Do you find it easier to be closer to strangers? Individuals who you don’t have to worry about seeing you again and judging you for your past remarks or do you have that special friend, family member or loved one that you can spill your beans and pasta too. It’s not that the loved one will necessarily judge you for your remark(s) but could you feel uncomfortable when you say a bad joke, talk about a creative vision and/or tell them how you truly feel? Will they try to hard to get you out of that bad feeling instead of just empathizing with the mood that your in? Can they truly share the excitement and joy when that special song or moment is felt? If that is the case the next time you’re in a funk maybe it’s time to talk to a stranger.
