Open Up
Why do I have the hardest time opening up to those closest to me, yet I will sometimes ramble on to people who are merely coworkers?
I think its funny how I can have a great conversation with adults but with young people...its hard. I guess my friend Lee was right, I often think of ideas and propositions. Teenagers, I think, would rather talk about him or her and adults, mature ones, can do both. So when I sit with Mr. Old Man and talk about politics or something, we click. But when I am hanging out with Susie Q I don't really get excited when we talk about so and so, this person or that.
Another thing I've learned about being an introvert is that people will often confuse our emotions. I was on the phone and I guess I often respond with a quick "Ok" that comes off as rude. Sometimes I think it comes that way because I am cut off from mid sentance, maybe I am annoyed at it on occasion. But more often than not, I just mean Ok. Ya feeling me Andy?
