Boys Who Like Boys, With Their Hands in Their Pockets; Silent

In the middle of encouraging a friend to be less shy, and not fear rejection so much, I had an epiphane. I've always been shy. Me? Shy? Yes. Shyness is a fear of approaching people, of saying the wrong thing, of being rejected. Just because I am proactive and have to deal with this everyday, does not mean that I don't fear it any less.

well maybe you remember me coming off as slutty
and never being able to keep anyone longer than a few weeks

i thought my current relationship would be just as transient as before
we met of the internet
and had sex the first night
but for some reason there was something different that i've never encountered
i didn't go looking for it, but i ended up changing IN THE PROCESS and not BEFORE this realization
so just let it happen and allow your "neediness" to resolve itself
put it on the table first thing so that both of you are aware

You shy? Hmm... Then I must be the biggest pussy in the world when it comes to confrontation. I had to skim your journal since I am at work but I will come back to it when I have the time. Thinking about you and the rest of beautiful Ann Arbor.

"I have my best friends, and I have friends. But when have I last seen you all? No one calls me to go out. No one calls me to do anything. No one seems to seek me out. I made a promise to myself a long time ago that I would no longer desire someone for a friend, that they would have to desire me as their friend
