People

For most of my childhood, I kept changing schools. My mother, being a government employee, was frequently transferred, which meant I was often placed in new environments. The first time, it felt unfamiliar, but eventually, I began to appreciate the rhythm of change.

Each new place gave me a blank canvas to work with, and each person I met became a fresh color to paint with.

No one reminded me of my past. No one held old mistakes against me.

And there was something exhilarating about that. Every new person brought an adrenaline rush. I put real effort into understanding what made them happy, what made them open up. It delights me to delight others.

I love seeing people’s eyes glow with joy, excitement, or surprise.

Interestingly, I’ve found that I connect differently depending on who I’m with.

With women, there’s often a subtle boundary that rises when they sense I’m entering personal space. But with men, the reaction is often the opposite. There’s curiosity, even enthusiasm. Maybe it’s because society usually expects men to take the first step.

When I do it instead, it feels different. Refreshing, even. And I come forward with energy and interest, eager to learn about them.

Still, I sometimes wonder if all of this is fair to the people I meet. I’m confused, too. Long-term relationships don’t come easily to me.

Once I feel I’ve explored all there is to explore, once the canvas is full, I find myself wanting something new again. It’s not that I don’t care. It’s just that the mystery is gone, and with it, some of the excitement.

But there’s one thing I know for sure: I’m exceptional at connecting with people. I can earn trust quickly, make others feel seen, and leave lasting impressions.

I’m good at reading emotions, navigating complex conversations, and solving problems, whether logically or intuitively.

I’m a people person, through and through.People are layered. Intriguing. Unpredictable. We are shaped by our interactions, our experiences, and our surroundings.

And I am endlessly fascinated by that. Of all the things I’ve tried to understand in life, people remain the most complex and beautiful puzzles of them all.
