They are just people.  Those people who you feel are better, smarter, faster, richer, more deserving than you – they are just people.

They are funny, mean, shy, sad, energetic, unloving, cherished, small, compassionate, self-righteous, generous, and flawed – just like you.

So instead of imagining how they might respond to you and stressing about how to approach them or not talking to them at all, think about how you would like for someone to interact with you and do that.

You may just be surprised, because after all, they’re just people.
