It’s no secret that there are many different kinds of personalities under the sun. The extrovert vs the introvert maybe one of the biggest distinguishing traits.
When you start to detect these personalities in yourself, it makes for a very interesting game. It’s like one of those “don’t think of an elephant right now” kind of things. You start to wonder if you are that personality or if you think you are so you become that but really aren’t – a confusing game to say the least.
This evening, personality is on my mind because I’ve once again found myself in a position where I should be A. concerned or B. better planned.
I leave to go to a conference tomorrow morning leaving on a plane at 6:30 AM. I haven’t been on a plane in probably six years, and I’ve never been to a conference. I have no clue how I’m getting from the airport to the hotel and I don’t know what I’m going to do in the 9 hours I have between my arrival in the city and the time of the conference. I don’t know what my gate number is, I don’t know what part of the airport it’s in. I don’t even know if some of the stuff I’m taking is allowed on flights.
For the most part, these are all things that I could easily access and find the answers to online, but somehow, not even out of laziness, just out of general disinterest, I’d rather play it by ear.
Most people who were as unfamiliar with flight life and conference life would probably be planning much more or be panicked because they weren’t planned. In fact, I feel like I should be concerned…but I’m not.
All this to say, there are definitely different personalities. I’ve chosen to embrace mine and accept the consequences. I’ll report back later if it’s been worth it.
