Inhibition - (psychology) the conscious exclusion of unacceptable thoughts or desires
uninhibited
adjective
1. unselfconscious, natural, relaxed, open, free, frank, informal, liberated, spontaneous, instinctive, candid, free and easy, unreserved, unrepressed a commanding and uninhibited entertainer
unselfconscious
2. unrestrained, uncontrolled, unchecked, free, unrestricted, unbridled, unconstrained, uncurbed The dancing is uninhibited and as frenzied as an aerobics class.
unrestrained restrained, inhibited, controlled, checked, curbed, hampered, constrained
So I’ve heard all my life that I seem to be uninhibited from various people.
It’s like the part of my brain that is supposed to go,
“no that isn’t socially acceptable” or
“don’t say THAT in front of EVERYONE especially so LOUD”
Just doesn’t work. It never really has.
I’ve always been so outspoken and it doesn’t phase me at all. In all aspects of my life, not just what I say, but my actions and how I think and how I feel, are all that way.
I’m EXTREMELY blunt and just say whatever I’m feeling. I do like this about myself though because it eliminates a lot of drama filled situations. When someone knows exactly how I feel or what my intentions are… everything goes quite a bit smoother. And when I say/do what I want at the time… I don’t regret anything because that’s what I wanted to do or what I was thinking at that point in my life.
I just wonder why some people do have these boundaries that they don’t want to cross and why some people don’t. What causes some people to be uninhibited as opposed to being inhibited?
What things impact the way people’s brains distinguish what is okay and what isn’t? Why are certain things perfectly fine to me and the same things are looked down upon by someone else?
I was raised as a southern Baptist and I had a decent upbringing but I’m just okay with a lot of things that others aren’t.
Example:
My mom and I were having a conversation about this the other night and she said I don’t have boundaries. She said that I could be a stripper and be morally okay with it, which is true. I could be and have no problem whatsoever with it. I don’t know why… It just doesn’t seem like a huge deal to me. Nudity is part of life and if you have a good body and people want to pay to see it… then more power to you. But other people look down on that so much and would NEVER be able to do that. I just wonder what events happen to sway a person’s opinions and thoughts, on such issues, a certain way. Or why that part of my brain, that’s supposed to know what’s “acceptable or “right”, just doesn’t seem to work like most other peoples.
I mean I pride myself for being this way. I love that I have such an open mind and that I don’t EVER judge people based on silly things like stripping or certain choices that they make. But it just blows my mind that not everyone is like that. I don’t understand how someone could look down on something (especially if they have no experience with said thing) and not even try to see the reasoning behind it.
It’s like they were brought up a certain way or were taught a certain way and so that’s how it is SUPPOSED to be. No matter what.
I would never be able to think that way. I have to think about everything from my perspective… and put myself in someone else’s shoes and imagine how I was feeling if I was that person and then try to see from their perspective why they do certain things or why they make certain choices. I could never just look down on someone for a decision or choice they made.
The other day I went to the bookstore and was in the new age section. I was there to buy horoscope/astrology books and its right next to the wiccan/witch books. And the looks I got from older people were fantastic. Seriously… funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. But it just made me think… how small their minds must be if they see someone standing in a section in a bookstore and automatically ASSUME something and then judge that person based on such a crazy assumption.
With that said, I think this goes back to my being uninhibited. The way I view things has a lot to do with what boundaries I have (which could possibly be none). Since I would do pretty much anything and am really open-minded… I can see why other’s would want to do such things and I somewhat sympathize? with them to a certain degree? Or understand where they are coming from.
I just wonder what things in a persons life can impact how they turn out… If any specific event, in someone’s childhood, can change how inhibited/uninhibited they turn out? Or what factors do have something to do with how they turn out…
