PERFECT STRANGERS
These are people that we have never met at all before in our lives. People
whom we have never even bumped into or have even ran into any certain place or
event in our lives. In other words, "complete strangers"....
Yet somehow, in a strange twist of fate...you will meet a complete or
perfect stranger that you will instantly jive with or how do you say
this....uhmm...bond with?? Well, i can't figure out the exact words but as some
would say, "nag-click agad ang mga ugali''! Anyways, I just find it hard
to understand sometimes how something like that could happen...but it happens!
It could be that the other person is such a "people person" that they
really get along well with almost everybody they meet that the person that they
just met would feel an instant connection with them. There we go! Instant
connection! hahahahah! I got it now. :)
I said "other person" because knowing myself? Nah...I’m not the
one who gets along well with others that easily. But yeah, I do sometimes have
that moment with people I just met and we're like laughing together within a
few minutes. Growing up, I’ve always had poor social skills. I'm always that
shy and timid person that rarely talks with new people. Let's just say I never
had the confidence to talk to people. I'm always that quiet kid in class who
would always keep to himself while the other students are busy whereas the guys
are chatting about which house to go next for the next drinking session; and
the girls would be gossiping about their latest crushes and the other girls
that they really hate. (yes...high school life....) And I’d be like observing
them, listening and sometimes laughing with them while I can't wait for the
bell to rang at 4:30 in the afternoon so that I can go home and watch TV to
somehow escape reality...at least for a moment.
Having said that, you can really tell that I'm not a sociable person. So it
is always a surprise to me that I would find some complete stranger that I
would bond instantly with and talk about how I view life and some. A person
that you feel you can tell anything and not judge you and them feeling the same
way too. Now that is something that I find weird, awkward and
sometimes...scary! Weird and awkward at the same time because, you know you
don't really talk to your friends about what's going on through your mind and
yet, you meet this complete son-of-a-gun stranger and feel like you can tell
them almost anything. Scary, because of the fact that you’re spilling your guts
out to this person not knowing if they would use that against you or not.
Funny thing about these so called “instant friends” (complete stranger you
meet out of nowhere and instantly bond with) is that...they’re like that...”Instant”!
They’re there in an instant...and gone in instant! You start as strangers and
end up as strangers.
Like I said....perfect strangers!
