associate the terms spontaneous, quick, socially apt, charming, ability to make friends easily and expressive with extroverts. I may be completely wrong in my assumptions, this is just my view on the topic.
- Spontaneous plans
I am someone who likes a little organisation in everyday life. I like to know what I’ve got to do ahead in the day and I mentally prepare myself like that. It’s not that I follow a super tight schedule, I just like my stuff planned out. So in light of that, I can clearly say that anything spontaneous kinda disrupts things for me. I feel like my plan is going totally out of order. I prefer knowing in advance what I’m gonna do. I sound like someone who’s got a lot of things to do, which is weird, cuz I don’t. It’s just something about sudden plans that doesn’t sit right with me. I am trying to change myself in that way. Try to give myself some me-time so that I can do whatever I feel like. I just hope that I’ll be able to get into the mindset where spontaneous plans actually excite me.
2. Small talk
Yo, I’m terrible at small talk. I’m not the best at it and knowing that there might come a time when I might have to exchange small talk with someone literally scares me. I will do anything to get out of that. Also, I don’t know if extroverted people are good at small talk, but I’m assuming that they are cuz they can literally be comfortable in any social setting. I’m more down for a meaningful conversation. “Hi, hello, what’s going on?” yeh sab nahi hota hai mere se. But now I’ve realised that I don’t think I’ll be able to initiate anything if I don’t engage in a little small talk so I’m trying it out. Right now I’ve realised that a good way to start of or even continue a conversation, is by complementing the other person. Not like a super huge compliment, a little one will do. It could be “I really like your shoes". It brings a friendly element into it and it takes out the awkwardness. This trick seems to have worked the few times I’ve tried it. Let’s see, maybe in the future I may not be the worst at small talks.
3. Back talk.
Back talk isn’t good. I don’t condone it. Don’t go talking back to people. Be nice. Spread kindness okay!! However, I wouldn’t deny it when I say that there are times I just wanna 👊👊👊👊👊 someone verbally. We all have those annoying moments in our lives. But here’s the thing, I can’t really think of something spontaneously to say back at them. I will literally think of something super clever maybe three days later. Some people are really good at it though. You mess with them and you got it good. They will obliterate your entire existence. I wish I could do that. Say something and watch their jaw drop. I haven’t made any progress in this stage cuz, I don’t think this is something I truly want to learn. I wish I could do it, but I’m not keen on it, you know?
Well, that’s a good amount of things I’ve covered in this post. It was fun. It’ll be a good way for me to see how far I’m able to achieve these things or experience them.
I hope you liked what you read. If you’re someone who has experienced all this, please give me some tips. I’d really appreciate that. If you’re like me, I hope you get to do all these things soon. You got this!!! I’ll update y’all on my progress.
That’s pretty much it for now. Thank you for reading this far. I’ll see you another time. Bye!!
