A person that is afraid to interact with people?? I fear for the future.
What's so baffling about it? It's just social anxiety, and it's pretty common from what I know. I wouldn't say that we're "scared to talk to people" but just tense that something we say might come out wrong or sound embarrassing.
Thanks for an awesome read, Doc. Looking forward to many more.
Yeah, it is good read I guess, but it really is sad when people say things like :
'I'd like to "get out there", make friends, and all that good stuff, but it feels like my ship has sailed'
If people really feel this way, I am afraid for the future. Their future. Others' future.
I always thought interacting with people was an early learned process. In hind sight I can see how my words may be seen/heard as rude, but seriously....
Is being afraid of people a huge occurrence?
This reminds me of the kids who used to take LSD a lot, they were always paranoid of what everyone thought about themselves all the time. It really isn't a big deal, unless they are so easily swayed by others opinions.
Know what I mean?
