I am complex, yet not complicated

We shall be so lucky as to have a multi-layered personality, character traits and varying interest.  These complexities are what make getting to know someone new so exciting.  The more complex and intricate a person is, the more interesting they are.  It takes more time to discover the fullness of their being.  

If they reveal themselves slowly to you, you may be intrigued and held captive by their depth.  If they keep everything honest and consistent without the ever so popular, fake facade that easily melts away as time reveals the truth, they just might have a shot at capturing your heart.  The way to a girls heart is through her ear.  So as you do some introspection and self-improvement, keep in mind that your experiences and talents should not only be fun for you, but also great conversational pieces that enhances your wisdom and understanding.

But stay away from being complicated.  This is exhibited when someone feels stressed by simply listening to you talk.  As they put the pieces of your life’s story together, they get lost and loose interested due to the heavy feeling they get.

I guess the determining distinction between complex and complicated is the different feeling your story evokes in people. As well, if the circumstances of your life’s story realistically depict you as in control, then that is an indication of complex.  If you have no control over serious aspects of your life, tomorrow feels scary.

Relationship status: “It’s complicated”

    True. But also – it usually takes a confident, patient and understanding man/woman to be able to handle a person who’s complex, without thinking that s/he is complicated.

    If one is complex and the other is simple, they may have a difficult time with compatibility after a while. The simple one has to trust that part that they may not understand, and the complex one may have to fight the boredom or lack of the deeper stimulation that they may require in the long run.

    On the other hand, “Opposites Attract.”

    Que? I guess this concept is too complex for my simple mind to comprehend! There is a thin line between complexity and erratic… a complex person who is out of control is also a lost person. The simple person may be lost by the erratic behavior of the complex person! Simplicity is good, safe and predictable. There is nothing wrong with a simple person (for the long run) jermaine!
