This is exactly how humans behave and should too. I have often thought about human nature and life in general. People have never interested me, their qualities have. The more careful and cautious a person, the less popular he is. Popularity requires you to let go of yourself, let everyone around you know the real you. People are always interested,not because they care, they are simply curious. Its human nature.The more you give them to feed on, the more they crave for.
I have always wondered about how some people actually like trading their personal spaces for false popularity. There has to be a limit upto which you open up. You need to guard your innermost feelings. Not because you have something to hide, but because you cannot take the risk of someone playing with your feelings or making a fool out of yourself. Most people are just not strong enough to be able to manage it. True, it is always the popular ones who get noticed. However, I always notice the rest of the crowd and admire the prudent ones, for reasons more than one. And mind you, there is a difference between being cautious and clamping up. The reclusive ones, I just ignore :P They simply lack social skills.
PS: A thing I have noticed in other blogs is that people like discussing events in their lives or people they want to crib about. I, on the other hand, find this utterly boring and it defeats the purpose of this blog of mine. Ideas are the only things I like in blogs. So, do not expect regular updates from this blog, because it's not every other day that you come up with an idea or a perspective on something that you would like to share with people :P
This one's forced me to introspect and think about a few things :)
