Musings for the new year

[laurewyrm]

So, I have finally identified a personality quirk (disorder) in myself that I am positive has damaged my chance at great friendships.  I have always known that I blow things out of proportion easily, and I have a tendency to exaggerate, but I never realized how that might affect how I feel about people

...I read this and had a horrible giggling fit. It's so applicable to my day right now, sweartogod.

Glad you noticed this, and best luck on changing it. :)

good one! I guess i never noticed that about you (mostly because you tend to agree with my own assessment of people) but now that I think about it, you're not probably far off. I wonder if I do the same.

I am pretty bad about the pigeonholing. I tend to take one iffy action or statement from a person and turn it into a reason to write them off. If I know them reasonably well I can generally just shrug anf go "Well, that's _______". Personality quirks aren't always bad though, sometimes they are the reason your friends love you so much. :)

Nothing much to say about this, except I'm glad you noticed it? I thought I'd already responded to your entry, so I feel like I've forgotten what I wanted to say.

Anyway, miss you! We should get together soon!

I am have been meaning to contact you for some time now. I need some help with sewing and you are the go-to girl for this stuff. I have a couple of dresses i need to get fixed. Can you help?

Oh, and we all blow things out of proportion. As soon as I realize i am doing it I call trish, blow off steam and then after I rant for a little bit I ask for a reality check. Sometimes i blow thigns so out of proportion, I don't even know why I'm mad.
