I'm An Outgoing Introvert

I love going out, but appreciate time alone.

I'm An Outgoing Introvert
Life Hack

I'm a very outgoing person and I always have been. I've never been shy and always the type to strike conversations with strangers. I have a very open and honest personality and I'm not afraid to embarrass myself or my friends. At the same time though, I am the type of person that would rather spend time alone than engage with a crowd, even though I wouldn't have a problem socializing and having fun, I just like my time alone.

Its true, I don't like big crowds, parties, large get togethers because I am the type of person that likes to spend one on one time with people, or like I said before, time alone. My friends sometimes find it odd that I will deny going out to a party or other social gatherings because they know I'm so outgoing and a fun person to be around. Well the truth is, I just don't like doing that kind of stuff as much as I like putting in a movie and watching it by myself or with a friend.

I'm all about having fun and of course I'm in college, but nine out of ten times I will choose staying in my apartment over going out somewhere with a bunch of people. It doesn't get boring to me, or repetitive, it is just very relaxing and calming. And I like this about me. I like that I can be perfectly content with just myself and I don't feel the need to go out and be around a lot of people.

That's the way I am in general with friendships too. Ever since I was younger I've always been the type to have a few close friends rather than a million friends who aren't really that close to me. I've always had about two or three best friends in my circle, people I could count on no matter what. Still today I have three best friends who I feel completely comfortable with and would rather spend time alone with each of them then going out and hanging out with a bunch of girls who don't really have my best interest in mind.

I like being the type of girl who can have fun with a big crowd because I am, I just choose not to participate most of the time. Most people would say it's "lame" or "uncool" but for the one time I do choose to go out and engage myself with a lot of people I have a genuinely good time and I would rather do that once in a while than get burnt out on it like a lot of people I know do. I could never get burnt out on just spending time with myself though because it is so relaxing and enjoyable. I love being outgoing, but I also really love being introverted in a way.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
