4 Types of People. That’s it.

Givers, Takers, The Smart Ones and The Super Smart Ones. I wish I knew earlier — great parents fall into the last category.

When I was young, I thought I needed to achieve.

When I was young, I was taught to be nice to others.

What I needed all along was to connect.

Why did all this come flooding back? I was recently watching something interesting on TV tidbits. Apparently, with COVID cases on the decline in the US, sales of hand sanitizer and comfortable sweat pants are on the decline. On the other hand- lip gloss, beard grooming kits and teeth whitening strips are on the increase.

I chuckled — left to ourselves, cocooned in our homes, we often prioritize being comfortable over making an impression. Yet, when things start to open up, our urge to connect triumphs comfort.

Can the urge to connect be a kernel for a thought?

We have numerous ways to classify people. Never stumbled upon one that pivots around our human need to connect.

There is strong relationship between how connected we feel based on how others treat us.
