If you’ve met me in person but don’t know me that well, you might think I’m not the type who enjoys talking to people. But that’s not true. I actually love hearing people’s stories like what they do every day, their opinions on certain things, their work, even little details about their life. For me, that’s how friendships start, and sometimes those stories give me new insights or inspiration.
I’m usually the one asking questions. I don’t talk much about myself unless someone asks. It’s kind of my way of checking if they’re actually interested in getting to know me too.
Of course, not every attempt goes well. Recently I tried to start conversations with some new people in my neighborhood and at school. I asked about their jobs, what industries they’re in, but they didn’t really ask me anything back.
That’s when I knew they weren’t interested, and honestly, I didn’t feel like pushing it either. I want to make friends with people who value me, not with those who don’t care to connect.
But that’s just how it is with people, right? You can’t expect everyone to respond the way you want. Sometimes you click, sometimes you don’t. And that’s okay. 😊
