Okay, here is how I going to Cope With Today.
Today, btw, includes dealing with residual crazy from last night and Calming Down, and joining a Society which I'm not too enthused about but David really wants me to, so giving it a go. Unfortunately, said fair where one can join said society takes place in the evening, in the Students Union, which means many people in the midst of which I will Stand Out (not in the least because I have my fucking backpack with me because I didn't know it was in the evening). Or in the very least I will ~feel like I stand out.
The plan is to get in and get out, basically. Wander round for about an hour, maybe have a drink or something. It's not like I don't do this. I've been out many many times clubbing/drinking/whatever, but I don't do it at uni. Well, a couple of times. I just don't really care about it, and don't see why I should do it if I don't. But then the thing is I feel so different to everyone else and even though I KNOW it doesn't matter to not do something because I don't want to do it, rather than I can't do it, it still makes me feel really shitty about myself.
So. Here's what I am Going To Do. I am just going to Do It and Not Care. That's my plan. I am forcing myself into a 'so what if such and such happens?' kind of thinking and 'fuck anyone if they want to look at me a certain way, I pwn them so hard anyway'. Because I do. I've overcome things that most of them probably can't even imagine thinking/feeling.
Failing that I am going to pretend to myself that I am Someone Else. Someone who really doesn't give a shit, someone who for doing that kind of thing is like, nothing. Hey, they even enjoy this shit.
I don't know why I don't. I don't know why the idea of just... people freak me out so damn much. And it's not just people, it's specifically these people. Most other situations I'm okay, but stick with a bunch of uni people who I should really have much in common with blahblahblah and I'm just... Fucked. And fucked up.
I mean, maybe it's just the way I'm seeing it, like it's been programmed into me what I should want, how I should feel, so deviating from the norm makes me feel even more fucked than I actually am, because hey, why aren't I like everyone else? Why don't I want the same things and act the same way? Must be something wrong with me, right? As if I didn't think that already.
I was just doing so well over the summer that I almost forgot how things could be sometimes. Or maybe I actually thought I changed which is just amazingly stupid. Idk, I mean I'm okay and all, but not ~as okay as I was. Which sucks a little, but that's life I guess.
I just hope later is okay, like nothing shitty happens, because if it does I'm pretty sure I'm gonna implode when I get back home and not even care. Like, yesterday I cared enough to try and defuse but later I might just say 'fuck it'.
Maybe I'll leave the backpack at Sarah's and then just leave after an appropriate amount of time of teh being social because people know I need to get the bus and shit, they're used to it, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
Just. Fuck. I don't even get it. This shit is just crippling me so bad sometimes I'm not even sure why I bother. It was so much easier when I didn't feel anything at all.
Oh well. Just keep telling myself that everything will Be Okay. Who knows? It might even be.
Catch you on the flipside.
