Whereas you ve yet to ask the questions:
The answer is I desire to be with people.
This is probably a need for social recognition, with the intent to
influence those around me, while creating friendships and
personable interactions. I believe that my core is based on a
strong people orientation for I always to seem to be meeting and/or
enjoying the company of others.
I believe I have a good sense of humor. I usually know when to
lighten an awkward or difficult situation, how to amuse and
entertain those around me with laughter (though this could be a
shield), and I use light conversation to keep people focused on the
positive, it is also helpful in identifying those who are not
friendly by nature!
I honestly feel very optimistic and this usually considered
favorably by those around me. My perception is half full, more than
seemingly empty.
When asked, those who know me say that I do have a way of
generating enthusiasm in others and myself often involving many
people who might not be inclined or initially motivated to get
involved.
One of my great strengths is my ability to communicate and converse
readily, of course with that in mind; I admit that I can talk too
much!
Whereas I think of myself as a natural communicator, this is often
enhanced by my willingness to explore conversations about most any
topics, with whoever is present. The most common remark made about
me is that I am a natural salesman, someone who listens attentively
and mirrors back that which is spoken into me. I believe this why I
am generally perceived as likeable and approachable, someone who is
very sociable in my own assertive and straight forward style.
It is within this style that I seem to be more capable of showing
empathy towards the needs and feelings of others, and this draws
people to me. Often, even those who do not share my religious
convictions, nor my desire for full disclosure, seem to be able to
look beyond what they are afraid of within me, and seek to engage
me anyway!
I see myself as:
Enthusiastic about activities and involvements. Somewhat diplomatic
with most every kind of person. I trust that I am a good citizen as
well as socially poised and people oriented. I am morally inclined
to do the right thing, without being presupposed to having a ready
excuse when I fail and/or willingly do what s wrong.
I see myself as a friend, lover, confidant and soul mate!
Maybe not everyone likes me, but I do try to learn to like
everybody. myspace.com/edwordjr
