PERSONALITY: Having grown up in a setting where he didn't interact with a lot of people beyond his family, Jinseong doesn't exactly have the best social skills. While they have greatly improved after officially leaving the nest. He still has his moments where he doesn't quite understand a social cue. One thing that he is horrible about is being gentle. He can be horribly blunt. While in his mind he is just trying to be honest. He often comes off as rude. While sometimes he is trying to be rude, that is not always the case. He hates it when he hurts the feelings of those he cares about because he didn't think before he spoke. Jinseong is also a bit of an overthinker. This often comes into play when he tries to apologize for being rude by going way overboard. He often looks for things that aren't even there to satisfy the urge to look into every little detail. This often leads to him burning himself out for absolutely no reason. He has learned a few tricks to keep himself from completely blowing things out of proportion, but that doesn't mean he won't trip over an anthill. It doesn't help that he is not super organized. He is not a procrastinator and he doesn't just ignore the problem completely. He just sometimes goes about dealing with it in a way that doesn't make a lot of sense and he sometimes will abandon the plan halfway through. Not always the best course of action. It's just how he works. Another thing about Jinseong is that is rather reserved. He is not the most talkative person, and only really feels comfortable with people that he is close with. Jinseong can be in groups and do small talk, but it's not his favorite setting. He much prefers more one on one type scenarios where he can get to know someone slowly.
In a more positive light. Jinseong is a very patient person. He may be blunt and overthinks, but he knows how to wait. It took him a while to get to a point where he didn't let his habit of overthinking everything force him into a position where he chose something before he wanted to. Now that he is finding it a lot easier to be calmer and think things through instead of jumping into it with reckless abandon. He has found that has helped a lot with learning about people. Another he has learned is to be flexible. Thus you learn to expect the unexpected and accept that sometimes things just happen whether you want them to or not. Because being able to take things with great stride has been extremely useful. He knows that he hadn't learned to be more flexible with life that he would be in a really bad spot right now. With that being said, Jinseong is very loyal to his friends. He grows attached to the people that he has let into his life and he wants to be able to give them any support they may need. He doesn't easily drop people, even when they might make him upset. He believes that he started being friends with that person for a reason. So unless the fight was really bad he will still stand by them when they need him. He does know that people need space though. Usually, he can tell when someone needs space, but he usually likes to check in beforehand just to be sure. Jinseong is the type to pick up on small details and hold onto them. This comes in handy when he is trying to learn something new.
