Personality

After I have studying both Human Communication and Psychology for Personal Development, I begin to observe the interaction between human and also things that happen around my world. I found that it is really interesting because it does happen in our real life but we didn’t perceive it. For it happen naturally in our life so we even wouldn’t pay attention and discover it.

I observed for a period and discovered that there are various kind of personalities in every single individual. Mainly, there are two most basic types of personalities which are extroverted personality and introverted personality. For example, my younger brother is an extrovert. He is optimistic and sociable that’s why his friends found that it is easy to get along with him. Besides, his friends also enjoyed to be with him and my brother is sort of “party animal” and can makes good host. He spent most of his time to go out with his friend rather than stays at home. Whenever he got trouble, he preferred turned outward to seek for solution. Moreover, everywhere outside except home is the source for him to gain energy and joy and also to release stresses. There is a merit of him I admires the most which was he is good in maintaining all the relationship of him; which I think that not everyone of us can do well.

Let us talk about the introverted personality, which is extremely contrasts with the one we talk about just now. The second brother of mine fully acquired this personality. He is the kind that more oriented toward his inner thoughts and feelings. He loves to spend his time at home and precious each of his private moments. He doesn’t good in socializes and have few of friends. However, he is more emphasizes on quality not quantity that’s why he doesn’t takes it to heart. It is not easy to get along with him, don’t even talk about intimate friends because he doesn’t trust on others easily. Some others will miscomprehend that he as unfriendly but I know my brother best, it just need to take time and be patient to become his friend.

Some people said that our personalities are descent from our gene whereas others argued that it is influences by environment. I think I will take a neutral stand on this controversial. However, types of personalities need different ways of communication. We must perceive before we initiate a new friendship. We have no problem to get along with those extroverts and have a joke on them; but for those introverts, don’t be hesitate to move the first step. To be honest with you, they are the kind of friends you can 100% trust on them and later you will found them as the best listeners to share your joys and pains. We need to have both types of these friends to balance both of our physical and spiritual health. It is because (in my opinion), friends have become one of our basic “NEEDS” in our life and also source of our happiness.
