Positive

HEY!

recalled why my blog is named as such. back when i first started blogging in 2007-2008, i was very friendly, which some of my peers considered OVER-friendly. hence the words 'flirt' and 'irfan' were used interchangeably. and being the positive person i am, of course i embraced it! but it was a common misconception that the url is 'Flirt-To-Irf' shortened. as a young boy, i thought 'Flirt-o-Irf' was cool so i went with it.

anyways yeah these past few weeks i've been trying to keep myself busy, and filling up my days with things to do! and in most things, i realise that i'm a very sensitive person. not OVER-sensitive mind you! it's not like i'm gonna finger point everything you say or what.

but what i mean by that is that i can get really affected just by a person directing a negative comment or attitude to me. for example, a single comment said in passing, whereby the person who said is will forget about it the next day, will continue to haunt me for the next few days. i'll be thinking, 'what did i do wrong? did i say something wrong which compelled the person to say what he/she said? at that point, my whole week could be ruined as i keep mulling over the moment over and over in my mind. which is not healthy at all T.T

on the flip side though, i thrive on positive reinforcement. what i mean is, if i manage to do something correctly, and am praised for it, you can bet that i'll be able to do it a second time; and be happy about it too.

to be on the receiving end of negative comments just ruins anyone's day basically. that knowledge is also how i live my life by. i try to the best of my abilities to be impartial and treat everyone nice. i know i'm not perfect, (i'm only human after all) but i can strive to be the person who treats everyone like how i want to be treated.
