Okay, here’s my blog post about my “25 May Personality” experiment, written in a casual, conversational style, just like the example you provided:
So, I got this wild idea the other day. I saw something online about “personality types” and how they supposedly change or you show different sides of yourself in different situations, you know? I thought, “Hmm, let’s see what my personality looks like if I tracked some basic stuff.” So, I’m calling it my “25 May Personality” because, well, that’s today.
The Setup
I decided to keep things super simple. No complicated tests or quizzes. I just wanted to pay attention to how I felt and acted throughout the day. I grabbed my trusty notebook, the one I use for everything, and jotted down a few categories:
- Mood: Just a quick word or two, like “happy,” “stressed,” “tired,” whatever.
- Energy Level: High, medium, low. No rocket science here.
- Social Interaction: Did I talk to people? Was I outgoing or did I want to hide in a blanket fort?
- Activities: What did I actually do all day?
The “Experiment” (aka, Just Living My Life)
I started the day pretty normal. Woke up, made coffee, and of course i had my breakfast. My mood was “okay,” nothing spectacular, but not bad. Energy was medium – I’d had enough sleep, but, caffeine,you know.
Then i checked my social media and then, I headed to work. This is where things got interesting. I had a couple of meetings, and I noticed I was way more talkative and animated than I usually am first thing in the morning. Like, I was actually making jokes. Who am I?
Lunchtime! I usually eat at my desk, but today I went out with some coworkers. Mood: upgraded to “good.” Energy: still medium, surprisingly. Social interaction: definitely high. I was chatting away, laughing, the whole shebang. Maybe all those morning meetings pumped me up?
Afternoon was a bit of a slog. I had a bunch of tedious tasks to do, and my mood dipped to “blah.” Energy: low. I just wanted to get things done and go home. I avoided talking to people as much as possible. Back to my introverted self, I guess.
I finished work, and I felt much better,I met up with a friend for dinner. Mood: “happy” again! Energy: surprisingly, back up to medium. I guess seeing a friend perked me up. Social interaction: high. We talked for hours, catching up on everything.
Finally, I got home, had some tea and watched some dumb videos. Mood: “relaxed.” Energy: low (but in a good way). Social interaction: zero, unless you count commenting online, haha.
What I Learned (Maybe?)
So, what did this little “experiment” teach me? Honestly, not sure if it revealed any earth-shattering truths about my “25 May Personality.” I guess I’m a pretty normal person with ups and downs, haha.
But it did make me more aware of how my mood and energy shift throughout the day. And how different situations bring out different sides of me. It’s kind of obvious when you think about it, but it’s easy to forget when you’re just going through the motions.
Would I do this again? Maybe! It was kind of fun to track things, even if it was just for a day. Maybe I’ll try it again next week and see if I get similar results. Or maybe I’ll just go with the flow and see what happens. Who knows!
