Common misconceptions and fallacies

Outgoing People Problems

That you're unintelligent

A lot of people have this schema of loud outgoing females. You see a girl with a big personality who talks at (granted) a rather high decibel and often you assume that she is "ditsy" or unintelligent. That notion is a fallacy. I like to talk, trust me I am aware of that fact. That does not mean, however, that I am not also aware of many other facts or that I am incapable of an intelligent debate or discussion.

That you need attention

I found this explination of extroverts and introverts:




So yes, while I may draw my energy from the outer world and interpersonal relationships, that does not mean i am intrapersonally inept or that I need others to define my happiness. I love talking with others and hearing about their days or experiences. I believe I can learn more about the world by experiencing secondhand the views that other people hold. So yes, as this chart says, I value a breadth of experience. That does not mean I don't see the value of myself without another or that I am in need of attention, that again is a fallacy.

Everyone assumes you're flirting.

I come on 110% be you male, female, a cute kitty at a party, or a stranger at the grocery. Just because I come on strong does not mean I am coming onto you. While I can initiate a conversation with you or can carry on a conversation with you for a while that does not mean I want to marry you. Although I would for sure put a ring on this kitty:


When People assume since you're always happy so that you are therefore immune to getting your feelings hurt.

Just because you haven't really seen me get sad does not mean I am incapable of that. Nor does that give you an excuse to say things to me you wouldn't usually say to others, just because you assume I'll keep smiling. You know what they say about people who assume... (if you dont google it haha). You should also know what the golden rule is, cause I feel like a lot of people have forgotten that pre-k lesson.

Some think you're really annoying.

I'm a lot and I know that. Like I said earlier, 110%. But it's better to be 110% what makes you happy than 80% what makes you happy just to please others.

You're just too awesomeI honestly love being an extrovert, and being able to walk in a room alone and socialize and meet new people and make new friends. I am proud of the fact that I have my own voice and can speak for myself or others who cant do the same. I feel confident that I could move somewhere where I knew no one and I would get along just fine. While I may be a lot sometimes, I'm myself all the time and I have no problem with that.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
