Yesterday I was travelling by bus and I wanted to talk to a person who was staying behind me, but I was somehow feeling uncomfortable doing that. I hesitated in the beginning and then I started to think that I will not look good in front of him and then the overthinking paralyzed me and stopped me to start the conversation that I wanted to make. I have read before about a method that would help me start the conversation, but I did not implement it in this case and I regret that lost moment.
You can see me as the person who is in front of the food, but is still starving to death because of the hesitations that are preventing me to eat the food, in this case implement what I learned before. I regret that I let that paralyze happen to me, even though I knew an approach how should I behave in the beginning.
Now let me talk to you about this method, which is really simple, and maybe you had the opportunity to hear about it. I have been practicing this type of method unconsciously in the past, but did not practice it yesterday though I read a whole article about it.
It suggests you that in the first seconds that you meet a person, you must not think twice whether you should talk to him or her or not, but go and make the initial step of the first conversation, because it can result with new connections that may be followed by enormous opportunity. It might sound unbelievable, but it is true. You might not trust my words and go and test it with someone that you want to talk. At least, what’s the worst thing that could happen?
Learn from that mistake (unfortunately it was not the only one) that I did yesterday and start to implement this method of creating new relationships if you are willing to make new connections with other people.
