I don’t know if everyone else experienced this or not.
But I used to feel intimidated by cool looking people, by foreigners, by tall people (ridiculously tall,) by people in suits. It’s hard to explain what the feeling exactly feels like. If I try to put it into words, maybe it’s the feeling that they are better than me, and instead of feeling okay with it, I made an invisible defense mechanism, feeling threatened, or else.
And I don’t know when or how, but that feeling disappears now, at all. Like now, I don’t even think about them at all, because I know beneath all the attributes, they are humans just like me. The humans that do silly things, that are vulnerable, and want to have fun. Or is it maybe because of all the privileges that I have now? Having money makes you look at the world differently.
or maybe along the way, in my experiences, I learned about it.
I don’t like people who feel the need to look “strong.” Usually this character shows up in group setting, do you know one person who is so insecure that he always have to be right? That’s the kind of person I dislike. But strangely, if it’s only the two of us, suddenly that bad characteristic vanishes.
Why can’t we be humans and just have fun?
