Just a thought.

May 15, 2006 18:15

Okay, so this is sort of a random update but...i guess this is just something i've been thinking about recently. When i was little, meaning like middle school, i used to wonder how people could be claustrophobic. i loved the feeling of being close to someone, in every sense of the word. After some evolving, i've become a completely different person ( Read more... )

lol aww, i love you Alex!! And you're too pretty (in every way) to not want to get close to. :) See you Wednesday!

I know exactly how you feel.

waterytones May 15 2006, 22:58:17 UTC

i didn't even know you went to lj anymore!
It's good to know that 'cause i actually thought it was sort of weird that i completely changed like that.

"i don't know if this is an affliction that needs to be cured or if it's just an observation that requires nothing other than an acknowledgment of its existence"

I think the second. As far as I know, you can't force a "cure" on this kind of thing the way you can with polio or the flu. It goes away when it goes away, you know?

Well, this isn't something i think will "go away." It's part of me now...i was just wondering if it's something that i should be expending energy to get rid of.

No energy of yours, no. silencedsparrow May 16 2006, 04:48:03 UTC

It is part of you now, yes. But once, the feeling of wanting to touch everyone and everything was a part of you. It no longer is- so what's to say the same couldn't happen with this new "social claustrophobia?" That's a stupid moniker, I'm sorry, but I can't think of anything else right now.

I guess I said that from a glorious-man-will-sweep-you-off-your-feet perspective, but you and I both know you don't buy into that sort of stuff. What do I mean by that? I mean that if you fell madly in love with someone who you loved to be close to, this "social claustrophobia" (sorry again) would fade away. Am I making any sense?

Re: No energy of yours, no. waterytones May 16 2006, 21:12:12 UTC

You make sense but the thing is, i did like this person...and the fact that they were so clingy is what turned me off to them. It could be different with another person but...it's almost impossible for the person i have in mind to exist.

Also...i think this might be some sort of fear of commitment or some such thing? i don't really know.

i think i feel like that around some people too.
i try to ignore it though.

waterytones May 16 2006, 21:13:14 UTC

Do you feel that way around me?

It's sort of hard to ignore when they won't freaking stop and any little thing you say makes them want to touch you. Ahh, i don't know.

teakeeper May 22 2006, 22:58:26 UTC

no, of course not.
i suppose, but i'm not as attractive as you are.

waterytones May 24 2006, 01:31:36 UTC

Haha, good one. i mean, pretty much though, i don't even shower when i go to school so i don't know...there must be something in the water.

Dude, sometimes you just don't want some people touching you. Don't be afraid to tell them to knock it the hell off. It's your body, you get absolute authority over who touches it.

waterytones May 16 2006, 21:13:56 UTC

You're completely right. The thing is, all they want is a hug and i feel like there must be something wrong if even that makes me want to run away.
