Building on the last couple of weeks of relationship banter, I had a big question in my mind over the weekend on approachability. How do we make ourselves more accessible to other people? How do we stop putting up walls and encourage people to connect?
When we connect with people in a genuine way, we create a one that makes us feel like we apart of something bigger than us. Because we are able to relate to that other person. And we realize that we aren’t the only person in our given situation. We have company. And that’s what connects us, bonds us, and makes us one of the trip.
Sharing your current situation with someone may open up the door to other possibilities you never thought might of existed. And it all starts with being approachable.
When we look at how we are different than someone else, we create a wall between us, because we can’t relate anymore. But when we search out the things that we have in common, once again we are back in the tribe.
What does all this have to do with accessibility and approachability? When we show our unrefined side and things about ourselves we “think” we don’t like, it actually makes it easier for someone to connect.
They recognize either:
A) He/She has the same issue I’m deal with or....
B) He/She has something they’re dealing with.
In both situations we’ve become more approachable because we were willing to show them that side of ourselves.
How likely are you reach out or approach someone when you see they are in the same situation you are?
