My current status on aim asks whether I'm invisible or just easily forgettable. Sometimes it seems that it takes a twist of the arm or even an act of God for someone to acknowledge my presence or to even bother saying hey to me. Sometimes it really gets old being the one to initiate a conversation, both offline and online, but if I don't, the ( Read more... )

I feel really bad now-- because your first paragraph struck me, and I had to make sure I wasn't reading my own entry just in case. And by the end, I realized that I totally, one-hundred percent, fail at keeping in contact with people. And most of the time I just shift the blame.

I've just given up on people, now, really. The odd time I'll start a conversation (that will end after "how are you?" "good" with some people ¬_¬) but I'm just tired of having to start it all the time. On the odd occasion that someone does start one with me, I try to keep the conversation going, but it just seems like they don't give a flying pig.

Pessimistic and cynical? Yeah. But-- it gets me by.

I also feel bad because I do not have your up-to-date IM information, so even if I wanted to talk to you I couldn't =P (Although it dawns on me that I do have you on Facebook. *fails*)

And yes. I am going to post this, even if it does seem like a single moment of sympathy to you. I can't really change your opinion of my sympathy, and I'm not going to try.

I can relate to you on what you said about initiating conversations, etc. It feels like whenever I try to talk to someone I either kill the conversation, continually ask questions and chatter stupidly for it not to die, get into a really good conversation anticipating all the while for it to stop awkwardly, or I guess seem too stand-offish for people to think they can talk to me. I think for me that some of it is my fault for seeming, I guess, unapproachable, which I really don't want people to think of me that way, but I only respond to conversations that I find interesting. I don't know about you, but chit-chat drives me up the wall. I really could care less about what s/he did with him/her.

Sorry, for your crappy summer. I hope though that life gets better for you.

I read all of your entries, but I never find anything relevant to say in response. I don't really know you that well, so my comments probably mean very little; regardless, smile! Physically smile. It makes you feel better, I promise. And don't give up yet! Not everything is depressing, even though people fail most of the time.

Yeah. It seems the only reason I'm acknowledged, ever, is to be yelled at. And I hate it. Nobody really talks to me because they want to, they always want something in return.

And mothers? Mothers never do what they say they're going to. They hardly try. They just tell us what to do and order us around and act like we're the most ungrateful and stupid things ever if we actually say no.

The reason I don't talk to people, at all, is because I feel like I'm pushing myself on them. It doesn't seem like that when I actually talk to them, I don't act like that, but it always feels that way. And of course, nobody ever talks to me first. It always has to be me that starts everything.

What is your AIM, if you don't mind my asking? I really would like to talk to you again, and not just because of this, but I feel I've let certain friends go that I shouldn't have.
