across the night

Aug 14, 2013 17:05

so, 'i dont wanna be lonely, i just wanna be alone' is a nice line from a silverchair song which helps explain a little of the way towards someone needing a break from humanity, or just an introvert.

and, i sort of align within those perimeters. after a long day of interacting with people i wanna be by myself.
however, long days of interacting with people are rare... but they are also the most common form of interaction i get.

its like all of my social is concentrated.

i find myself on the line between alone and lonely often enough, due to the sheer amount of alone i get, that could be remedied with very small amounts of input.

a typical day contains absolutely 0% speaking to anyone i know and like or just like. even to the point where i spend 9 hours a day 5 days a week without a voice that doesnt just give straight answers to commands. atm i get about about three hours on every other wednesday and the weekend where i talk to someone. the weekend is usually anthony, but it shouldnt all BE anthony.

basic things like having a 5 mins chat with a friend every other day would be cool. but im not a chatty person at all. hanging out for a while on another day of the week would work too. but at the moment its ridiculously inconvenient for all involved with work patterns and such and usually has me taking long journeys home on the night buss. typically i tend not to be involved closely with people, though we like each other and i know them well, they dont know me as well, so i guess my presence as a friend isnt that strong, even if the friendship is. i still get sought out and invited and etc, but i wouldnt be randomly knocking on most peoples doors.

there was a time a few years back when i was a stranger in a distant land, lol. i had moved, i had no family down here, and i knew no one down here, and i was broke, so i couldnt go out anywhere and do social stuff. i used to talk allot on the internet in those days, but my netsphere has gotten a little dry and shrunken.

its not like i need a human connection, its more like that my mind will rot if the only information i can absorb comes from a deaf source, and there is nothing to challenge my thoughts or oppose them. the stream of the static is general and impersonal, where as peoples minds are interesting, unexpected and fun to have around.
