What is a person with a closed personality like? How can this person change this personality trait?
I am someone with a closed personality.Having a closed personality is being quite reserved, quiet and having difficulty opening up to people. Often, with me personally, it will be hard for me to really talk to a person, other than ‘hello my name is…’ because:I don't trust the personI don't know much about the personI may know the person but don't know what they like to talk aboutHate what they likeLost in thoughtSmall talk will be the death of meThe list goes on. There are a lot of reasons we don't open up, but the fact of the matter is, we usually don't.Regarding change, a person cannot change another person, but you can bring out different aspects of a personality. Most personalities can open up if you know the trick.For me, I am an INTP personality type. I know that if you get my interest on a topic I am passionate about, I will not stop talking until you understand every mechanic and element about the topic. I am sure it is the same with other closed personalities because who doesn't love to talk about their passion.You have to give people with closed personalities a chance because often, not always, but often, we want to talk but we really have so much trouble.Try and see what they like and ask a lot of questions about that topic, and likely, you'll see a side to them you haven't seen before.
Does being a good person pay off?
The good deeds that you are doing are supposed to give you a spiritual boost, but not necessarily a material boost. If you were a Christian, then you would be doing these things because you love God and His creation, and you love your neighbor. This love is supposed to be its own reward, but when the truth is told, it's really disappointing when doing good doesn't lead to good things coming our way. I'm not an expert on Buddhism, but I think that Karma is supposed to be more than "what goes around comes around." Overall, Buddhists try to not desire because desire leads to suffering. Right now, I would blame your predicament on the economy more than on karma. Keep doing good when you are able, because there are enough bad people in the world already. Good luck.
Why are Jehovah Witnesses so closed minded?
I totally agree with Ishvarla! Seriously, either this person you're talking about is not actually one of Jehovah's Witnesses
Give me one good reason why banks are closed on Sunday?
It all depends on the wage award people are working under. On MY award (I work in processing and manufacturing) Saturday is Time and A Half. Sunday is Double Time, or Double Time and a Half. So if your friends are working on a similar award, if they worked Saturday they'd get $15 an hour (penalty rate) and if they worked Sunday, possibly $20 or $25 an hour. What employer is going to want to pay those kinds of wages? Are you kidding me? Banks do have the traditional opening hours. But these days, they'd be paying insurance for being open on those days, (public indemnity, in case someone stabs themself to death with one of those pens because it wasn't chained to the table on a long enough chain, or in case they got robbed, as Sunday, with it's sparse shoppers and few employees would make it a soft target) and utilities. They might need a security guard also. I am sure being open on a Sunday is prohibitively expensive, mainly because of the wages. No boss is going to fork out all that extra money when customers can come in during the week or on Saturday morning. It also might be what the union has negotiated for that industry. I know in my country if you're protected by a union agreement, you either get paid heaps more (the penalty rates) for weekend work, or you negotiate to not have those days as days of employment. If the union has negotiated that they will not work on a Sunday, and the workplace (whether the individual employee is a union member or not) has negotiated not to work that day, then they do not work that day. Actually, I don't really like the idea of banks open on a Sunday. They'd have to raise fees to cover the cost of the wages and the insurance and running costs, and I'm not a huge fan of bank fees as it is. Be happy with what you've got. Not so long ago, I think most banks didn't even open on a Saturday. Best wishes
What kind of relationship do you have with your ex?
I've been divorced twice. The first, no kids, we have no contact. The second, we have a now-8-year-old daughter together. We split when she was 3. I'm a very committed father, and she likewise, and we were good friends before we were married. After time, and forced civility because of our shared custody, we rediscovered our friendship. Several relationships of mine, and a few of hers later, and we are now very good, supportive friends. She and her new husband, and my girlfriend and I hang out often, go on vacation together (with the kids), play Munchkin together, and refer to our collective selves as "the Weird Herd". I attended her wedding, and she's even helping me find a great engagement ring.It can be done. But you can't still want each other. That poisons things. My ex and I are MUCH better as friends than as spouses, and we both know this. I see my ex doing things that drove me NUTS when we were married, and her husband handles them with grace. He's much better for her than I was. I'm genuinely happy for them. And she for me and mine.So, it CAN be done, if you know yourselves, and are very honest with each other and yourselves.
