hello MyLotters and friends, im interested to know how different people with different ways of life and personalities varies in their personal interest(types of musics, arts, .... ), hobbies, ambitions, characters and so on.. just about anything about yourself =) As for myself, im not a very big talker. but i can teach well and communicate logically with people. when meeting with new people, i find i will need a period of time which is longer compare to other people to feel myself more comfortable and is able to communicate at ease. sometimes i find my confidence shaken or intimidated when meeting people of a higher level or who talks fast, interestingly and effectively that i felt speechless and unable to flow along in the conversation but merely just being listener among them. However, i find myself more of a quiet person, but a good listener and thinker. Somehow i enjoy thinking through other's problems and to help them comes up with a solution or how to handle them.. i can say am a bit laid back in life. i prefer the more sentimental, classical, traditional, cultural kind of music which reflects and contains meaning about a person, country, or culture. i love the countryside's way of life and loves to study their cultures as well as their traditions. sometimes, like to feel that i am living in the environment of a completely different culture by listening to musics from other country of which i hardly understands. Hobbies wise, i'd prefer those which are considered not very rough in the game play. such as badminton, table tennis, swimming, hiking... i also enjoys spending quiet time with natures, going to the beach to have a bit of thoughts about life.. and to explore new places.. i love beautiful and cute arts, i can appreciate more of those that are much more logical in features and not so much of weird arts.. such as weird looking statues or designs.. i'd love nature and animal kind of arts.. i also prefer those that contains special meanings or a story in itself either to me or the culture, country or a person.. for an ambition, i've always wanted it to have something to do with animals or natures, which is somehow contrary to what i am studying at the moment.. but studying mathematics at least it is still something that i enjoys doing... though i still hope to get a job that have some kind of adventure and exploring to do with... Well, i'd love to hear out about the rest of you.. just to see if there are any connections between our different characters, personality and the things we enjoys doing or appreciates... as well as to see why different people likes or dislike certain things.. if there are related to our culture? attitudes? characters or personalities? .... you're welcome to let me know if you think that i need to open up a bit more or improve myself in any ways or the way of looking at my life and life itself.. i know i have still a lot to learn about approaching life and people.. cheers ^^

hi there. I wanted to share to you with regards to my personality. Im a type of person on what you see in me is what you get. Im simple and funny by nature. I easily get hurt especially if my love ones are hurt. But theres also somewhat a dark side of me. Im a short tempered person also. If i get mad thats really a major problem, i wont talk to anybody i just want to be alone and think. it takes a couple of days for me not to hate a person...

hello butterline, thank you for sharing.. i believe you are considered the more emotional kind of person yea? i think it reminds me a bit of my ex before.. well.. i think when you mention "What you see is what you get" does it mean that outward appearance and what you wear represents who you are and what you like? when im sad i;d prefer to sit alone and think through the sorrows too.. but after that i will need some friends to share with.. there's a book "Personality Plus" have you read it before? it explains the different personalities in different people and why certain people thinks and reacts in a certain ways... i consider it a good book for understanding people..

Generally, how my personality is really gets determined by the person or the people that I am with at the given time. With my friends and family I tend to be really outgoing and funny, but with some people I don't know, unless they open up to me, I tend to not say as much. There are the exceptions where I meet an outgoing person whom I have several things in common with and I'm able to instantly hit it off and open up to them. If the person I'm meeting is shy though, I pull back some since often outgoing people intimidate those types of people during their first meetings.

Hello Jaluke, thank you for sharing about yourself.. in some ways what you said reflects upon myself.. true that i fit in better with people i share common interest with where i can really get into the heat of the conversation.. hmm.. shy people gets intimidated easily by outgoing people.. i will keep that in mind.. i think thats why sometimes i get intimidated as well.. i will hold back my speech a little when im talking with someone much more shy next time..
