		<description>I&#039;m guessing you guys never heard of the word &#039;acting&#039; before. It&#039;s quite easy to be someone your not. In fact, most of us act nothing like our real selves in public. While there are various reasons for our different acts, the fact remains that these persona&#039;s prevent us from forming proper relationships with each other. And then there are people like me, who just don&#039;t like people in general.</description>

		<description>Every thing I have ever read about establishing personal connections and relationships has said something very similar -- I&#039;m saving &#039;Never Eat Alone&#039; for the plane, but I imagine I will see it there as well.

That idea makes sense though.  Most people avoid confrontations, so when Mr. A dons the persona of Big-Shot Cool, people are not going to actively challenge his ego.  By that same token, I am much less likely to stop my conversation and directly ask the opinion of Ms. Shy-and-Timid who has never made eye contact with anyone, and is sitting in an obviously closed-up manner...I would instead continue talking to Ms. Open-and-Gregarious, who looks directly at who she speaks (with confidence), stands with arms uncrossed, and is clearly not intimidated by a social setting.

I also looked into &#039;The Third Jesus,&#039; and it definitely looks like an interesting book.</description>
