So, I haven't updated in a long time... Nothing interesting to say, I suppose.
How about this?:
I know I'm not the only one that feels this way, but I figure I might as well point it out, if just for the fish.
When I meet someone...
No, let's put it this way: when I meet a guy I'm interested in, I often go home and, I suppose, attempt to prep myself for other social meetings with this person, and that is when I sometimes run into problems. I end up feeling like I have too many facets to my personality and I try to think about what kind of person this guy will like the best so I can show off that part of me. Now I know it sounds all arrogant and it's stupid because one always hears the stereotypical "Be yourself" kind of line, and it's like I'm trying to be something I'm not in a desperation to catch this guy's attention and make him like me so I can come out and be myself when I feel safe in the thought that he already likes me so I can stop feeling like he won't like me if I show the rest of myself. How's that for a run-on (not to mention reduntant) sentence?
At any rate, Happy Insecure Entry time!
So my question remains, how does one build up enough courage and get rid of trust issues so that one can be oneself when it comes to meeting potential significant others and not be all ridiculous? Yeah, right, like that can ever be avoided... hehe
You know what's unfortunate? We're limited by inefficient communication methods. How sad.
But I guess that's why I really like the movement to bring other languages into ours, for example when all those ridiculous English aristocrats decided it was a fantastic idea to all learn French as well and bring those words into the language, because honestly, sometimes our language just doesn't cut it. For example, we only have one word for "love"... how lame is that? At least C.S. Lewis started to take a stab at that one by going back to the Greeks... *sigh*
end rant.
