internet vs. phone

[cathartist]

So i will try to keep this from being overtly melodramatic but i cannot make any promises, every once in awhile i get this woe is me feeling and i need to vent about it. And i tend to ramble so i apologize in advance for this lengthy diatribe

First, *hug*.

Then, DUDE! YOU HAVE THE POWER TO OVERCOME! =D (if nothing else, do what I do and try to email a few days before. ;)

Geez, and I thought you'd be out whooping it up in a limo full of strippers. I'm kind of disappointed in you.

Never would have guessed...

...that you would have a hard time picking up the phone to ask your friends if they wanted to get together. I always thought that you were the one who didn't cave into those types of fears or concerns.

I do however understand your predicament, but when it came to your friends, I never thought of you as lacking in self confidence. I do also understand the comfort level the internet is able to provide. If you get a "rejection" it's almost as if it is via a third party and not directly to you. I get that.

And as far as garnering pity, well you're entitled. Heaven knows you've listened to me enough times.

I think most people are probably just about as boring as you are, although a tad less self-pitying. =)

If you call someone up and say "I'm randomly driving an hour away to get a hot dog, want to join me?" then chances are that someone out there will think you're being spontaneous, not necessarily uncool.
