Things are....different

Jul 13, 2008 15:42

I think the college scene has started to get it's claws under my skin. While some may say that I've hardly experienced what it's like to be in college (community college, living at home still, etc.), the psyche that comes with being a collegiate is taking it's toll. Over the course of two years, I've found that I've lost some key traits that I liked about myself

My empathy towards other people, and my ability to talk to others on a personal level.

The talking to others thing (or lack thereof) probably stems from the two year terms at a community college. No one is around for that long, so why bother? Relationships take time to form, and two years isn't really that long. The loss of my empathetic attitude soon followed I think, because not talking to people personally brings forth a sense of apathy for what others have to say.

The worst part about this situation is that I can't even find myself able to talk to those that I've already become close to. Best friends, girlfriends, family, it just doesn't work anymore.

*sigh* I guess I've got some work to do.
