superficiality as a symptom of deep seated insecurity




Because of something a friend wrote I've been thinking about relationship today. Specifically about how superficiality is often a symptom of deep seated insecurity. Because our culture worships the sophomoric aping of trends and wit it took me a while to learn that true and meaningful relationship with other human beings require time, patience and commitment. As a result, I don't go there often or lightly.  My inner circle is small and when I die very few people will notice. I'm okay with that. That being said, I do think it's sad when relationships suffer because people are so crippled with insecurity that they're unable to reach beyond the baggage of who they think they are, and who they've superficially decided other people are, to even try. Especially since neither assessment is probably very accurate.
