IIt's hard to tell if I fear certain types of people or if I just don't know how to strike up a conversation
I would have to say that fear is a great motivator for me I have always found that the more I fear something the more I am willing to try to understand it and then if I want to be a part of it but today was hard because I was with my boyfriend and we were out with his professional friends who are all different types of fine artists all masters in their field who have been accepted by the art world and have managed to make a name for themselves which is wonderful for them but what do I have to offer in that conversation and how do I become involved in the conversation. There were several times when my boyfriend actively tried to bring me into the conversation with topics that I knew about and to be honest I was pretty good with it we talked about music mostly classical and then we made the conversation later and talked about different types of foods we liked and other things that made the conversation fairly easy and when I found was even though initially I had a fear come into this conversation the people we're not only nice but they were also intelligent and able to make me feel good about being a part of the group so sometimes fear doesn't have to be so scary
