My Experience With My Personality

I feel that my public image is that I am a really timid and quiet. People tell me I look serious all of the time. I don't like talking about myself. I find myself struggling when it comes to taking to others

When I was little, I was very shy around new people. I usually only showed who I actually was around my family. I didn’t have a friend who I could be myself around, they were usually just friends who I would play with at recess. That was until everything changed, and I moved across the town of Derby.

I see myself as a kind and understanding person. I also believe I can be very welcoming in a public setting. For example, I am a greeter at my church in the nursery when the parent come and sign their kids into class. Sometimes I can be a bit shy but when I need to be I can be a very pleasant person to be around, such as when I am at church and I have to be very welcoming and talkative.

Above all, I would like to think that others see me as easily approachable. I love interacting with people, and I am always interested in having conversations. I want to be the type of person who is there to listen when needed. I strive to be an individual who is regarded as open-minded, inclusive, and trustworthy. My friends describe me as easy-going, and I enjoy making people laugh. I smile often

I like to see myself as a outgoing person. I ́m a really nice person but like everyone else

My entire life, I have been very introverted. I can be a leader when called upon but I tend to feel most comfortable when I am given instructions on what is to be done. For many years I played softball, and after a lot of practice, I was the starting catcher on my team. The majority of my time catching, my

Honestly for most of my life I've never been the most outgoing person in the world. I suppose a stranger would've called me reserved, but I knew that deep down inside that I had the ability to not be “that shy girl”.In time it did turn out I did have that I did have the ability not to be so quiet but it did take me quite a while; one experience in particular did in a way force me to come out of my shell.

I have a positive attitude with my surrounding classmates and professors. I have a personality that is laid back. What I mean by laid back is that I am quiet and shy until I get to know another person very well where I can

In this week, I learned that a lot of my classmates or the people that my classmates talk about in there primary task, have different communication styles. Amanda Headly mentioned a communication style that I can relate to and that is passive style. I will sometime let other people say anything to me and I don't say nothing back. Sometime I feel the things that they say to be disrespectful or hart my feelings do not need a response back, so I just go on about my day. In Rosemary Arline primary task, she mentioned different communication as well and the one that I can relate to is assertive style. When I have something very important or a sensitive matter to discuss, I rather discuss it face to face to that individual. Sarah Tucker comment on

I have a big personality. I am very talkative especially when my mom and I are driving home from one of my activities. Most people say I’m understanding as they talk to me about hardships or problems that I help them solve. I also like to make people laugh mostly

From a young age, I was never one to be shy. I believed that everyone was my friend and since then I have come to understand that I build a relationship with most everyone. You could say that people are my forte. What I lack, can always be countered by my connection with people. Throughout my lifetime, I have met many individuals with no two alike through volunteering, being a part of groups and working. These differences, whether it be race, gender, culture, beliefs or experiences, have given me opportunities develop a person. My philosophy is that the best way to acquire new information is to be open to others beliefs, opinions, ideas and knowledge. It is through the exchange of these that you can learn and grow as an individual.

As I have gotten older, some of the introversion has faded to a certain extent, but it is still present. Through my job as a Special Education Teacher, I have had to overcome a majority of my introversion so I can effectively do my job. On any given day, I will have to speak to not only my students but also the office staff, coworkers, and possibly some of the children’s parents. Conversation goes both ways, so to be successful at my job; I would have to be willing to be open and communicate with others more. I also have to realize that I need to make the first step sometimes. Not everyone is going to come to me; there are times I am going to have to go to others.

I have to admit that I was skeptical in completing the personality profile. I thought, “How could a few questions determine everything about my management style”. When I received my results, I was astonished at how accurately those results portrayed my personality. While deciding which of my personality traits were advantageous and which were detrimental to my management style, I became conflicted as all of my scores can be portrayed as both positive and negative depending on the situation.

I was not always a social and outgoing individual and I considered myself unlucky in life. I never stood out and did not have enough confidence to attempt to

In this class, I’m learning quite a bit about listening. I’m learning how to listen and communicate better with people, especially when the things I’m listening to and talking about are more on the sensitive side of topics. I’ve always been a very closed off person, even from friends and family. I️ would have a hard time expressing my thoughts and emotions verbally and would get upset with people when they would try to pry. Friends and family would get angry with me when I️ wouldn’t talk or wouldn’t listen to them when all they were really doing was trying to help me. Very frequently when out in public it’s easy to observe this same kind of people or behavior. There are many more people out in the world with poor listening and communicating skills than you may think. For instance, those who get flustered when discussing certain topics whether it’s at the store or a coffee shop. If you like people watching, then you know what I’m talking about.
