Go ahead, get it off your chest. Just say it and purge it. Post anything that you want, and post it anonymously. Anything. Seriously... A story, a secret, a confession, a fear, a love - anything. Be sure to post anonymously and post honestly.

Post twice if you'd like. Then, put this in your LJ to see what your friends (and perhaps others who you ( Read more... )

i'm scared of people

qweltor May 11 2005, 00:33:38 UTC

Yeah, some of them are scary, sometimes.

But don't forget that sometimes, people are really cool, and nice, and loving.

But that's not as often as it could be. :o(

i think i'm the only person who gave you hugs after #12...i like clicking buttons. :)

thanks :o) qweltor May 18 2005, 02:43:38 UTC

I appreciate it.

I realize that I don't necessarily draw a lot of traffic to my LJ, so every clicks rubs me the right way.

And um, one night, I doubled someone's hugs on their "hugs" counter. That person started with sixty-three (or maybe sixty-four); there were a LOT more when I was done.

i wish i was a girl :(

My flippant response is to state, "Well, there are operations available for that sort of thing."

A more considerate response is realize that there are many other ways to cope with such desires, short of surgery or hormones. From my position, I can't honestly say which one would be most effective, but I hope that you will be able to find one that is satisfying to you.

It's a big more complicated than that. I have a lot of obligations as a man.

qweltor August 21 2005, 17:44:02 UTC

I'm curious how many of those obligations are based on culturally assigned norms (man versus girl), and how many of them are based on biology (male versus female).

Do you 'need' to make money to support a wife (or pay rent, etc), and is this something that only a "man" can do? Is your obligation to be a 'father figure' in someone's life, or is that something that can be done by a concerned, responsible adult.

You don't go into too much detail about what those obligations are. But what I think is more important is what you do in the face of these complications. Do you sit and pine away for a simpler, less complicated life? Or do you face the challenges ahead of you nonetheless, and deal with them appropriately?

The ease with which I pick up men that I get along with seems to be having an effect on my ability to actually like or love someone. Although I have friends and a lover or two at the moment, I find myself missing an ex from months ago although we never got too far. I've grown and matured in many ways and I think that I'm trying to make up for the inadequacy I had in that relationship by being increasingly sexy, daring, adventurous and in demand. Surrounded by people, I feel lonely and that I hate everyone. I just don't see anything spectacualr in people. We get along but I have no capability to love anymore, not since he threw me away. I'm trash. Smart, funny, fairly accomplished and capable, but trash.

"Surrounded by people, I feel lonely and that I hate everyone....I have no capability to love anymore, not since he threw me away. I'm trash. "
Many people have a similar sentiment. Uber-connected by cell phones, IMs and the information superhighway, but in many cases, also without honestly knowing the individual (and not in merely the conjugal sense).

You're not a one-hit-wonder, though if you perceive yourself to be that, one can very easily become exactly that. Shallow relationships are easy (in many different senses of the word); it's the meaninful ones that require more work. And even with a lot of work, they don't always work out (for many reasons beyond one's control.

You're smart, funny, fairly acomplished and capable...but trash mostly when you think of yourself as such.

Even though I don't know you, I gave you hugs cause you're my hero on UCB LJ. :D

qweltor September 22 2005, 06:59:43 UTC

:0)

Go me!! Heehee.

I don't particularly care if you're an asshat on UCB-LJ (um, the general you, not the specific you), but if I can't point and laugh, er, engage you in a discussion of why you are an asshat, um, engage you in a discussion about the position you post or appear to represent, I start to get anxious.

Thus my response twenty-one minutes later.
