There is nothing wrong with being yourself :)

In my psychology class we are doing a debate on nature vs. nurture for personality! So we have been talking much of different kinds of personalities and temperaments! So naturally introverted vs. extroverted has come up in conversation! Now I am a very introverted person and all my life I have thought that it was a negative thing to be introverted. Not only did I tell myself that, but the world around me also told me that being an introvert is a bad thing. People would make comments like "you are too quiet", "You should talk more" and things like that. Television usually mocks the quiet, shy characters on a show. Being surrounded by all of this really made me ashamed for being who I was. It is my temperament and it is very difficult, almost impossible to change that. But what I finally realized, is that being introverted is not a bad thing at all. Just like being a extrovert is not bad either. It is just the way we were made, whether you believe it is through your biological makeup or through the way you were raised. I am this way because God made me this way and I am not going to push myself to be something I am not. I am finally at peace with who I am and you should be too :) Don't be afraid to let your true colors shine :)
