Often we
find that getting to know people is the most petrifying thing. We walk into a
room and all these faces are staring at us and we freeze. Just saying hello to
someone is so hard, but why? Are we scared of what they are going to say to us,
what they think of us or that they going to judge us? I am sure that most of us
hate getting to know someone or taking that first step. It has to be done though.
As most of
you all know I am from Durban and I attended Varsity College. I then moved to
Cape Town and transferred to the Varsity College in Rondebosch. Obviously I was
nervous and afraid of what people may think of me and also coming into a class
of people who had been together for 3 years was frightening. To my surprise,
people were so welcoming and friendly and so helpful that I was really
overwhelmed.
I then
decided to come to Cape Town University of Technology to do my last year in
Public Relations and also coming into a class of people who had known each
other for a few years. Again to my surprise, I was so welcomed and everyone was
so friendly.
It might be
maybe because of our insecurities that we feel we cannot approach people or
maybe you are just shy. I know because I am really tall that some people feel
intimidated or I feel uncomfortable approaching them.
Whatever
your reason, take that first step, don’t be shy, be confident. People are not as bad as you think, trust me.
