I wasn't being a snob... or insecure... I was just quiet.<br /><br />If you want to freak people out.... just be quiet. Most people can't handle it. Our society is so used to noise that all kinds of assumptions start getting tossed around when you don't embrace the extroverts role.Slash Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02096920897770754079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438036278060044394.post-37645756562724727102009-11-14T18:10:16.325-05:002009-11-14T18:10:16.325-05:00I too relate to this.

Repeatedy I have been told I intimidate people and seem SO confident or, worse, seem like a snob. These descriptions of me have taught me HOW to feel more confident, how to use these qualities I can barely identify to better express myself and reach goals. Hopefully, it hasn't ACTUALLY turned me into a snob...It has also taught me remind myself when I feel intimidated that I am not seeing the whole picture, person, personality - just a piece, a slice, a side. 51%I/49%E - KristinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438036278060044394.post-87585231273328215132009-11-14T14:14:11.025-05:002009-11-14T14:14:11.025-05:00I thought I was the only one who scored equally as...I thought I was the only one who scored equally as introverted-extroverted on the Meyers-Briggs test. I could relate to everything you sad. When I was in school the kids labeled me as a pretentious snob, because at times my shyness would keep me from talking to people, yet they did not believe I was shy because at times, in the right group or situation I was very comfortable being the center of attention. I didn't know this was a common trait amongst us creative sorts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
