6 Signs You Have An Authentic Personality That’s Too Real For People To Handle

“Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!” – Dr. Seuss

Some people cannot closely guard their unique personality and strive to be different; however, you must always be true to yourself and be the best version possible. People who behave differently around you may not always despise you, so do not change to please them. The truth may be that they are simply intimidated by your original personality and actually admire you. Everyone has a brain, but to think out of the box and not conforming to meaningless stereotypes is not everyone’s cup of tea.

1. You are brutally honest and straightforward

People do not speak their minds because they are afraid of being judged. You value words. You know very well that if one does not be vocal about one’s needs, they will remain incomplete. Superficiality yields nothing. To express is your right and you are not afraid to speak the truth at all times. Meaningful connections are made if you are honest.

2. Your happiness does not depend on other people

“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.” – Buddha

Each time you put the key to your happiness in someone else’s hand, they will drop it. You do not get into toxic relationships that make you feel drained in the end, but find happiness within yourself.

3. You are not the judgmental kind

“The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence.” ― Jiddu Krishnamurti

You are comfortable in your own skin and this is reason enough to not judge others and feel good in the process. How someone looks, talks or dresses up does not reveal their entire personality. It is easy to assume and jump to wrong conclusions. You know it is best to focus on yourself and to upgrade yourself instead of wasting time judging others.

4. You love to learn new things from different people

“I am a rare species, not a stereotype.” ― Ivan E. Coyote

Once you start celebrating your differences and you spend time with unique people who know different things and learn from them, you are truly living. Society tries to chain down people who have a rare charm or always stand out in a crowd because it fears rebellion. If everyone succumbs to the set rule of things, there is absolutely no difference between us and robots. Constantly expanding the horizon of your mind in the company of talented and extraordinary individuals creates zeal in you; zeal to not be “normal”. As Van Gogh said, “Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk but no flowers grow on it.” Be unique.

5. Small talks irritate you

“We’d rather talk about something meaningful than fill the air with chatter just to hear ourselves make noise.” ― Jenn Granneman

How many times have you seen people involuntarily reply “good” whenever someone asks them how they are doing? It doesn’t matter if they are sad, tired or angry, the words just come to their lips and lack any meaning. These kinds of boring routine questions are bound to irk you as someone who dares to have a real personality. You want to know what a person is actually going through and what he wishes to share. You also want to learn things that are unusual and talk about things outside of the box.

6. Action is of primary importance

With the rise of the internet, people can be whoever they want and say anything in the virtual space without following it in reality. Many people love to say the right things without really backing it up with appropriate action. You keep a safe distance from such superficial people using your analytical skills. Action speaks louder than words, any day.
