The 2 types of people

Swimmers and Divers

I like to think about everything and I always analyse everything that happens to me in real life. Be it small or big. I think psychological and I get deep in thought very frequently.

This time I came up with this: Why do we have 2 types of people, extroverted and introverted or how I will call them; why do we have the swimmers at the surface and the divers at the bottom of the ocean? Generalizing these types will make it easier to understand my thoughts, that's why I will call and describe them differently.

Swimmers

When people are together, talking to each other, anyone can clearly see that a few talk more than others. As you know, the ocean is very wide but also deep. It can be used as a scale to ascribe people. People talk and talk, but what do they talk about? Mainly about nothing seriously interesting or that is from important matters, it's what they call "small-talk". They swim at the surface of the ocean, communicating about the wide and totally obvious topics of the ocean. It's the type of people who you talk to when you want to just talk about the simple facts or stories of the daily life. Swimmers like to know the obvious things. Swimmers also don't see the beauty of the unknown territory of the ocean. They see a little bit of the depth but they will never get to see the bottom of the ocean and it's misteries.

Divers

Now we're getting to the thoughtful side of the ocean. While swimmers talk about daily and simple topics, divers tend to talk more about their feelings and what seriously matters to them. They have the possibility to talk about more meaningful matters. Whether it is about their private life or something they care about. Divers most of the time also want some kind of responce - a piece of the other person's life. 

When divers talk to swimmers they feel like they are not taken seriously, that is why divers usually don't talk as much, because most people, the swimmers, are talking less about meaningful things. In contrast to swimmers, it is not easy to understand how divers think or feel. They like to explore the unknown, that's why in public they are mainly in the background and don't have much to talk about. It doesn't mean they are not interested, they just like to talk more personal to the other person. Divers can see the surface clearly and that's why they don't bother talking about general things they already know. For them, talking to swimmers feels like answering questions. Divers like to see what's under the surface.

Swimmers and Divers are completely different in every way, but yet they both rely on each other. They both live in the ocean and can learn from each other. Both, swimmers and divers, want to understand other people, just in a different way.
