6 Reasons Being The Quiet Girl Sometimes Pays Off

In This Article:

I have never, ever been the one who was outgoing, or really talked to anyone. It really used to bother me, but I've come to see it as a blessing more than anything. Here's why.

You know the people who put forth the effort into getting to know you are worth it

It just goes to show that those who want to get to know you, really want to get to know you. Because they want to, not out of obligation.

You don't have all the drama

No drama? No problem. When you don't talk to a lot of people, you don't have all the issues that come with having a lot of friends, and a lot of drama.

People don't use you

Giphy

I have seen so many friendships go down the drain because one of the members was just tired of being used and was done putting forth the effort.

No obligation to make plans with people 

I don't know about you all, but my favorite activity is being in bed, in sweats, watching some Netflix. No friends = always doing just that.

Not being the center of gossip 

Nothing beats not being talked about, true or false, and not being friends with many people means that nobody has a reason to talk about you.

You can people watch in peace and quiet 

I love people watching. Are they going to work? Did they just get dumped? I don't know, but my imagination goes wild when I'm sitting alone and a person passes by.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
