Evaluation: Insecurity, Insensitivity or both
Sunday, November 27th, 2005Witnessed…
A person walks into a room full of people engaged in conversation. They may expect to be welcomed, but are not. Rudeness is witnessed first hand from a friend to a friend. Feelings are mixed…should they jump in to already flowing conversation or should they keep to themsleves and wait for others to arrive that have not begun to connect yet? Do people find it unusual to walk up to a conversation and just insert themselves? In the interest of protecting themselves and those close to them, they want to leave the situation. Is this insecurity on their part or insensitivity on the part of those already there? They are overreacting, right? Or maybe not. Whose job is it to initiate? Should those called “friends” engage first? If they were a stranger, would it be the same? Uncomfortable place that should be comfortable. When in friendship do people get past themselves and get real? Or do all those involved truly think they are being real? It isn’t their fault, they are just clueless in their self-centered world. If someone is hurting and no one notices, who’s fault is it? The hurting person or those who should ask? I’m full of questions.
