We've all felt disconnected from people at certain moments in our lives. At speed dating parties, during lunch hour at work, at bible study, during a conversation with friends.
The image above represents what happens internally to two people when they are not "vibing" with each other.
Example One:
I remember I was sitting in a theater watching The Incredibles at the Century City Shopping Center. I didn't laugh once, while apparently lots of people in the audience found many moments of the movie to be chuckle-out-loud funny.
Example Two:
I was at a small group meeting in Redondo Beach, and I told a girl I had majored in English. She responded by saying, "I don't like reading." This from a UCLA graduate.
Example Three:
I was at someone's home, sitting at a table eating, and somehow the conversation turned toward living in an apartment.
I said I'd rather live in a studio because it's cheaper and because I don't require that much space. One person said in response that studio's aren't for him because when people sleep over, you get no privacy. And other people at the table starting nodding their heads in agreement.
I don't usually have people come over. Like Randy Moss (pictured below).
According to the latest issue of Sports Illustrated, Moss, the most prized wide receiver in the NFL, rarely has guests and professes to be ruthlessly self-sufficient.
Kobe prefers to go it alone and is oft-maligned as a loner.
One of the reasons I enjoy reading about public figures like Bryant or Randy Moss is because sometimes I feel I can relate to their personalities, and the ways in which they cope with the world.
