Observations (#8)
The difference between an ear and an eye, obviously, is that one listens and the other observes. Both retain different information, and have a different perspective of situations going on.
I’d have to say I’m a little bit like both, only because I observe and listen rather than speaking out and taking action. If I had to choose between one though, I’d probably choose being more like an eye, since my sight is what I use more. I’m constantly observing my surroundings, looking into everything I see when I walk in a room. I’d rather observe what’s going on around me, instead of getting involved myself. I hate being in social situations, and would definitely enjoy sitting out and observing what’s happening much better. Other than observing my surroundings, I enjoy observing the people I interact with as well. It helps me understand them better, and make sure I don’t say something wrong when talking to them.
I wouldn’t say that being a silent person is a bad thing, but sometimes it has some disadvantages. For example, if I’m struggling with something in one of my classes, (it would most likely be math) I observe the lesson and what we’re learning, but I don’t ask questions if something confuses me. Then I get even more confused as we go on, which is frustrating. I sometimes wish I was more like a mouth or something more extroverted, as it would probably make social situations for me a lot better. I don’t fully wish for that to happen though, because I actually enjoy the silence of my life. It’s more comfortable, for me atleast.
