Have you ever felt like a fish out of water, a bull in a China shop...? Is everyone around you talking the same language and it is all flying over your head and landing God alone knows where! Have you been feeling this way for some time now? If yes, you have some issues to be tackled and sorted out NOW. If no, then you are on top of the world. You have nothing to worry about. It is the former persona that needs some long deserved attention.
It is quite possible that this person has had an emotionally neglected childhood, has a poor sense of self worth and is still struggling to come to terms with the world. Everyday is a new revelation and he discovers things that have never struck home at the right time. For example the mysteries of social networking, even at 40, bewilders him no end! It can never be as simple as smiling and chatting away or lifting a phone at a whim and reconnecting! Even a simple action as calling someone over the phone will be loaded with worrying questions such as,"will they remember me?", "they may think that I have some underlying motives to call", "suppose they don't want to talk to me?" etc., etc., etc....
Why is it that some people find themselves out of sync most of the time? These are also the people who, at the best of times, can out do themselves on the social front by transforming into a socialite at short notice, shining bright like a moth before it snuffs itself out! This person can be the life of the party, can deliver the most eloquent of speeches, can shoot out witty repartees and attract a lot of admiration by his/her very attractive personality and respectable demeanour. The very same person can clam up irrevocably, taking people by surprise as his/her personality suggests otherwise. He/she shrinks away from any type of social activty. He/she sticks to the tried and tested way of life, never wanting it any other way. He/she is comfortable with only people closest and known for a very long time, spouse, parent, sibling, best friend, co worker...people whom he/she meets every other day. Even the suggestion of doing something new, meeting strangers, not sticking to the plan can bring about nervous tantrums that will confound the common person. All these trifles only contribute to the breaking down of existing 'comfortable' relationships and further corrodes the quality of life surrounding these poor, confused personalities. They are caught up in a vicious cycle of destruction and they need help from the people closest to them.
Just imagine a socially inhibited personality wedded to an out going extrovert who needs to be surrounded by people all the time; the adventurous kind looking out for social possibilities at every turn; the attention hungry omnivore...
What do you foresee before the total annihilation?
