Night 2 - Bungalow 8
It was cold. It was rainy. I missed quota. However I did learn a good lesson. Get rid of social crutches. What is a social crutch? It's anytime you make a fake excuse to talk to somebody. For example, a fairly "safe" way to talk to someone is to ask them something like "Do you know any other good bars around here?". It's quite rare that you will ever be rejected by saying this but it is equally rare that any meaningful interaction will arise when you start a conversation in that manner. You have to internalise the belief that "I am enough". When this is done then you realise that you don't have to pretend to be something that you are not. You don't have to make a fake excuse to talk to the person. You don't have to say anything particularly witty or clever. Something I will work on for next time.
