What Happens When Being Not Interested In Others?

When I wasn’t really into other people, I couldn’t build or keep any relationships. But honestly, that wasn’t even the biggest deal—I was also missing out on learning from others. It happened because I was acting like people didn’t matter, sometimes even thinking they weren’t worth my time, and putting myself on a pedestal like I was the only one who counted. That mindset blinded me to how awesome others are and the amazing knowledge and experiences they bring.

Once I saw the error of my ways, I started getting genuinely curious about people—their passions, hobbies, and what makes them tick. Now, before meeting someone, I do a little homework on who they are, what they’re into, and what drives them. I think about them beforehand, and when we meet, I can chat easily, whether it’s light small talk or deep, meaningful conversations, no sweat!
