Hello myLotters. Some people are more creative than others. Some can run a long distance while others can't. Some have very high IQ like Albert Einstein, the Wright brothers and Alexander Grahambell. Those things that what make our lives interesting. So, why can't my friends accept my personality as a quiet person??

You said your friends? Well, if they can't accept your personality, then they simply are not really your friend. People are made up so very different from eachother. This is what makes us all unique and different individuals. For any person to not accept something about another person being different, is dis-respectful and they are not a true friend in my opinion. You will find people who no matter what will always accept you.

Not all my friends can't accept it. Only a few of them can't accept who I am. One of them is close to me. She's don't accept who I am not from the beginning but recently. Since a few days back she started to be mad at me cause I'm not like what she want.

If thats the situation then I don't find her a friend of yours because if she is your friend really then that means she knows you and will accept you for everything that you will do, think and your personality :)

Now you too are like your friend...,you can't accept the fact that your friend don't like your behavior. But i can't say that it is the problem with you or your friend,but it is like that. some behaves like that and some behaves opposite.In fact,both are good.A friend who think that you are not good actually molds you ,he wants you to be perfect ,so he insists you to change. And the other one is one who is ready to accept you as you itself. Anyway your friend is one who wants to make you perfect,actually she is directing you in the right direction.So please don't leave her because she is your best friend.....

I'm posting this question is not because I can't accept her. My aim is to gain opinion of others about those who sometimes can't accept what we are. I hope you understand my aim here.

provided they are real friends then maybe it is how we take into account what they say about us. maybe it is we, ourselves, who can't accept what they're saying and doesn't like to prove that they are wrong.

Well that's not their flaw but limitation. They feel they will lose once they have a silent friend. I guess you also have to improve yourself even a bit to earn their acceptance. It takes effort on both sides.

It really depends on what characteristics you are looking at. Some characteristics are innate and can never be changed. However, there are a lot of other characteristics that can be moulded through practice. In this case, IQ is something that cannot be changed. However, being introvert or quiet is something that you can change as long as you are willing to make the effort to socialise more.
