Maybe the takeaway here is to be cautious with people who talk/think to highly of themselves, especially when we don’t know them well enough.

It is a silly example, but a few days ago me and my family were sitting in this sort of beer garden with lots of food trucks, we had ordered our food from other trucks and we were playing a giant Jenga game and then we heard this guy from a food truck bragging about his burgers. Like people were raving about them and this and that. After a while my son asked me to get him one, and at first I was “I wish I would be like that guy, generally speaking I never say I’m good at nothing.”

The point is, then the next day, or a few days later we are talking and he tells me, “the hamburger was Ok, nothing to brag about” (he added the fries were actually good), and hearing him brag about the burger, he also wanted to try them.

So, in short, maybe we need to act with caution when someone offers too much or talks to highly of themselves. If something is too good to be true, it probably is.

Hang in there, you are a great person. And then with relationships, sometimes I feel it’s about endurance. I mean, it’s like going on a road trip, it will be monotonous most of the time, but every now and then you’ll see something that will take your breath away. Of course, no one in their own mind will tell you “c’mon, be my girlfriend, it will be boring most days than not, but every few months we’ll have a moment of laughter!”

But sometimes those moments are worthy.

Safety and a reasonable level of comfort (to feel safe and comfortable with someone), that is what I ask from people. Kind of like flying. And hopefully every once in a while I’ll get upgraded to first class!

Thank you for sharing.
