Many years back, my mom and I were talking about her trip to Home Depot that day. The line was long and slow so she and the guy behind her started making small talk. Soon, they were sitting in lawn chairs in the checkout line, moving them up as needed, talking to make time pass.
I love this story. Mostly because I think the chair idea is brilliant but I also love that my mom has never known a stranger.
I love to start conversations with people. I am an extrovert so sitting with strangers at the hibachi grill or at the bar doesn't faze me. I have no problem talking to people I do not know and it never occurred to me that some people didn't think this was normal. Until I spent time with an introvert.
They say opposites attract and there's a reason for that: you admire the traits you see in them that you don't have but after a while, if you don't have enough similarities, I think it's easy to almost suffocate the others personality. I have had some amazing conversations lately with amazing girl friends. The subject of opposites has come up in almost every conversation so I thought I'd blog about it!
I know that there are couples out there who are total opposites and are happy and going strong but since this has been the similar discussion in many conversations I thought I'd ask your thoughts on the subject!
