Every new human we encounter carries a new possibility for us to discover ourselves. With a new person, its almost like we are reborn; we acquire the ability to be a completely unique individual, whatever we want to be. and as horrible as it maybe sound (if you misjudge it as having multiple personalities), I love this idea. And I’ll make my point here. At any phase in life, none of us really know who we are; from the minute we are born to the day we die, we are in the endless quest of discovering ourselves. It’s literally a life long quest so being with new people actually accelerates and helps that growth within ourselves; You discover what kind of attitude makes you feel happy about yourself. You discover which traits you want to keep and which to change, and this change isn’t dependent on the other person’s views about you or their take on which characteristic they like or dislike about you, instead it depends upon how you feel about yourself when you are with that person. It depends on how you feel about who you are, the things you do, the way you behave. It also doesn’t mean you are changing yourself for other people or losing your identity. If anything, you are forming your identity. You are discovering, just like everyone else is. If you act in a complete new way with someone, you are actually doing it for yourself, to experience how that feels, to don’t miss out on life. At the end of the day, it’s completely your choice which attributes you choose to keep and which to change, but at least you would have experienced what you wouldn’t have otherwise, if you would have kept doing the same mundane things that you always do. The thrill and possibilities new experiences and new people bring with them, simply strike my imagination so I love the idea. Everyone’s open to disagree but I sincerely believe if you dont come out of the shell that you have always believed as being ‘you’ since whenever you had your personal revelation, you are going to miss out. Everyone should get out of their shell. Discover new. New is fun. Exciting. Challenging. And eventually, life changing.
