Amazing Invitation to Conversation

You ever been in a setting where there are the popular types and the really engaging and fascinating types as well as the boring types?

Those in the boring types tend to keep themselves to themselves because they have acknowledged their status as boring and having acknowledged it, they dare not aspire to anything beyond that.

What is really intriguing and truly touching is when those fascinating types who could be with anyone they wanted, actually chooses to have a conversation with the boring types. Chooses to spend time not just to talk about their own fascinating life, but genuinely pay interest into the life of that boring type. Not just doing it out of obligation, but taking an interest. Listening. Engaging. Conversing.

Before too long the apparently boring person turns out to be fascinating all along, just not in the conventional way. That’s not their loss, though. Neither is it the loss of that fascinating type of character either.

All from an amazing invitation to a conversation.

Not that I would know, of course …
