I'm Cautious ; Inleo #53
Hello everyone, I hope you are doing very fine and that your day is going very well too.
Temperament is something we should know for ourselves so that we will know how to make decisions for ourselves. We should know if we should change from the way we behave so that we will not have to be seen or treated in a particular way we may not like.
I am a cautious person; I am more reserved, and I am always very slow to adapt to new environments and new people. It took me one and a half weeks to make friends when I was in the camp early this year. I would say that I did not make it, but a friend made it for me. I can be so quiet and not want to talk to anyone at a particular time, maybe because I love observing. I am only free with people that get close to me, and that happens after a very long while.
When I went for camp, I wanted to stay, but something in me was telling me to go back to the house, and my dad was always calling me to tell me to come back to the house. One part of me was told to stay and just experience another new life; another part of me was contemplating if I would be able to cope with the camp activities.
I pulled through, and I have spent six months outside my state, and I will stay for a while.
In camp, people usually thought that I was married because I did not talk to anyone for one and a half weeks, maybe because the new life was not comfortable for me. So many people came to be my friends, and I would only talk to them but did not just want to socialise.
Then one guy met me; his name is Kelvin. I mean, he made the new pay for me. I, who did not want to talk to anyone, started laughing and making friends. Thank God he came around because at some point before he came, people started seeing me as someone they could pick on; they saw me like I could not talk back to anyone or defend myself, but I just opened up and saw the real me. I saw that I could be very bad, and I mean extremely bad. From there, I started working on myself, knowing that if I had the opportunity to strike people, I would strike them so hard.
That taught me to open up and not be too reserved because if I am hurt for too long, it will stay in my heart and become a hole that I may react to in the future, and the people that may suffer from this hurt may be people who have not hurt me before.
Being cautious is good, but I have learned that there are times you need to go out of your shell and just make friends, talk to people, etc.
There are so many things you will learn when you talk to people and when you pick up.
For me, I learn how to forgive and move on by picking up, that is, telling it to their faces that they have hurt me. This will make you free from hurts and bitterness.
I invite @adegold4real, @hively and @oluwaseyiE8
