One sided people= Boring people
One sided people annoy me. Yeah I said it and yes I let a certain type of person bother me. Maybe because in the past I have been one sided myself. Once I get into something I go at it 100% and push everything else aside. I let it become who I am and it defines me until the point I am exhausted and don't even recognize myself. Life is to short to just have one focus in life. Sure its good to get your workouts in, eat healthy, get good grades in school, volunteer at a non-profit, etc. But in my opinion a well rounded, strong person can fit all of those into life. The more versatile you are and the more active you are in ALL aspects of life the happier, healthier you are. Plus you come across as less annoying. I can only imagine how many times people would roll their eyes at me when I was going on and on about weight loss, working out or school work. It is hard but I try my best to not be so one sided anymore.

Marsha, I was amused by this post because I am exactly the opposite. I always have such a wide variety of interests or at the very least things in the back of my mind that I want to pursue or learn about, so I have always admired people that had the focus and determination to stick with and be interested in a specific topic. I always viewed people that had one interest as being passionate about their subject matter. Whether that focus be a professional cyclist, a doctorate student, or a full-time clown. Would I be bored with that kind of life? Probably. But I have always been impressed with their dedication. It was interesting to see another point of view. It made me realize how I normally view the topic. :)
ReplyDeleteI understand dedication and how hard it is to stay focused. I just find it boring to talk to someone who has a one track mind. I also feel I am short changing myself by not exploring every aspect of life. You know how it is to talk to someone who can only about one thing. Its soooo boring.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! If they can't talk about anything else, the conversation usually goes south fast. :)
