Lately I have been noticing the interactions people have on an everyday basis. It is a really intriguing issue to me. Most of the interactions people have are inherently not good for either or one side. Why does this happen? If anyone knows please let me know.

This happens more often than it should. Someone is either holding something back, or being submissive, or dominating, or whatever. Most people fail when they actually interact with others. I fail. It’s a really weird feeling to know an interaction could have gone better for one specific reason. Many times I wish I could go back in time, five minutes or so, and redo the same interaction differently, so hopefully the second time around, it wouldn’t be as bothersome to me.

Another thing I have noticed is that within those poorly played out interactions, most people try not to let the other person or persons involved see anything too personal. I do this many times as well. It saddens me a little to notice that most people would rather have interesting things to say, than actually get to know another person and have that person know them.

This world is full of people, and one of the best ways to make it through this sometimes terrible place is to have meaningful interactions with people you know well, or are just finding out about.

I wish getting to know people and breaking down societal set standards of interactions was as easy as writing about it, but it’s not. I know it’s not and probably never will be, but I want to strive for it. I think everyone should want to know people, and by know, I mean deep down know – knowing their ways and methods and knowing what they really feel and how they react.

One of the greatest things in my life is experiencing people and just understanding things about them. It makes some aspects of this world easier. It is just so hard to watch interactions fail and watch people who would get along and probably have fun together, stop because they can’t get past some silly barrier. I do it. I create silly walls. I try my hardest not to, but it’s inevitable.

I wish it was easier to break through and experience life with others, as many others as I possibly can. Do you think it’s possible? I sure do and I am going to try my hardest to make all my friendships, possible friendships, future relationships and work for real. Real interactions that will make me and the others involved feel real, feel alive. Isn’t that what life should be about?
