How do I become a magnet?
I've found that (almost all of the time) I get extremely hopped up and excited over people. However, I've slowly come to realize that my enthusiasm can be rather overwhelming... and that it doesn't exactly help that I can type relatively quickly and tend to go off on tangents with ease. (Plus, I also suck intensely at icebreakers -- not the breath mint, but the conversation technique.)
Wayyy back in ninth or tenth grade, I penned a song called "King of Whatever" -- it's a forumulaic pop duet which celebrates my own tendency toward subservience. But nowadays, I've grown very tired of flocking to people, of overwhelming them with enthusiasm, of automatically falling at their feet. And I really don't like making myself feel like a telemarketer (who sporadically comes at people with offers and is curtly turned down... or just plain not called back).
Oddly, I've long considered my crazy voicemails to be somewhat endearing.
And, yesh, I'm being dramatic, but until I better hone my writing, this is my most comfortable means of expressing dissatisfaction.
So how do I go about reversing this? I'm not look for a 180-degree turn of events (a complete reversal, i.e. having people flock to me / overwhelm me / etc.) but, say, a good 70-to-110-degree turn?
Just how do I make myself more "magnetic" (besides fastening magnets to others and a powerful electro-magnet to myself)?
(I should add that this post isn't directed at any one person nor at "all of you in general"; and it wasn't written due to any one situation, either. I'm more frustrated with myself than I am with anyone else.)
