Having An Outgoing Personality With An Anxious Mind

Outgoing people with anxious minds feel things a lot more intensely than most people, the main reason being is that we very seldom talk about our anxiety...and by seldom, I mean never. All of our anxiety is in contrast to our bold personalities. Strangers would have never guess that the lively bubbly person they have been talking to actually has crippling anxiety. This person may often be the life of the party, but inside they are questioning anything and everything.

Mornings can be the worst part of your day...

As soon as you wake up in the morning, the anxiety in your head is telling you "What if," "look at it this way," or "HEY remember what you thought we resolved last night...well let's worry about it some more." This can easily go on all day if you let it and no matter what you try you can't get the little guy in your brain to shut the hell up

Love to be surrounded by people, but isn't afraid to be alone...


We feel the need to be surrounded by happy people because we feed off of their positive energy. But we don't mind being alone because that means that we are free to think of every possible scenario that could go wrong and not be judged for being too introspective.

Even though you have a big personality...


The smallest thing can bring you down, stress you out and make you question everything. Just the thought of these mundane tasks can send us in a downward spiral.

The smallest act of kindness make us melt...


We often get overwhelmed very easily, so the smallest gesture that could make our day or help make life easier is much appreciated. Picking up our favorite Starbucks drink, playing with our hair, or just calling you to see if you need anything will never go unappreciated.

Going to bed could also be the worst part of your day...

Just because our brain is going all hours of the day doesn't mean it stops when you are trying to sleep. It get's to the point where you try and busy yourself during the day to tire our your brain before bed time so you can fall asleep with ease. Sadly no matter how tired you are you always end up going over every single decision that you made that day. Next thing you know it's 2 a.m.

We are our worst critics...


We are often hardest on ourselves, constantly gripped by the feeling that you should be doing something differently. You aren't ever satisfied with yourself and you're constantly trying to better yourself but you can't ever seem to achieve the level of perfection you need to be happy with you.

Because of your outgoing nature, you meet a lot of people...

But you always wonder in the back of your mind if they actually like you or not. In your head you think, "Am I talking too much?" "Wow my voice is so annoying."

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.
