Airs and Graces: Types of Contact
Social interactions are interesting. At reunions, people act one of three ways.
1. Speak when spoken to.
2. Act themselves.
3. Put up a glass exterior, filled wit politeness and distance.
I would say that I fit in the first of the three, only speaking when someone else enquires, and even then, mostly about them and never about me.I wonder which of the routes is the best philosophy for life; to be true to yourself or to use a facade. There are times when I've seen both used successfully, but they balance the scales equally in my mind. I hesitate to choose a victor.
This entry comes after a family dinner, but after a week of contemplating on my distinct lack of social graces. I need to focus on honing my social skills, plain and simple. At one point I was on top of it all, but now I feel my skills have dwindled away..
I just wish I knew where to begin.
