"i like the fact that i'm not someone who needs human interaction to make themselves feel as though they exist"
I'm the same. Sometimes I've been to made as though I am the one with the problem because I can go weeks on end without needing to see or speak to anyone. Often, when I do end up visiting someone, it's because I have to - by the general friendship etiquette code, not because I feel I need to. I've never craved alot of interaction with friends, I'm happier in my own little world. And when I'm put into social situations, that is usually when my problems start mounting up again. It's probably not what you were getting at at all, but it made me think a bit about why I do what I do.
"i'm afraid of making myself or someone else unhappy by "exhibiting" that on livejournal."
Hah! Aw, I exhibit my bullshit on livejournal. I hope it doesn't depress anyone. I think alot of people take my angsty rambling with a grain of salt as alot of them know me well, and know that it will pass. Often, when I am actually really unhappy - I'll disappear completely for a while, LJ posts included. But hey, I like reading what you have to write and have often found myself looking for a post from you, please update more often!
i think we're similar with that. i don't Have to see people, but it's the time i spend away from them that makes seeing them really good. i do know what you mean though, sometimes i think i am a really horrible friend, because i don't call people and i don't ask enough questions haha.
and, yea, i don't really know what i meant by that.. i think it's just i don't post a lot of things because i can't really open myself up like that, but then i feel like i should because it's "healthy", emotionally speaking. i guess i'm trying to make myself comfortable opening up by forcing myself into it. maybe. i don't ever disappear like you do, i am far too addicted, but i'll go through a little phase like right now where i'll just stop posting anything of personal value, or i'll revert to other journals.
and thanks, it's nice to know that someone likes reading this stuff. i'm going to try and post more often : )
