We're closed to others because they're closed to us. We're shy of others because they're shy of us. We're insecure because they're insecure. One person says what he only thinks is "right" socially, and makes another have that same idea, because he's insecure of going against the stream. The other person thinks he's really sure and authoritive.

We're embarrassed when we slip up but the others don't really hate us, they're really just happy that they're not the ONLY one that slips up.

We all have the idea of what people really should be, and we're all uncomfortable with ourselves for not being that. We all have our own ways of dealing with this; we might be introverted, extroverted, cruel, or excessively nice.

I'm increasingly seeing that we're all the same in these insecurities. We never admit to having to them, so each of us feels like a black sheep, but we're all the same. Even the most dignified person can be insecure. Some people just have better strategies than others, or happened to been lucky in some ways.

See the Joke of Life! Don't see a hateful person, see someone who just wants assurance like you. When they call you a freak, remember that they're just scared. When you realise we're all the same, and no-one's so special, it opens you up to be truly kind, truly yourself, and truly free.
