OUR DIFFERENCES CREATE US

By Yolanda Mabanga

In order for a circle of friends to ever work out it takes a room full of different personalities.  Lol, yeah yeah yea i am forever repeating that line but imagine if everyone in the circle was quiet or all of them were loud, it just wouldnt make sense. It honestly boils down to the functioning and reasoning of our social dynamics.   It would never make sense to have the exact same preferences and behaviour and for this reason, some individuals need to be flamboyant and charismatic and the others sit and be entertained from all of this.

For instance with my close friend and I, we are different beings.  She is very loud while I am a quiet.  Yes this does work when we are together because she will have enough to say for the both of us but at other times, she can get to my very last nerve for having this trait, to the point where I choose to keep to myself.  I feel that this is perfectly heathly and normal for any form of relationship to function.

When i wake up in the morning, because she knows me so well and has been in my life for several years, she can tell when I am not in the mood to listen or entertain her.  It could be that or maybe im just not a morning person but either way, haha.  I completely appreciate her distance in our friendship as much as i appreciate her nosy nature.  It forms part of her complete package and to me that is priceless.
