Curiousity II
"I am neither clever or having any special talent. I am only very very curious" - Albert Einstein
These quote rings a bell. It shows what a curious person can achieve by simply just being curious. Imagine a great man with a Noble prize in physics say that he isn't special! That's says a lot but then no one ever heard that Sir Albert Einstein ever broke a radio just to see what's in there like i did😂 or tried peeping through a car window to see who's in there or check a room to see where the strange sounds are coming from or get thrilled and want to give something a go when the word don't is mentioned or asked questions so much and termed nosy. This is because curiousity itself have types. Yeah actually five types!
Joyous Exploration
This type of curiousity focus on the desire to seek out new knowledge and experiences as this act brings in joy and happiness. If you seek after situations that changes your views about life and the world, like travelling to see new places or find unfamiliar knowledge interesting and fun, You fall into this category.
Deprivation Sensitivity -
This is just the opposite of the previous. This kind of curiousity comes with a burden sensation of anxiety and panic pondering about complex problems and doing all it takes to find solutions to this problems. If you seek answers to questions bigger than you, if you spend hours on one single problem and don' rest until you find a solution, if you feel frustrated when you don't find a solution and work even harder to get things done. You fall into this category!
Stress Tolerance -
I never knew this is also a curiousity type but while making my research i discovered it is. This focus on the curiouser's ability to absorb in the sense that being able to handle the anxiety, doubts, confusion, and distress while being curious. If the smallest doubts, fear, makes one stop seeking for new experiences.
Thrill seeking -
This type of curiousity focus on those capable of taking physical, social and financial risks inorder to acquire intense or complex experiences. If risk taking brings excitement to you, or if you like doing things that are a bit scary, or if you prefer friends that are unpredictable. You are in this category.
Social curiousity -
A socially curious person is one that wants to know what people are thinking, doing or what they feel about a particular thing or person and what makes them tick. They do this by having conversations and listening. Those who fall into this category are often referred to as nosy while they're just being curious and care.
By now I believe it's seen that curiousity is not a talent or a skill. It's something that everyone do. The only difference is that some people are more curious than others. I've discovered that Curiousity is a very broad topic; It's amazing how curiousity affects our daily lives(how it contributes to our success, happiness, anger, pain etc) As I research some more, I'll definitely write an article on it
Curiosity is a good trait. Let's fan it to flames. Let's be curious!.
