Whose responsibility is it?
A woman is sitting on her own. She is new to town and knows no one. She does not even have family with her.
Whose
responsibility is it to initiate an interaction. Is it hers to
introduce herself or for others to approach her? Assuming she has a
level of courage in this scenario, relationships could form even if no
one approached her because she can make the first move.
But
what if this lady has been experiencing some trauma in her life or
something else that is causing her to hold back, to not make the first
move? What if she is has a bad reputation or is physically
unattractive? What if her personality is different? What if she has
low self-esteem? What if she finds it hard to trust people due to how
she has been treated in the past?
Is it fair to suggest it was her responsibility if no interaction occurred?
What if this lady was you?
