| I don't want to sound like I am judging you or anything but maybe you should seek some help to get through all that stuff. Like sly said I am the last person who should be giving such advice seeing as I should be seeing a therapist or something, but maybe they could help you work through some stuff and find a place where you are happy.

| It probably sounds dumb, childish, and a bit stubborn, but I don't want to see a therapist. Mainly because this is who I am. It may make me a psychopath, it may make it hard to connect to people in person, and it may make me miserable at times, but there's still elements I don't want changed. I have an inflated self-worth, but it helps me cope with depression and it helps me smile in tough times. I may eat when I'm tired or just bored, but the insight into tastes, textures, and food in general that comes with it is invaluable and a part of me. I may not be able to make a move with a lady, but that stops someone who may want to just force themselves onto me and leave something I regret. Everyone has their demons, and I have more than my share of them, but sometimes I enjoy hearing what they say. I also have my share of angels to balance them out. It gives me the insight to look at things from more than one angle. I rarely judge situations without doing my research, and, while it leaves me action-less, it saves me from making more mistakes. Life is a journey, and I always forget to enjoy the ride. But then again I never liked roller-coasters.

I can understand not wanting to go to a therapist for these things... but at the same time, I /did/ go to a therapist for my anxiety and issues with social interaction, which are very similar to your's. Future aspirations not included, though. And it really helped me. I'm not all fixed, but I don't think my therapist really "changed" me. She helped me change things I didn't like about myself. I mean, I still battle with all of those things you are afraid of when it comes to people. It's just easier to manage. But -shrugs- no one can force you... in this circumstance. Just giving my opinion.
Also, hi Jojo Glad to see you back, and sorry I haven't been very active. College zaps my energy for online interaction quite a bit.

| Let's just put it this way. I once did get myself basically out of the social anxiety pit-holes. Just a summer alone, in my room, with just the net, but me back into it. I'm slowly working my way out and I have some really good days.

Between helping with my uncle who is disabled, my cousins twin baby girls who are 1 year and a half now, keeping an eye on my nana who had a heart attack, keeping an eye on my mom who has high blood pressure and anxiety issues and is finally back on her meds and dealing with family drama. yea i'm tired. I'm tired just thinking about it now. I think I need a nap.

| GAh. All the cute little matching dresses. >w<
... and all the opportunities for them to stand in hotel hallways silently, wearing white dresses and no emotions. I would totally get in on that if I had little twin girls. So. Cute.

| Speaking of opportunities, I really need to find some time to spend with my girlfriend. Haven't gone out on a date since the semester started.
Anyways, how have your lives been?

| Ah, go out with her quickly !
A friend of mine just broke up with his girlfriend because they weren't going out. Even though it was a couple really busy months, what with graduation coming up and demo reels being due, she could have held on. Fuuuu
He became so glum. :'C

| But she'd out-... everything me!
She's fit, does track, snowshoeing, etc. but I can barely run 1/5 of a mile.
And I haven't been too good at keeping up with my workouts. I need a new bike seat and pedals. According to my dad, I now I permission to mess with the five bikes until I have at least one working bike.
