Day 3: I'm going slightly mad

[wealhtheow]

I kind of flipped out at lunch yesterday. I'm back to the state where being around too many people, or even having one or two people in my way, sets me off. I found a tree outside away from everybody and ate lunch by myself and that made it better. But lunch is depressing, ironically because I'm eating alone. Introversion sucks

If you need somebody to go mad on give me a holler. I make a good sparring dummy.

That (too many people) <-> (lonely) cycle thing is a bitch. The only environment I ever found that made it work halfway well was the student houses at Caltech, because you could drift between your private room and the shared spaces outside it as needed.

Forgetting a pot of water on the stove is like me, too.

On the flip side, I wouldn't have chosen the particular color scheme you have on your journal, though...

I like purple! Why do people object to the purple? It's a preset scheme, even, I didn't alter it at all!

So, I have a roommate, and we have people over pretty often so far, but it doesn't help much in the context of school. I moved here grateful to have a non-law school friend/support network already in place, because I didn't want to be wholly reliant on my classmates for socializing; but I think perhaps I need to put myself out there more. I have no idea how to approach people.

It took me about a year after I moved out here with no support network at all, but I eventually figured out little bits and pieces...
