BUT YOU ARE AMAZING!

brb punching out your social anxiety >:(

plus, ignore this if it's unwanted/awkward because i have no tact but lemme know if you wanna talk about it/vent? & feel free to do so. you have my email, etc :)

ityellsback October 11 2011, 22:30:29 UTC

hey, no, I'm pretty okay now, and if it was awkward I would not be leaving this shit on a social site. I just needed a place to be like BLAGH FEELINGS for a second. and I know I'm awesome, which is why this is so fucking ridiculous! I know people like me! I know I am clever and occasionally funny and interesting to talk to and shit!
but for some reason that does not translate into "being a functional human being that talks to other humans in real life and not just on the internet".

ALSO THANK YOU SO MUCH
it means a lot :)

well i am glad that it is under control-ish? i do agree that social interaction is difficult as all hell sometimes and there is sadly no rulebook for it :/

also: anytime!

I'm sure you're an amazingly awesome person because we're friends now, and all my friends are amazingly awesome people.

Would it help a bit if I offered a hug?

thank you *hugs back*
I'm excited to be friends and be awesome together.

Ahhh this is the story of my life. Like I feel like I'm failing at everything all the time and that people will think I'm dumb, even though somewhere in my head I know that I'm smart and that people like me.

ityellsback October 12 2011, 08:02:43 UTC

RIGHT, EXACTLY.

ityellsback October 12 2011, 08:08:26 UTC

man, how come making friends with people here isn't as easy as making friends with you? that would be amazing. then I would have a pile of friends.

ladymercury_10 October 12 2011, 14:46:09 UTC

Awww. I'm sorry. Do you not have a cafeteria? Because I think running into each other in the cafeteria was sort of how we became friends. Like we met because of class, but then we would see each other at dinner and such. Ah, sophomore year...now I have nostalgia. I must be getting old.

Or do you just not get along with them? Or are they not very friendly? In any case, there are a pile of friends waiting for you when you return.

Speaking of which, my writer's forum is this term and I was writing an email last night to invite people and then I realized you were in London and couldn't come. Sad times!

Yeah, I get like that too sometimes, especially if I'm going somewhere without having backup (read: trying to make new friends irl). It's easy to get psyched out no matter how awesome you are (and I'm pretty awesome, if I do say so myself /smugface).

Glad you're feeling better!

ityellsback October 12 2011, 08:07:42 UTC

yeah, that's just the problem, I can be okay if I have backup, other friends with me, whatever, and I do completely fine if I'm being INTRODUCED to someone, but I'm in a new city right now and I don't know anyone and it's all turning into kind of a disaster.
which sucks, because it would be a really cool city if I knew anyone.
I think I need to get my shit together and go join some clubs at the college union or something.
and thank you!
and also you totally are awesome. everybody here is awesome. it's like an awesome party. of awesome.
