i think deep down i'm still afraid of what people will think of me.
i was reading some article about friends, and i realised that im an in-built listener, and a really bad conversationalist. but with my closest friends, this never seems to be an issue! so yeah, sometimes i don't talk about myself enough because i'm afraid of what people will think of me, and it just seems very unnatural for me to suddenly talk about myself.
so i went to read up a little more, and i realised that when i ask people questions like "How have you been?", i expect to hear a story/event about their lives, but when people ask me this question, i brush it off with just a "im good". i'm just unknowingly making it difficult for people to get to know me! maybe its some sort of self-sabotage? :/
so i'm resolving to work on this. after all, its never healthy to keep everything inside of me, and not tell anyone right? and its definitely not healthy to know so much about someone, and yet have that person know so little about me. so i think i must make it a point to reveal something personal about me everytime i have a conversation. and this blog post shall be a reminder for me!
