I just decided to blog about something i was reminded of today.
Talking to people outside your usual social circle is actually really interesting
like, i know it seems obvious and stuff, but sometimes we are so caught up in our own "set" social group that we forget that there are other people out there to converse with. I mean, im not saying that everyone is like this, some people are just naturally outgoing and open to new friends that they would have no problem with breaking out of their "group". I actually really admire these people. For some , it may not be easy to strike up a convo (that lasts) with somone they dont usually talk to- however nice that person may be.
It may seem like a random blog, but i was reminded of it today when i decided to catch up with some people i havent talked to in years, or the people i just normally say "hey" to whenever we pass each other but never actually had a full conversation with them. I came to realise that these people outside the usual group of people i usually talk to are actually really intersting to talk or hang out with and all have their own unique opinions and personalites. Dont get me wrong, im not saying that i thought they were 'boring' before this or whatever- i just never really ..thought about it o.o. I used to believe that i wouldnt be able to keep conversations alive with the people im not used to takling to, but after today , that idea has been somwhat shoved aside thanks to a few certain individuals. I mean, its nice to hear differnt perspectives on things.=]
Oh and im not saying i dont think my usual social circle is not intersting, i love everyone in it. Thats why i still talk to those freakks. Im just saying that sometimes its better to keep an open mind to lifee , or at least, i THINK thats what im saying o.o :) So yeah, thank you cvhs, for letting us out early on tuesdays. LOL
Oh yeah and one more thing. Whilst i was catching up with a certain person that i havent talked to in like, yeaaaaars.. i came to realise how easy it is for someone to change and adapt new attitudes over time. I was never CLOSE to this person, but we used to talk and stuff quite a bit and what not. I dont know exactly what happend, but after talking to them today i found out that their personality and attitude towards life has completely changed. They used to be a pretty good person, doing work (even though they complain about it) and was respectful to their peers and elders. Now, however, they seem to not care about their past-self anymore and has even taken up smoking and gets into fights occasionally.
Im not trying to bag them out, this person is still quite a nicce person (yes, im going to ignore how this person tried to get me to take a puff of smoke LOL) but yeah, it got me thinking as to how peer pressure or whatever can greatly shape/change who we are. I told them to quit, and to stop getting into trouble and such, but it seems as if they dont want to. This also got me questioning (yes it was a day of many thoughts for me XD), as to if it was really any of my business about what this person does in their spare time-- i mean, do i really have a right to tell them what to do with their life? O.O
i dont know, im confusing myself heree LOOL so yeah, im going to end it noww goodbyeeeee ! xx
