5 things about me.

Keep seeing this thing float about, and wanted to give it a shot. The five things about me are:

I'm awkward - I've always felt awkward due to the fact that my upbringing is different then those around me. My parents are much older than other parents of children I grew up with. Not only that, but being the fact that my parents are immigrants, so I grew up with a lot of my cultural roots, which people tend to think weird. It's something that I use to detest, but have grown to embrace. Because hey, it's a part of who I am.

I'm shy - Granted, I'm less shy now that I'm older, but my shyness still lingers. I like to stick to the background and not interrupt anything going on. Most people hardly notice me in a room, because I choose to be quiet thanks to this shyness, but when something of interests arises as a topic, I find myself not hesistating as much to jump in.

I'm loyal - Granted, this is something kind of bought to my attention as of recently. I'm told by many people that I'm incredibly loyal, mainly because I have the patience to wait and wait and not give up on anyone. I'll wait out in the cold for someone, if it means they'll be okay by the end of the day.

I'm soft-hearted - Another trait I have not realized until quite recently. It can be viewed as a good and bad thing. Good on the aspect of, I'm gentle when it comes to the way I treat situations. I'm not one to jump down someone's throat and run to reason rather than anger. People view that as soft-hearted and it can be a bad thing, because people also see that as a sign of weakness. Granted, I have let people stomp on me before, but only those that I allow. If I don't let you, I won't let you.

I'm sensitive - In a sense, this probably goes hand in hand with soft-hearted, but I'm sensitive when it comes to people's feelings. I have a high level of empathy. Whenever someone is upset, I am upset. I never, ever want anyone to feel down so I always try my best to make people as happy as I can. When I do that, I'm happy I'm able to at least do that much for them. Besides being sensitive to other people's feelings, I can say my own are sensitive as well. I may not show it and I may deny it, but I am heavily effected by words and actions. While I won't show it to their face, I'll go deal with it when I'm alone in my own thoughts.

On top of emotional and feelings of sensitivity, I'm actually quite physically sensitive. I bruise and scar easily and considering the fact I'm pale like my father, those kind of marks show easy and make people question if I been abused or something when in reality, it's just my clumsiness getting in the way. I trip and bump into things quite often, mainly because my head is always in the clouds.
