In my 21 years of existence here in our world, I feel like I've encountered all types of people but I guess still not. Maybe when I've finished my studies and got a job but I don't want to work or simply says, with a boss. XD Honestly, I don't want to be dictated by someone. Don't get me wrong, you can guide me and teach me but not to the point that all my actions are dictated. Aside from that, don't act that you know everything, because you don't. (I feel like I'm talking to my future boss XD)
Here are the three types of people that I've encountered (mostly in my college).
Aggressive
This type of person is fine but too much aggression is not. Sometimes we are so aggressive in something and it tends to make us set aside the good things we must do so we can achieve what we desire which is bad. This type of person sometimes is bossy, while speaking or having an argument it tends to raise the voices. Also, they act like a superior.
A scenario where you are having a conversation with your friends and you suddenly feel mad about what they say, so you have to raise your voice to counter them or depend on yourself. I have this friend that always acts like a boss as she asks me to do something even though she is doing nothing. How nice, right?
Assertive
This type of person is my favorite, I guess. They are confident whatever they do, what they wear or what they say. I hope I can be like that too but nah, nevermind. An assertive person is a good leader. How? A type of person like this is willing to listen to others, they can tell what they want without hurting them as they are talking calmly and positively. But we all know, overconfidence is not good. You will be like a boastful one. Acting like you know everything, because of your too much confidence you are being complacent which is not good.
A scenario where you are having a discussion with your groupmates, the leader is assertive. She's asking everyone about their opinions or suggestions and they critique it one by one. All ideas are being accepted.
Submissive
This type of person can be the super kind one. I hate this type of person! Why? Because they are submissive as I've said. They just follow all the things that someone asked them to do, like they are robots! I hope you are not forever like this.
A scenario where someone told you, "do this, do that" and you are just saying "yes, yes sure, no problem". It is so annoying. Come on, why can't you say no?! Don't let other people abuse you! Learn to say NO! (wow, coming from me?) XD
What type of person am I?
Sometimes these types can be found in one person, it is like being a different person everyday but the truth is it is just one person with different personalities.
I think it can be me. Sometimes I'm aggressive, when I'm having an argument with my siblings I tend to shout so she will shut her mouth but it's not effective to her, I always lose in our fight XD. I can be an assertive as I'm willing to listen to everyone opinions or in both parties that having argument, talking calmly (not all the time), and submissive(that's why there are times that I hate myself XD), I have this friend that always asked me to buy things for her, to accompany her when she will go somewhere because there are no other friends available, yeah, I am just an option. I really can't say no when we are close. Tsk. I hate it because she is abusing me.
I know, we all know that all of us have encountered different types of people. And we will continue to meet other people as long as we live in this world.
How about you? What type of person are you?
dziefem's note:
Stay away from those toxic people. Stay positive, but not in covid! XD
The opinions, suggestions and questions are welcome! If you want to teach me, I will be glad and appreciate it. I'm willing to learn, just be careful of using words because not all of us have the same perceptions. I hope you understand my point, if not, I can't do anything about it. No Hate. Just Love.
Thank you for reading! :)
