Do you ever sit and question your actions undertaken on that day? I often find when I’m in bed I lie there and think about what I hoped to achieve by doing certain things and if I achieved them. Before you write me of as a self-involved overly reflective freak just hear me out.
Just take the time to sit and think about how you act with people and why that is. Human behaviours and our personalities are almost reflexes in a lot of ways, there are many things we do that we don’t consciously think about, especially in regards to human communication.
I sometimes find myself trying to goad responses out of people, trying to bait them to see how they would respond because I don’t know what they would do. This isn’t nice of course but I think it just points out how much I want to understand people. There are other things I do as well I’ve noticed. When I don’t know someone I tend to present myself as a much more moderate person, slowly becoming more extreme in my views until they have reached the correct spot. Maybe that’s normal but still it’s interesting to think that I don’t feel comfortable being completely me when I’m around someone new. I’m aware it’s quite normal but its interesting in the sense that we all do it. We all know that some people have more liberal or conservative ideas than us, we know that some people like jazz more or less than us, but a lot of people put themselves out as a much greyer and washed out version of themselves and then fill in the colours progressively.
Before I just confirm that I’m self-involved I will just say: tomorrow night or even tonight, think about how you acted with people, think about the phrases you use without thinking and maybe you’ll learn a little something about yourself.
PEACE OUT NEW YORK
