I hope it is not only me who feels like avoiding somebody whom you felt so different from. I am fully aware that it seems too anti-social, but for a lack of better reasons, it's just hard to find a common ground or an interesting topic to converse, we think. Don't get me wrong, I am not anti-social but unfortunately, that is what I tend to do. But this one conversation that I had 2 weeks ago, proved me wrong. There is nothing to worry about, and being yourself is just most comfortable. In the end being different makes you unique. I am proud that this time I can fight this negative thought. Otherwise, I almost missed an opportunity to meet a person who shares a very similar vision about life and how we want to plan our future. Yet, we have completely different personality.
Don't even ask me about my first impression of him. He reminded me of Chuck Bass, so arrogant and full of attitude. His face was so intimidating! Smirky smiles, pointy eyes, and fake friendliness haha... and they were just not warm. I quickly pulled my hand and turned my head after I introduced myself. That's it, no more fake friends I thought. But, I just don't get away too easily. Couple friends decided to go to a lounge, and we ended up sitting next to each other! Awkward! Then he started asking me some questions and we started talking on and on... we talked about many things from study to work, us to family, now and future, plan and fear, and bottomline, sincerity. I just never expect that to happen, especially with a person like his type. Not a dot.
Everything just happened too fast and left such an impression on me. I did not even say goodbye that night when I left, I am not sure where he was actually. I just hope that we can keep in touch nevertheless. And because of this chance, two questions were then popped in my head. Have I not explored the world? Have I been too hard to myself that I define myself too shallowly? Well I just wanna say thanks to you Mr. super-outgoing, you helped me open my eyes. All the best. And actually I'm proud of myself that I tore down my imaginary boundary about us!
