You need to temper your idealism with some realism. Too much of either is a bad thing.

[analise_emue]

I agree, although I think I'm more realistic than you (whoever you are) probably think...

Our friendship has suffered a lot recently. I don't think I will ever feel entirely comfortable around you again, and it's sad.

[analise_emue]

Aw, that *is* sad! I wish I knew who posted this so I could make things better. I wonder what I've done to make you less comfortable.

If you want to talk about this with me, please do. Maybe we can fix this?

[analise_emue]

I keep thinking about this one... I feel really bad and I wish I knew who you were. I can't imagine what I might have done to make you feel less comfortable and I can't even think of who might think our friendship has suffered *a lot* recently. This kind of really scares me, because apparently I don't know when I'm hurting a friendship or upsetting someone..

Please please come talk to me about this? I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable around me. ):

Andrea, I am worried that you are taking this too seriously. People post this "tell me a secret" meme accepting that they will get anonymous comments, from people who do not want to reveal their true identities. It's a given. People say more brazen things when they are anonymous, and I am certain that most of the things posted on this (and on my own post) are not 100% serious...people probably exaggerate and dramatize what they say to vent frustration. Look at what you posted - it really alarmed me for a few hours, but I've sort of accepted that Livejournal drama is NOT cause for stress. I have said things like this to you before ("our friendship has suffered" etc.) but such things are said when releasing pent-up frustration. I want you to calm down and stop worrying about these comments, because ultimately anonymous internet posts are almost a guarantee for meanness and drama, and are not something which should affect your happiness.

I think that you think that I only care about myself, but I really do take you into account when I make decisions.

[analise_emue]

This really puzzles me, because I can't think of who would take me into account when making decisions..

Hmm. I guess that's the problem.

Moshai thinks that you smell MORE like old cheeses than Tyler thinks that Vikram smells like old cheeses.

[analise_emue]

I stand by my earlier statement that Moshai isn't what I would call the most intelligent creature. *CLEARLY* Tyler is more correct in his assertion that Vikram smells more like smelly old cheeses than Moshai is in thinking that I smell more like old cheese than Tyler thinks that Vikram smells like old cheese...

Wait. Now I've confused myself. Drat. D:

[anonymous]

Moshai said you would say that.

[analise_emue]

Since when did Moshai become so good at predicting the future?

..If I make a wish and shake him will he tell me if my wish will come true? Signs point to yes!

You're too closed-off to too many people and too open with too few.

[analise_emue]

I don't think I understand the second part of this sentence. too open with too few? I should be more 'too open' with more people? Wouldn't being 'too open' be a bad thing?

There are too many toos in there, too. I think.

[darius409]

I was wondering about that sentence, too.

Oops. I should have anonymized myself.

I WAS NOT THE ONE POSTING MOSHAI'S THOUGHTS AND PREDICTIONS.

[anonymous]

Maybe they mean you should be less open but with more people?

I don't really know.

I do think you're difficult to get close to though. I know I've had trouble, but I don't really hold it against you so much as blame myself.
