Giving Up

[bluecherrybomb]

Hm. I went to the counselor yesterday and we talked about how I've given up over the years. She told me she deals with a lot of people who over-perform in life to please people but I'm doing the opposite. I'm pushing people away at such a rate because I've given up now on friendship

The world is very strange indeed. Half the time, it makes no sense to me either. I too have been struggling with a few of my friendships. With my friend, Miguel, he feels like he can say whatever to me and I'm not supposed to react negatively at all, then when I do, he asks me what my problem is. We don't get along too well outside of the tv shows we watch and games we play. He's too blunt and I'm to sensitive. It's not easy at all having a friendship with him, nor do I really understand him. So I can, in a way, relate to what you said about not understanding people or emotions

Yeah, I'm pretty sensitive too about things and relationships like that just... confuse me. Because I don't know what to say. What do you say? And then people tell you you're socially inept and you get even more confused.

And I'm taking your advice, ha ha. I figure you are right. Maybe getting involved with people who share my hobbies will work. Eventually. So far, I think I'm going to just be sitting around for a while with no responses but maybe someone will hit me up.

Talk to me instead, Amanda! I'm genuinely interested in what you have to say :3

Aha... I don't think I have much interesting things to say to be honest.

It is hard when you're that person. But I'm glad you have a good attitude about it!

And sometimes I wonder if there is someone else out there who will listen. There may be 7 billion people on earth, but our cultures all separate us into basically smaller groups. Then when you filter your interests, it gets smaller. Then you're stuck sitting there quietly wondering... *sighs*
