Interaction

Interaction is essential, but they never taught us in school.

I used to be too shy to interact with strangers whom I don't feel comfortable with, and I used to avoid connection whenever I felt intimidated by the opponents' confidence or even status.

But communication, it is unavoidable.

You've got to express your thoughts and listen to what people have to say. Adults are not always right, you are not always wrong. They don't get it, doesn't mean you are on the wrong side, who decides what's right or wrong anyways? If you disagree, convince me with reasons. If you can't justify it, it isn't right.

You need to be able to talk things through without hard feelings. Because before the day ends, you need to filter through your negativity and feel okay about your day. Because it is very important that you are happy with what you're doing. It is crucial that you learn to appreciate the down emotions, but you gotta master the skills to get over it.

Despite the big talk, I must admit that now and then sometimes I still feel intimidated by people, but why let fear rip off the excitement of interacting? Talking activates the brain! But of course, you need to first fill up the empty brain before you can get the talk into something interesting.
