How to tell someone you're a Multipotentialite?
So, you're a multipotentialite. You have a million different interests and hobbies, and you can't seem to stick to just one thing for very long. Maybe you're passionate about writing, but also love painting, playing music, and learning about astrophysics. And when you try to explain this to others, they look at you like you have three heads.
"How can you be interested in so many things?" they ask. "Don't you ever get bored?"
Sound familiar?
Yeah, we've all been there. Trying to explain our multipotentiality to others can feel like trying to explain the plot of Inception to your grandma. But fear not, my fellow multipotentialites, because I've got some tips for explaining your multi-passionate nature in a way that won't make others think you're a total weirdo.
Use analogies. Sometimes, the best way to explain something is to compare it to something else. For example, you could say that being a multipotentialite is like being a buffet lover. You don't want to just eat one type of food for the rest of your life, you want to try everything! Or you could say that being a multipotentialite is like being a magpie, attracted to shiny new things all the time.
Embrace your quirks. Let's face it, being a multipotentialite is a little bit weird. But that's what makes us interesting! So instead of trying to downplay your quirks, embrace them. Tell people about the time you decided to learn Icelandic for fun, or about the weird little side hustle you have selling vintage Barbie dolls on Etsy. People will be more likely to understand your multipotentiality if they see it as a part of your unique personality.
Keep it simple. When explaining your multipotentiality to others, it's easy to get bogged down in the details. But most people don't need to know every single interest and hobby you have. Instead, try to simplify it. You could say something like, "I'm someone who loves to try new things and explore my passions." This gets the point across without overwhelming others with information.
Share your successes. If you're worried that others won't understand your multipotentiality, show them your successes. Share your writing portfolio or your latest painting on Instagram. When others see that you're capable of achieving great things in multiple areas, they'll be more likely to understand and respect your multi-passionate nature.
Don't take it too seriously. At the end of the day, being a multipotentialite is just one part of who you are. If someone doesn't understand it, that's okay! You don't have to justify your interests to anyone. Just embrace your quirks, keep it simple, and remember that being a little bit weird is what makes life interesting.
So there you have it, folks. Some tips for explaining your multipotentiality to others. And if all else fails, just tell them you're like a human Swiss Army Knife - you've got a tool for every situation. Who doesn't love a good analogy?
