The Challenges of Being Talkative and Distracted

Written by Nejire hado on Sat Oct 21 2023

Hey there! Nejire here, ready to spill the beans on the trials and tribulations of being talkative and easily distracted. Trust me, it's not as easy breezy as it sounds!

The Gift of Gab

First off, let's talk about my chatterbox tendencies. I have this insatiable urge to strike up conversations with anyone and everyone around me. It doesn't matter if they're a friend or a total stranger – if something catches my eye or piques my interest, you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll be asking questions like nobody's business.

But here's the thing – sometimes people aren't too keen on all that talking. They find it overwhelming or annoying even. And honestly? That used to bother me quite a bit when I first started out at U.A.

Alienation and Acceptance

I quickly realized that my incessant chattering was pushing people away instead of drawing them closer. My enthusiasm for learning about others' unique traits often came across as invasive or rude.

It took some time for me to come to terms with this reality but eventually, I found solace in accepting who I am while also being mindful of how others perceive it.

A World Full of Distractions

Now onto another challenge: staying focused amidst an ocean of distractions! You see, whenever something catches my attention – whether it be an interesting conversation happening nearby or simply a butterfly fluttering by – oh boy do things go downhill from there!

Eyes Wide Shut (Wait...What?)

Being easily distracted is like cruising through life with eyes wide shut (figuratively speaking)! While everyone else seems laser-focused on their tasks at hand, there goes Nejire getting caught up in yet another whimsical wonderland within her mind.

To say this presents its fair share of challenges would be putting it mildly! Imagine trying to concentrate during class lectures while mentally composing haikus about the clouds outside or contemplating the physics of a bouncing ball. It's like my brain has a mind of its own and I'm just along for the ride!

The Art of Balancing

Despite these challenges, I've come to realize that being talkative and easily distracted aren't necessarily bad things. They're part of what makes me who I am – unique quirks that contribute to my overall personality.

But there's also a time and place for everything. Learning how to balance my chattiness with listening skills is crucial in building meaningful connections with others.

Similarly, finding ways to channel my distractibility into productive avenues can actually work wonders in expanding my horizons. For instance, embracing new hobbies or exploring different areas of study allows me to indulge in both curiosity and focus simultaneously.

Embracing Myself

At the end of the day, it's all about accepting myself – flaws and all! Sure, being talkative might make some people uncomfortable at times, but it also allows me to connect deeply with those who appreciate genuine conversations.

And as for distractions? Well, they may knock me off track every now and then but they've also led me down unexpected paths filled with delightful discoveries.

So here's Nejire hado signing off on this journal entry; grateful for her gift of gab while learning how best to navigate through life without getting too lost in her own wonderland!
