Just a thought: listen to who other people compare you to. I'm trying to avoid giving out too many details here, but:

Today, my family met with an old lady who we haven't seen for years. Over the course of conversation, she said that as soon as she saw me, she reminded me of a certain person. Now in this case I had run across that person before and become instantly friends because we recognized each other. But since I am not a very social person, think about how we would have missed each other if we hadn't run into each other on our own.
