That's what I heard today. I used to defend myself and tried my best to convince the sayer that I am not. Now i think it all depends on how people define that word. Honestly, being really outgoing isn't my thing. I didn't just keep rumbling and rumbling. I really tried before I said that.
Somtimes I just don't feel like I want to talk in front of a group of people. When you guys keep talking and talking about random stuff, I don't know when to cut in and what to say. This is number one, the way how I lack communication skills.
Number two, I am so tired of talking. I hate to think and think and think before i can or be ready to say something. This situation is worse when the group size grows bigger. But when i don't talk, people assume that i am looking down on them. Isn't that the ultimate annoyance on the planet?
In these few days, I could fully understand what it meant by 'overdoing' something. Maybe the doers don't think they overdid it, maybe the general public regard it as a good and necessary way of interaction. I don't see it that way nonetheless. It annoys me very much when I see such act.
Everyone knows University is supposed to be a place where you can expand your network and embrace the diversity. Ironically, I'd rather prefer the old imprisonment of secondary school than the freedom I have been given now.
I am reinforcing my castle while everyone is preparing for the demolition. My fortress is strong, safe and heavily guarded by soldiers who will never hear my command. |
