interesting......just finished reading an article about this - said it was subconsciously, the "scent" of the other person 😉
Went out last night and before I knew it, I was closer to some guy that I did not know...he pulled me too him. In this case, I was "pulled" and became "closer." hehe..... then.....he asks me to marry him!
I understand what you say. I might have explained this a bit wrong you know.
Yeah when you take things as one person vs. one person, shared interests seem to be decisive part. But when we think about more than one person, then shared interests might have secondary importance. For example, you can meet other people through the ones that you do not have much things to share. You might even dont want to see them once again, but meeting them just for this is advantageous. After all you meet more other people that you have more common things. At this point, we have to decide: "which one is more important, meeting people according to shared interests or meeting people just for the sake of it". And that's what I'm actualy asking.
"Apologies Haffo - this is my way of saying, 'I am not smart enough to give an answer'. But I liked the topic, so I wanted to add something to it in the hope that a smarter person would join in."
Not that I mean you are doing something wrong. I'm just saying this to let you know that I'm aware of what happening here and there is no point in playing fool game with me.
"I am still pondering this part; "which one is more important, meeting people according to shared interests or meeting people just for the sake of it"
yeah, i think sometimes you have to meet or be with people whether you want to or not. That's life. You can be in a crowd, and still not connect. That's not really shared interests, however..but you're still corgial and tolerant. Shared interests is different, a collective meeting of minds; people who like the same fun or interests, as you. But shared interests can only take you so far; in the end, perhaps shared values and how you may see the world on a bigger scale, as well, comes into play.
You're so very fortunate solitas; most likely, many haven't been so lucky to experience half of what you have; so many flavours of wonderful, colorful people; you should write or journalize, would be an amazing read, i bet..lol*! ..i'm also a people watcher; maybe get a lil star-struck sometimes, so wish i could meet some famous or influential people someday too; you never know! 😉
"How would I meet these people 'just for the sake of it'?"
Well, you just do it...without a reason. Well there are actually a reason, but not a real one. The real one comes when you meet and talk with them. Maybe this way?
"For me, this is very rare - I always have a reason that is a 'need'. "
Everything is double sided I think. If you have a reason you will meet people. If you don't have a reason, you meet people and find one. In either case, action should be done.
You know I'm 26 and this is not much time spent in this world I can say. But I know this. Everything is double sided. Everything comes in two sides. Bad and good. A person might seen bad for you, but there is also a good side of them and probably at the same amount. This is what I see you know. Sometimes when we make such "useless" actions, we learn something. I've never found such experiences bad so far. Everytime something new happens. This is good. And as result, I also say this: Wisdom brings actions, and actions bring wisdom. Whichever of those ones we choise, we shouldnt afraid of change.
"I think this is truly beautiful. It might explain why people we are connected to on a higher level, can 'feel' when something is wrong, or when we are thinking about them."
i so agree with this DC; i believe close connections with others never die..'everything's for a reason, there really are few coincidences in life. Even thinking or praying for someone when they are weak or ill or depressed has been shown to have a positive effect..'there is an energy there; no doubt..
i think fate may play a large part too; maybe we're 'supposed' to meet or connect with certain people for certain reasons; to learn something, discover something, to give something back.. 'people can learn alot about themselves, through each other.'
Ah.....haffo, just simply stating the truth. You asked a question seeking "answers"...there are none. Opinions, yes.
In my opinion, we each come together because we choose to. We are energy and we attract to us what we need. It's delightful to be a witness to our attractions 😉
What I find to be unique to the Pisces specimens is that whenever I share stories about events that have happened in my life - they tear up and not just once. He is a very emotional Pisces (nothing wrong with that! - he just "is"). Honestly, we are just really good friends who hang together once in awhile and enjoy the goofy moments of life.
What brings people closer? (Hmmm. . .) I don't know. For me, I always manage to connect with some of the people I meet. I really doubt that it's because I'm really attractive physically. I guess thru open communication mainly.
