a big reason we're scared to meet new people.

[I am healed]

I think there is a huge reason we're afraid to meet new people and also to try and get to know people better. This reason is namely that we believe we are separate and different from the person we are trying to pursue. Maybe that person is smarter than us, or more popular, eccentric, attractive, maybe that person is less intelligent a different race We draw all these artificial lines and convince ourselves that people are so different from who we are. So offcourse it's scary to go out and interact with these vastly different folks. In my opinion however these lines are only skin deep and they function to keep us seperate from others and detract from our qaulity of life.

 

So in my opinion if you want to become more outgoing and social and more connected to people, then start focusing on the similarities.

 

I already predict that someone will bring up the argument that differences are often qaulities that attract one to another, and I agree. And I agree but I think the foundation of a relationship is based on mutual interests and respect, love and comfort and often difference can scare us (she's way out of my league for example).
