bittersweet. chocolate?

Friday, August 22, 2014
Im introverted. When Im around a big group of people, I recede to the backdrop and take in every word people speak of. At the end of the day, I feel so tired in a big group, often taking deliberate efforts to make small talk; I feel so drained, I just wanna return back home. My friends define Introverts as people who loses energy in a group. Yes. But my few rare extroverted friends, they make the world go round. They are defined as people who gain energy in a group. They crack jokes, talk about every thing under the sun, and all awkwardness dissipates! They are Awesome, arent they? :)
Im fortunate to have a very cohesive and diplomatic gesl group to work with in NIE. Hearing unpleasant stories from my friends, I am very contented to have my own group. A group of nice people. A group leader who even volunteered to drive us to visit the children's home. :)
Im very happy to be reunited with my secondary school Greeny Friend Qingyun! Somehow, we lost contact after graduation from secondary school. Since JC to Uni till now, its been 6 years that we lost contact but right now, we begin to hang out together all over again! Yet, both of us avoid the fact that we promised each other in secondary 4 that we would travel together in 2013. QY even put an alarm/ timer in her phone to take note of this event in the future of 2013, back then in the AVA ROOM during Math lesson under Ng KaePheng in 2007. HAHAHA. Such innocence :p and My awesome memory. QY said my memory is very good too!  But it never materialized. Its bittersweet!  Last Tuesday, she picked me up at my void deck and drove me to school! and she knew all the shortcuts and nooks and corners on campus she was my tour guide! HAHA. From her, I also learnt that Carline is currently studying in NTU. hmmm... I thought she had already begun work. I pondered for so long in my mind, but I could not bring myself to tell QY "Lets meet her for lunch together one day!". I guess, I am not prepared. I think I wouldnt know where to begin with when I see her. I saw Louisa eating at Macs today, too. She is so feminine and pretty now! All grown up. Haha. People change. I wonder how I am in QY's eyes, after 6 years. I shall write her a note someday, and ask her about it.

Hey,
Rj here.

Read your post and wanted to recommend this book to you, "The Introvert Advantage, How to Thrive in An Extrovert World." . It helps you to understand and provide ways to adjust.

Take HumanMetrics.com Jung Typology Test as well to find out which type of Introvert you are. Not sure if NIE training does this things but I wanted to help.

There is a small section in the book, "Innie with Innie, just Us two Against the World", which describes our Situation I guess. It helped me understand and accept it.

Real Sorry for the Trouble I caused you.

I am working in sales now and am striving for Personal Development. I picked up the book to discover how I can change to fit in, just need time to adjust.

Hope to read on other posts that you are doing well. Best of luck for the days ahead.
