"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Are we born Introvert or Stuck Up?

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

No one is born stuck up. People are stuck up due to socialization. Some people may be born with a more introverted temperment, but like i said before, socialization plays the key role.

Yeah I think intorversion, and extraversion for that matter, and stuck upness (narcissism?) are two distinct and separate things. I do think you can be born with the genetics that will favor for introversion and/or being stuck up though.

A person can be born with Avoidant Personality Disorder and can thus be born to become introverted and likewise another person can be born with Narcissistic Personality Disorder and thus be stuck up.

So yeah people can be born to be either one of those.

Normal people who do not carry the bad genetics that create those disorders are born neutral but through socialization, learning and their own genetic makeup they go on to become various types of different personality's.

This is one of best explaination I've seen and I totally agree. A person with genetics to become xyz will become that almost regardless of enviroment. And a genetically neutral person could go either way depending on enviroment. And a person who is strongly genetically positive to not become xzyz never will regardless of enviroment. And another thing is a person's genetics influence how their enviroment react to them. In other words a "negative" genetic quality draws in a reinforces negative from their enviroment.

peoples personalities are influenced by: environment and biology (hereditary factors)

There are different schools of thought on it but the majority of scientists believe that biology does play a big role in our "default" personality but that it can be altered by environment.
