Meeting
a person for the first time, discovering them, also means that you are
discovering something you did not know about yourself, meeting a new and
strange part of yourself you never knew existed. As people, we act as mirrors
for one another, we reflect to each other our dark and bright parts and we love
those who reflect back to us our brightest and most attractive characteristics
and detest the ones who reflect our flaws; showing us where we really need to
change and grow. That is why some people find it emotionally challenging to
meet new people, their only friends are those made when they were younger, they
struggle with relationships and social events because in such settings of having
to meet someone new, or being surrounded by a group of people they are not acquainted
with, they are in fact confronted with their own disadvantages, something they would
rather not see. It
takes courage to make new friends and learn about your own sparkling and dim stars.
