But once you do overcome your initial embarassment and talk about those subjects, some people may be very receptive to PD ideas if they respect you as a person and know that you don't generally say stupid things. And if you find a person that understands and supports you, you'll experience great satisfaction, and a warm feeling that you're not alone in your thoughts.
Which is why I like this board :-) |
I personally think that you are responsible for the people that you associate yourself with. Personal development and setting big goals happens to be a subject I really enjoy talking about and have been fortunate to surround myself with friends of both sexes that share such ambitions. I also find that if you steer a conversation in a certain direction you can find peoples underlying ambitions and goals and almost anyone will lose themselves in describing them to you, if you are willing to listen.
So my advice, work with the friends you have, or get new ones
