i've had an epiphany

[joncon07jc]

i've decided that i am sick of being forced to play psychiatrist when other people have their problems. or at least i'm going to start charging per hour, or per phone call. in all honesty, i have problems of my own, things to do of my own, and work to get done. i am not here for the universe to vent to. your problems are not my problems nor am i

so..um..yea..
Now that you've vented, can I call you? I need to talk to you about some stuff thats been bothering me ;-)

On a more serious note...if it matters, i think you do present "this strange, detatched "well-adjusted" problemless person" more than most people. I can relate to this because sometimes(always?) I feel i appear this way, but I really am not "well-adjusted" or problemless, I just hide all that shit...really well sometimes too. I'm realizing every day that I have more and more problems that I've just been putting off to the side and not dealing with them. More than you or anyone could imagine. Stuff I'm still not comfortable telling even my closest of close friends. Maybe someday i'll have the balls to do something about it, but right now i'm still lost.

umm...sorry, that was my attempt at in insightful reply at 3am, but I think i became your newest patient.

I hope this stays as funny as it is to me at 3am right now. Lata. Peace. :-P

You took the words right out of my mouth Jon, I hate playing psychiatrist as well. I serious think that people think I'm like a sign that says, "Come here, Jess will make everything go away!" I just get people one after the other, telling me to fix their lives, and I can't do that. People tell me I have a 'special talent' for talking to people and making them feel good about themselves/and or helping them with like everything! I'm like holding their hand for life, it's friggen insane! It's like they don't have a brain- I am their brain, I have to make all the choices for them, and I'm getting sick of it because this happens all the damn time! That's all I am to people, and I hate it! Ok... hahaha, Jess is done here, because I think I wrote you a book here, sorry Jon! = p

Boy Jon do I know how you feel. I have been my friends' psychiatrist since like 7th grade (officially at least, I'm pretty sure I was before that too :S). And it is a pain and I hate how some people expect to dump everything on you but not listen to you in return, but at the same time I do it (as I know you probably do) because you feel they need it. As much as you hate it, you are a nice person (:P ;)) and you don't like to see people go without someone to talk to. After all, why would you else would you listen to me blabber at 1am long distance about my life? Oh yeah we vent back and forth, but I think that may be the key. As long as someone will take on your problems, just as you take on theirs, its ok. Its when people decide to dump and run that it gets really annoying (and that is what most people end up doing :X).

Anyway I've started to ramble so I'll stop now. I'll talk to you soon, and you know that I'm not the only one who is able to make the long distance phone calls ;).
