Identifying your Vibe

When you are in the company of others, what kind of vibe do you give off?

Over the years, I have had a change of vibe from confidently shy to being ‘extremely’

sociable and later compartmentalizing my social identity in order to avoid an overlap.

The importance of identifying your social behaviors and categorizing them is that it helps you know who you are and how you behave in the midst of certain groups. It’s not about pretense or lies but understanding your environment and behaving in a manner that will be comfortable for you and everyone. For instance, the way you are with your best friends isn’t the same way you are with strangers or at work and so on. I learnt how to categorize my identity so I can be aware of my core values, apply them in my personal and professional life, enhance my relationship with others and know my boundaries as well as respect that of others. 

Other benefits of identifying your vibe are it:

Prevents misunderstanding 

Sends the right message with your body language 

Makes you understand your behaviors 

Enables you have a professional and social identity 

Helps you evolve 

Makes you aware of your values

Gives you a better and healthier relationship with others

Makes you real
