Um. Perhaps I'm in denial, but I just don't think so... I'm kind of a recluse, really. |
Not so much maybe. In situations where I am forced to be social, I overcompensate. Otherwise, you can find me in my hidey hole.
As a matter of fact, because the alcohol was flowing last night alot of people were doing the old "I love you, man" thing and someone told me that she feels blessed to have met me because I'm so real and honest and open with people.
I had to tell her that it might appear that way, but I feel like this inside.

Honestly, depending on circumstances, I can be very shy around people I don't know, at least at first. Not so with anyone here really but we had all "met" either here or in chat or via email and stuff before the face to face part. But ask Jmiller how many times I almost backed out of meeting them for the first time in Charlotte because of that "not good enough" thing.....I think we all go through that sometimes.

Those moments of clarity sure sneak of you you, don't they? I had one of those this weekend, where I was forced to take a closer look at me. I hereby call it the "Squeegee of Ignorance." I was listening to some NPR thing about the psychology of substance abuse, and most abusers are generally happy to be ignorant about the effect their substance use has on loved ones...interesting.
I think whatever you are grappling with, it helps to be stupid and ignorant of what effect your actions have on your loved ones, but even more are the effects your poor choices have on the core of you. The Id, I think.
What were we talking about? Need some more coffee.
