Are you someone who is impressed and awe-stricken by meeting and interacting with new people? I don't mean "interesting" or "exceptional" people, I just mean new people.

I understand the necessary importance of friendship, love, and general social interaction. But I have friends who are constantly preaching the message of getting out and "meeting the world."

I actually have more travel experiences than them and, if anything, I would say people are more or less the same in my experiences. I haven't gleaned many insights into how diverse and complex people are, instead I've happened to see more of the pattern and similar foundations that people function from: basic needs, suffering, confusion, the quest for fulfillment and self-worth, identity-securing behavior, and otherwise meme-gurgling abstractions of their family, experiences, and environment.

I'm seldom surprised these days.

So, long story short, do you think people are harboring infinite sources of wisdom, or are they mouth-breathing monkeymen? It's OK to fall in the middle of this continuum, Alfred Kinsey told us so.

It's nice to have people leveled out more evenly, that way there's no need to impress anyone and no shyness, not even a need to meet any specific type of person and cling to their aura. (There are still some people I'm more attracted to and feel shy about meeting than others, but these are the ones that are the most Quiet. Not many of those around.)

It's nice to just meet new people freshly on the road because the personality doesn't get so involved in the interaction, which is sweet. This is probably why I've been so attracted to traveling in the past. Not the stuff that is mentioned in the guidebooks..

Lots of people have reason to be unimpressive. Hell, I probably come off as pretty unimpressive to some people too.

I try my best to recognize what is unique about someone, even if it's not that unique, but it gives me a way to place a value to them with something that sparks my interest. If there's nothing uniquely interesting about a person, I'm probably not going to have much to do with them after our first meeting.

That's something I've always hated about house parties, so many people that go to them are just typical and uninteresting. I stopped going to them and started being more tactical with the places I go to meet people, and lately I've met a lot of quality people who I can relate to. Lately I've enjoyed "meeting the world" but I'm still very select with who I connect to, I don't just start a conversation with the AM/PM clerk or people like that.

I just see people's insecurities anymore, except for the random down to Earth person I meet once every year or 6 months. They build themselves off of other people's images and ideas, and don't really know who they are. They care too much, take everything so personally. I think that's really the problem with everything though, our egos that is.
