Conflict of Interest
I was thinking to myself earlier today of how I've rarely spoken to anyone new for some time now. For the past few weeks I've mostly spent my time at home and what that means is that the circle of people I've been talking to are the same guys that I've known for years now, and yes, it's mainly just guys because I don't have a lot of female friends.
And don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with just being around your circle of friends, but I woke up this morning feeling like I needed to talk to someone new (not necessarily be friends with them), and part of the reason for this is that when you meet someone new, even for that brief minutes that you guys get to talk, you get to learn new things about them, you get to see how they see life differently and all that, unlike my friends who I already know how majority of them think, therefore making it occasionally feel boring.
But unfortunately, in as much as I love meeting new people, I love staying a way from trouble better and if there's one thing I know, it is that the moment you leave your home, you have to be prepared for anything. Trouble, mostly, is out there and also new people too, so it's a conflict of interest for me.
I once told a story of how I attended a friend's birthday party only to end up paying for the repairs of a strangers iPhone because we had bumped into each other and it fell.
So you see, in order for me to get one thing, I have to be prepared to face the other one, just in case it decides to show up. Unfortunately, I don't think trying to meet someone new is worth the possibility of me getting into trouble, and unfortunately I haven't been doing so well conversing online (I get bored easily), so I guess I will have to go back to my little safe space and just wait for the day when I'm ready to go take on this challenge.
And no, I don't think I'm an introvert, as a matter of fact I'm sure I'm not. I'm just a guy who will always try to avoid any form of trouble whatever way u can because trouble stresses me out, and I'm not one that likes to be stressed out.
