Selfless
I am a selfless person. I am someone who has a servant heart and always puts others before myself. I know that I am an introvert, and have done several personalty tests over the years. I am an advocate. I always want to do what is right and what is best during situations, it also leads me to having a strong sense of responsibility and an intensive listener. All of which are rare these days to find qualities in someone like this. There a lot of good and a lot hard things being someone who has these qualities.
You go way out of your way to much that you expect the same amount in return. The hardest part is people are not going to give back what you do in return. So it only leads to disappointment and frustration. I've had to learn to be humble to myself, and not take it so personally. When it involves thinking of yourself every once in a while, people think your being selfish. you shouldn't have to explain yourself either. one of my greatest attributes is mentor-ship.
Being an empathetic means you feel everything. you know when people are being fake and you see deep into situations and emotions. It's draining. I have a natural ability to relate to people on a personal level. I want real relationships. I hate small talk and I get to know people rather quickly. The only down side is that when you lose relationships, you lose everything you invested in that person. It's rather difficult for me recover from that. But I'm learning to be more careful in who I invest in. you do have to protect your own heart as well.
Words. I want to express this for a sec- words DO matter. words can either speak life or death into someone. i know sometimes it's hard to hold back when you have something to say, and it involves hurting someone. but I was told once that when I speak, you listen. I may not speak as much, but when I do, everything I say matters. I chose my words carefully. it sometimes takes me longer to process what I want to say, hence introvert brain you got a million things going on in your head, that I feel like I stumble my words sometimes. so, keep that in mind.
I may not have chosen a career as a counselor, but God has used me rather well over the years. whether it's in missions, friendships, work, other things to mentor people. I have a lot of life experience at such a young age, that I understand people's point of view. being a listener means you listen to understand, not to reply. i never used to be a verbal processor, but talking things out has been so helpful to me too. There is one thing that I have learned the hard way - you need people who can mentor you!! You can't help others if you are not in a healthy place personally, emotionally and spiritually. People will take advantage of you and it becomes so draining, and i didn't realize what was happening at the time. I've become a lot more self aware of that, and mentor those who ask and I know need my prayers and words.
I can tell you that it's so important to learn these things about yourself. what are your greatest attributes and how can God use them to further His kingdom. the better you know yourself the more of a whole person you become. Seek healing and emotional health. Being selfless means I work extremely hard at everything I do. - my love languages are quality time and words of affirmation. I love to spend time with people on a one on one basis and will make time for you. but I also need to hear it too. tell me you appreciate what I do, or things you like, communication!!
I wanted to explain this a little better, since introverts are so often misunderstood, hard to read and is hard to express their feelings.
