Sunday night I went to a concert with my sister. Although the artist is slightly irrelevant I shall share it with you anyways. We went to a Taylor Swift concert. Now, my sister and I don't get along. To provide context I'm going to share with you a part of a conversation I overheard her having before we left (and this was completely by accident). I think she was on the phone but who she was talking to is also irrelevant, either way I only heard her side of the conversation.
Her: "I'm going the Taylor Swift concert with Erica tonight"
Person on the phone: *I can only assume made some comment about having fun*
Her: "Ya, it should be fun unless she annoys me"
And that really irritated me. I hadn't done anything to her at that point but she already was counting on the fact that somehow I was going to ruin her night. Overall the concert was fantastic, one of the best I've been to in fact. But I think that the one comment my sister made before we left really set the tone for the night. It probably would have been different if I hadn't heard her, but I feel like it darkened the mood a little. This is probably also partially my fault. She was probably just talking and not expecting to be overheard (and in my defense I really wasn't trying to hear her) but our personalities are all slightly different and we interpret things differently. I'm a little bit over sensitive and I accept that.
In fact, today was part of "Clubs Days" at school. While walking around from booth to booth I found a few clubs to join like the Psych Student Union, the Skeptics Society, a DFTBA club and even an Introvert Society. (I think I joined the last one more out of the fact that I found the concept of an Introvert Society ironic). But in order to join the Introvert Society you had to do a personality test. More specifically the Briggs Myers personality test. According to said test I am INFJ (which I did know before hand).
Based on this my personality (likewise the personality of any INFJ individual) is "traditional, original and sensitive. Tend to stick to things until they are done. Extremely intuitive about people and concerned for their feelings. Well-developed value systems which they strictly adhere to. Well-respected for their perseverance in doing the right thing. Likely to be individualistic, rather than leading or following."
I do agree with some of that, mainly the sensitive and concerned for people's feelings. I'll put other people first to a fault. I'm kind of a doormat like that. Anyways I have class tomorrow and should be sleeping or studying.
