Are you certain that people view others as tools/obstacles? What does it mean to view someone as a tool/obstacle? From what I can tell, all human interaction is an attempt to gain something; otherwise, you wouldn't be doing it. You gain something, whether that is knowledge, money, goods and services, or just a pleasant sensation, among other things. Does it mean you view them as a tool/obstacle, when you interact with them, with the intention to gain something? Is it possible to not view someone as a tool/obstacle when interacting with them, knowing that all interaction is inherently designed to gain something?

Hello everyone. I hope you are doing well. I thought it was a good time to introduce myself. In fact, I feel very uncomfortable talking about myself. I thought it a good idea to introduce myself, before I go about, willy-nilly, asking questions. Who am I, that people should care to give me answers? Well, if I don't introduce myself, how will anyone know. I think too much. That is probably the most important thing about me. I may share more, as I become comfortable here; or, I may not.
