i used to think i am a good listener, but realistically speaking, maybe not. I am more caught up in my own world than trying to figure out others'. Perhaps, that is why i cannot click with certain people, alot of people that is!
my social awkwardness did nothing to help either. At times, i do not know what to say to the other parties, so i tend to bore them with my stories. To me, my stories are "interesting", but to others, apparently nonsensical and better not to listen.
I see it in their inattentive faces, my inability to connect to them hurt me. But i pretend not to care, for that is what i can only do.
My heart is screaming for someone who truly understands me, who truly listens to my every "lame" story. That someone came close, yet he is not the one.
i think no one can, only my heavenly Father...

we connect differently with different people. we are all different. it is not possible to connect with everyone. Don't worry. At least you do have people in your life you can connect with.
