I Am Who I Am And Nobody Can Change That

Taking the personality test was a new and meaningful experience. It was fun discovering new things and learning about which personality type I was and what type of person I am based on someone else' perspective. I've always known that I was a social person, but contrary to what people perceive me as I am, I believe that not all people what my true personality is. Since I was a child, I've always loved hanging out in a crowd or being engulf in activities that involved talking and socializing.Having people talk to me and enjoy my company makes me at ease, it makes me feel wanted and calm. I loved talking animatedly, narrating stories to others or simple talking about the latest trends or jokes.


According to https://www.16personalities.com/esfj-personality, a person with an ESFJ type is someone who is social and popular with the crowd simply speaking -a social butterfly. People who share the ESFJ personality type are, for lack of a better word, popular – which makes sense, given that it is also a very common personality type, making up twelve percent of the population. In high school, ESFJs are the cheerleaders and the quarterbacks, setting the tone, taking the spotlight and leading their teams forward to victory and fame. Later in life, ESFJs continue to enjoy supporting their friends and loved ones, organizing social gatherings and doing their best to make sure everyone is happy. ESFJs are altruists, and they take seriously their responsibility to help and to do the right thing. They love to be of service, enjoying any role that allows them to participate in a meaningful way, so long as they know that they are valued and appreciated.


Supportive and outgoing, ESFJs can always be spotted at a party – they’re the ones finding time to chat and laugh with everyone! But their devotion goes further than just breezing through because they have to. ESFJs truly enjoy hearing about their friends’ relationships and activities, remembering little details and always standing ready to talk things out with warmth and sensitivity. If things aren’t going right, or there’s tension in the room, ESFJs pick up on it and to try to restore harmony and stability to the group.


I love that the results say things that I already know and understand. But despite being someone who is social and understanding, I know that I also have weaknesses behind the things that make me stronger. While the results say that I am a very loyal person who strives hard with every responsibility handed to her and is good at connecting others, I know that I still lack on some department. While I'm easy to get along with, I know I'm also somewhat sensitive to what others think of me. Although I'm not vocal about it, I sometimes think if I'm good enough to be someone else's friend or if I'm too much of a bother. Sometimes, I know that I'm too stubborn to come out of my comfort zone. I hold too much on my beliefs that maybe I forget to improvise or look at alternatives, and this leads me to conflict with other people. I'm scared of saying what I want to say because of the fear that people might not understand me and think indifferently of me. And while the society sees me as someone who is very open and accepting to all things, I know that deep inside I'm still very shy of doing so many things.


But as I start to grow up, I think bit by bit, I'm starting to think that I should learn to do things on my own now. I'm starting to accept that not all people would accept me as who I am because we come form different ethnics and have different beliefs. But despite all of the criticisms that I may get in the future, I want to say that I won't care. Because even if the whole world says indifferent things about me and looks at me otherwise, I know there would be people who would accept me.


I know that I have so many things to improve, so much more to learn, and so many things to accept. But I want the world to know that I will never change for them. I am who I am, and I won't follow standards that would only erase who I really am.
