So I just wanted to write down some stray thoughts of mine before they go away, 'poof' into the seas of electrical activity.
Was actually on the topic of personalities, which i believed, was super popular back in the old days. And I realised that my personality actually shifted. I didn't wanna use the word 'change' so that was what i previously thought. Then i realised it wasn't the best choice to use the word 'change' as I don't really think one's personality could've changed per se. Let's take extravertedness for example. I was an E then, and now i'm an I. When you look at this situation from a spectrum point of view, my personality didn't change. I used to gather energy from people more than i do from myself, but now i energised myself by spending time alone. This shift could be due to extraneous factors like my living environment etc. That definitely doesn't mean my personality changed, but rather shifted on a spectrum.
Well who knows, I might shift back when i'm back in SG, which seems like the case cause i don't spend much time alone. That said, I still do need my time alone, which is probably why I always feel so drained after a holiday back home.
However, this just leads me to my point that MB is an indicator of your personality (good or bad you decide), but it definitely does not define who you are as a person, and especially not how you should react. For me, it feels like finally, someone has put what I've been feeling into words and that someone understands me.
I have always believed in the saying that "You are who you react". The way you manage situations tell people the type of person you are, in particular stressful/ emotional situations. We could say that some actions could have been excused because they are in emotional distress and therefore acted out of their usual self and then out of line. But how about the fact that they may be just revealing a side of them that no one ever knew existed?
And this, is the beauty of human creatures on Earth. Their complex nature, the suspicious and curious nature of the human brain and the ever dark, unfathomable hearts.
