Sincerity
Someone said it’s hard to find people who seem sincere when you talk to them. Do other people have the same experience? And if that’s true, what might lead to a lack of sincerity in a person?
Some of my thoughts: Who is sincere? One imagines a very caring person, one who really sees each person as an individual human, as someone who will be caring when talking to all kinds of people. On the other hand, self-centeredness will make a person insincere. When there is a preoccupation with filling ones own needs, there isn’t much energy left to really focus outwards, on someone else, and sincerely care about who they are.
Maybe a lack of sincerity can also come from being hurt one too many times. In that case you also feel the need to focus inward in order to protect yourself.
Thoughts? If there is truth in this, how does it affect people’s dating experiences?
Oh, also if you aren’t happy with where you’re at in life, you might not be able to focus on the here and now and if the here and now is a person standing across from you at a party… Well, it ain’t gonna work.
