This is a good story but you know some people are not friendly or let me use the term social, some strangers have fear sometimes when you would like to say something or help them in a certain way.

Two super-smart guys chatting on topics they know something about. Not knowing about anything, it was typically discouraging like listening in on any conversation I couldn't possibly join in on. They said F stands for fusion of self with negative thoughts about the possible conversation instead of not owning them. E- expectations ie of having to high standards of successful chat. A- avoidance of the fear instead of pushing through it. R-remoteness. or not having values or opinions and so being less interested in topics. Yeah, well, so they're saying not having FEAR is a skill rather than being a genius?
