I have once written about temperament here on this blog. But I just wrote about the four temperaments in general. But this is different as I will talk about my own according to hive - reach out weekly prompt. When talking about temperament, I understand it as our inborn traits or attitudes we exhibit. Our inborn personality that people call attitude. Or how we react to the world. I would like to explain a little of what I know about temperament before I tell you my personality.
We have Sanguine, Choleric, Phlegmatic, and Melancholic. I possess the two introverted ones, which are the Phlegmatic and Melancholic.
Phlegmatic are people that are relaxed, very calm, observant, affectionate; if they break up with someone or people betray them, it takes long to heal; they are peacemaking, always curious to know something; they are always faithful and accepting a lot of things. Their weaknesses are they are shy, lazy; they just prefer a soft life and don't do anything; fearful to change; they are not goal-oriented; they are discouraging; they can't motivate you as a friend; they don't love to participate in anything; and they are stubborn.
Melancholics are considerate, thoughtful, planners, organized; they are the kind of people that when you go to their house, all their homes are always well-organized; no matter how you help them clean their house, they will still see something to arrange. They love to be independent; they are good at preventing problems. Their weaknesses include mood swings; they can be sad in one moment and happy in another; you can't fully understand them; they are difficult to please; if you clean for them, they can clean it again; they are prone to depression and sometimes procrastinators; they are too obsessive and deeply affected if something happens to them.
I was first taught about this in church by our fellowship president, and I also read more about it. That day she was teaching us, I already knew I was Melancholic and Phlegmatic because I am calm, faithful; I am dependent; I don't talk to people about my problems; I don't borrow from people; and I exhibit all those weaknesses too. I procrastinate; when people do something for me, I am not satisfied. I love to organize my room. And all those characters.
Since I knew my temperament, I have been working on myself. I have been more accommodating, friendly, though it's hard for me, but I am trying to get better. I have tried to be consistent now; I know it's not a one-day job, but I am getting better.
