Rec | 1000% TOO MUCH ALL THE TIME

🤪

Rec'd on 📨 the two types of people in life

I am very extroverted and open and will talk to anyone at length about anything. I have a very loud clear voice that carries almost too well. I give too much of myself to too many people too often. I will go to a DJ set alone and be the only person dancing, even sober I don’t feel shame or embarrassment to make a fool of myself. Even in preschool, I would go up to the loner kid and make an effort to include them. People often recognize/remember me from school or a job years later and even if I don’t really recall them, they know who I am in an instant. I used to be more insecure about my too-much-ness but now I accept that I am who I am and have learned to love her. My husband is on the exact opposite end of the spectrum in almost every regard and I think that’s why we work so well together and bring each other so much peace. At the risk of seeming like a pick-me, I have attached this photo is of my short-lived foray into the world ballet that I think says a lot about who am I am and was.

I fear I am you, and - not to take away from your blazing individuality in any way - i have this exact photo of myself in a black tutu in a sea of pink tutus when i was very little. my parents called me “thumpalina” because i never quite mastered the *grace* and *elegance* required to succeed in ballet hahah. you are so cool and i am glad to see it all works out

spud omg that is so adorable hahaha “thempelina” sounds exactly like something my parents would call me, “stinker bell” was their nickname for me because of one of my more ridiculous halloween costumes as a toddler. ty for the kind words truly wish i had a cool girl like u in my ballet class back then to make me feel less alone lol

i know i'm too much.

i'm not insecure about it because a lot can be credited to my upbringing. So people overstep or don't know how to handle, and I've basically got different personas for them. Code-switching, is what it's called? I'm not too little or too much for my loved ones though, because there's no such thing, it's just me!

somehow too much and not enough

I'm always worried I'm not interesting enough. I haven't done enough, I don't know enough, to be funny or to be exciting company. I am not silly enough or energetic enough. But I am also worried that I'm too much. Too demanding, too stubborn, too sarcastic. Too commanding, too talkative, too dismissive. I'm working on it but sometimes it feels that way. I appreciate and like who I am and I am confident. But in those insecure moods it does feel like I'm wrong in all the ways possible, it's not usually one or the other.

But who are you ?

It would be hypocritical from me to say i don’t follow trends, quite the opposite some of them can really be interesting and i “follow” them but i have no desire to fit in. Everyday i embrace my soul, my heart and my mind because it took me years to be the Me of today and as an individual it’s totally normal to be unique in my own way. I am unapologetically myself, no matter how much “trouble” it gets me with people i don’t care. To be put in a box just to fit in or follow the “rules” was never something that i tolerated nor could handle. I value self reliance and resent depending on someone I am selective when it comes to socialising because i prefer being alone than having small talk I question everything to be convinced before i accept it or do it I am assertive, i express my needs, opinions and boundaries even if it means leading to a conflict with someone I dont care about social pressure, i believe anyone can achieve anything at any age I don’t care about approval I am always open to learn new stuff and never afraid to be seen as “uneducated“ during the process I don’t wanna copy. I am me, if i wanna read a kid’a book i will, if i wanna paint a tomato i will, if i wanna learn Russian i will, if i wanna wear a blazer with sweatpants because I think it looks good ON ME i WILL, me is ME and you is YOU. Etc…
