I wish I could be more mysterious. every time I meet someone new I end up telling them my whole story. The reason is because if I don't, they assume false facts. I recently transferred to a new store. I was already in my current position for the past 9 months, and could not stand the fact that people might think I'm new and don't know what I'm doing. Why can't I just work hard and let them assume what they want? Why do I care about what people think? They don't sign my paychecks.
When I tell someone about my current relationship, I feel like they assume this is the longest relationship I've been in, so I feel the need to tell people about my previous, five year relationship. I have to spill my every secret and experience. I have to tell them about my party days, the 30 pounds I lost, my ex going to prison, my family problems, my job history, my charter school education, my zodiac, and holy crap, so much more.
Why can't I just say "Hello" and let them wonder? Maybe I think I'm cool. Maybe I'm just an extremely open person. No, that's not it. I definitely just care too much about the opinions of EVERYONE. Like it matters.... I'm gonna work on creating some form of mystery about myself. Just like in a relationship where you make the other person chase you, I am going to play hard to get... with strangers. ;)
