Lego

One of my very wise friends once said that everyone is like a piece of Lego. Some people are like the big green board. They have a lot of bumps which means that they can accomodate many other pieces of lego. These are the people who have tons of friends, are always surrounded by people and love to make new friends. They make new friends with great ease and never seem to have enough relationships around them. Then there are the long skinny pieces that can accomodate quite a number of other pieces. Just like lego pieces get fewer and fewer "bumps" some people come with fewer and fewer social "pegs" I have often thought that I am like one of those two prong pieces. Not that I literally only need two relationships but I am the type of person who although I enjoy the company of others I really only desire true relationships with a very few people. The people around me may not agree with this statement because I am by nature a very social person who enjoys getting to know new people. I have a genuine desire to find out personal information and important information about the people around me I just have no desire to recipricate this.
