On the subject of labels: I'm of mixed opinion on labels. I have discovered that the LGBTQ community uses a lot of labels for different types of people and preferences. Same with BDSM. I used labels to not feel so left out. I was in to MBTI fir awhile, when I tested ENFP. I outgrew it as my awareness and self realization expanded. Now I retook the test and tested INFJ. I definitely would identify far more as an introvert now.
Some labels I have now are girlfriend, friend, boss, manager, rope bunny, submissive, baby girl, bi-sexual, pansexual (maybe), demisexual, sapiosexual, brat, introvert, intelligent, driven, 75% vanilla, loyal, authentic, genuine. I actually think I might have drifted from labels to adjectives there 😂.
Labels can be used to hurt, however, which is why I am conflicted. Some people like to label to isolate and separate, to alienate. When I was little I was labeled loner, weird, annoying, ditzy, bubbly, bimbo, bubble headed. This is clearly due to my appearance, beautiful, blonde, female.
I have been routinely underestimsted due to my appearance and my gender, especially in my career, in every job I've had after I had my own company. I finally found a place that recognizes how valuable I am, and they have given me a promotion from IT Engineer III to IT manager. I still have all the projects and engineering duties though, or I would hate it. 😂
I've historically shied away from leadership roles, but I think I'm ready. I really want to be a good, inspiring leader. I want to inspire and motivate. I want to appear confident and instill confidence. I'm very passionate and I'm in love with my job. I'd love to help others love their job too. The road ahead is a challenge, to inspire the complacent abd motivate the unmotivated. It's my next chapter.
