Background Characters in the Play of Life

I've been training for a 5K, but I don't really run. Until now. Because I'm not good at it I keep improving.

But I'm not perfect. I can't run a 4-minute mile. Because of this, I don't want to look bad.

I care what people think when I do stuff I'm not good at. It's my Type 1 on the Enneagram, I don't want to be wrong or make a mistake.

While I ran, I looked at the people driving by me. I got barely a glance.

Why? Because no one cares about this guy running down the side of the road or sidewalk. We live in our own little bubbles. 90% of the time you're either a background character or seeing others as background characters.
