ALERT on johari/nohari
ATTENTION please!
is there anyone currently reading my journal with the name of Rob or Ruadhan?
on my johari [a personality inventory/quiz, mainly positive but a few people have chosen the most negative characteristics they could find in the list of traits to describe me]
someone responded by the name of Rob, and i can't fathom who that would be. refresh my memory?
on my nohari, which is actually supposed to be a listing of flaws/negative qualities, someone named Ruadhan responded.
it's funny because I have so many sides to me, and i realize that when i show a person one side of me, they often assume it's who i am, that i can't contradict myself or display opposing characteristics.
for example, this individual Ruadhan chose these characteristic for my nohari:
intolerant, selfish, cynical, insensitive, smug, overdramatic.
the thing is, i might APPEAR or SOUND like i'm intolerant or smug, but that doesn't mean i actually am. and in different circumstances with different people, i may become the overwhelmingly opposite of intolerant or smug.
i have been told i'm overdramatic, and i don't disagree. however i don't think of myself as being dramatic. i put emotion into my speech and small problems and issues really do cause me pain and irritate me so badly that when i seem i'm making a big deal of nothing, it actually is a big deal, for the moment.
insensitive? i'm appallingly sensitive to my environment, eyes, sense of hunger, and i am disturbed rather easily by injustice or mistreatment around me.
sure i can be insensitive in ways, but so is every human being. i don't think any one person can be utterly sensitive to every being and event around them at any given moment. i am sensitive and insensitive in varying areas of my life. so i think it was surprising that a person would think i was straight-up insensitive. as if i was dull and didn't feel, or had no regard for the feelings of others around me.
dictionary.com definition of insensitive: 'Lacking in sensitivity to the feelings or circumstances of others; unfeeling.'
i'd describe myself as far more on the empathic end of the scale than insensitive, actually.
any response or ideas as to who these people are would be appreciated, thanks!
