There is the introvert, and there is the extrovert. But there are also those who are plain nasty.
This evening, a friend of mine invited another friend to join us for dinner. I like meeting new friends so I was pretty excited about it.
I soon discover that this new friend is a doctor. I don't have many doctor friends so I was really looking forward to meeting this new friend. However, I soon found out that this new friend really lacked any table manner/social skills. This new friend knew how to talk... not talkative, but not quiet either. However, the things that this new friend talked about were not really topics or issues which would earn you 'true' friends. The things which this new friend talked about ranged between being a doctor, a lecturer at two different schools, upcoming trips to Hua Hin and Samed at 5-star hotels, other doctors who come for advice, stalkers, collagen, vegetarianism, and finally, the previous life of being a San Franciscan. By the third topic, I was already chatting with another friend on Line.
Later, in the BTS, I began wondering what may have caused this dislike for those who boast/talk about themselves. Perhaps why I felt turned-off was not so much of the seemingly boastful nature, but because of my insecurities about myself - something which I discovered that very afternoon, and felt really ashamed of. I don't know, maybe a new resolution for 2013 - get rid of insecurities!
