Brand New

It is August, so that means the summer is officially over. Now it's just time to reflect back on the new people you have met, the ones you already know but they acted like they didn't know you and time to get your phone contact back to normal. This topic is about people who act "Brand New" when they see you. Like they never had a conversation with you or saw you before.

We all have twitter, facebook, instagram etc. Some type of social media that allows us to make new friends all across the world. We may never see some of these people in person but we do have casual conversations with them sometimes. When you do see someone for the 1st time face to face and not via a social network, what is the first thing you do? Maybe walk up to them and say hi right? Some people are really not that confident about being the first to walk up to someone. Yes sometimes I have caught myself saying hi to people who aren't the ones I have little chats with but it's part of life. Honestly, some people don't look like their pictures. (Thank you instagram for the false advertisement)  So I understand if some people are afraid to say hi sometimes.

Sometimes though people know exactly how you look and just refuse to acknowledge you like they have never met you before. So why is this person acting "brand new"? Who knows. Sometimes you just have to not think about it so much. The same people who act "brand new" are the same people who will reach out to you later when something that involves you come up. We just have to remember that the people we meet via social networks don't come across the same when you meet them in person.
