<<set alert("And sometimes instruction isn't clear. That's ok too.")>>Talking with strangers can be difficult. That’s because you’re so caught up in everyone's “person” -- beyond social convention, beyond decorum and niceties, and then further.
You're caught up in the potential of another individual, the potential of another human with private thoughts and histories and motivations born from their thumbprint of a brain.<br>
[[We are complex creatures!|we are complex creatures!]]Knowing what you do about yourself, you wonder what there is to know about others. You lie sometimes, you even used to lie a lot. How often are other people lying?
There are other things you do too. You deflect, evade, project, revere, denounce. You’re usually aware of these things. <br>
[[Are other people aware?]]
You consider others’ perspectives a lot. Too frequently? What is it to consider another's perspective? Sometimes you think "considering others' perspectives"

[[Open chest]]When will you learn about yourself?
[[Or do you learn about yourself through others?]]Will people understand you if and when you are still understanding yourself? When you're still understanding them?
