So...I understand EC's a good place to come and find guidance for when you're lost. I've never really vented to you guys before but now's a good time as any to start I suppose. Nothing majorly bad has happened, it's just a little something...

Tonight, I'm trying to bring together a group of my friends so we can just see this performance my best friend's in, then go hang out at my house. And I've been simultaneously trying to resolve a little conflict between said best friend and another good friend of mine.
So I'm asking another friend of mine if she wants to, and she says, "If I go, it'll only be for X," X being this best friend of mine. And at that point I wonder why I'm even bothering.
I try to tell myself not to doubt that these people care for me, even though they can't see me often because they all live in the next county over. And I try to accept that I'm not that good a friend to these people because of that and for various other reasons, but still...it makes me wonder, why? I know it's healthy to get out and be with people, but a lot of the time I sit silent and displaced...

and life's been...different for me lately. It's odd, I've been changing a lot over the past few months, I've learned how to connect to people (that's probably why I'm writing this now). And also...on a tangent, I lost my auric sixth-sense lately. It was mainly a vestigal thing; I could just feel the space around one thing bending as it passed or was passed by another. It didn't work really when my eyes were closed, I had a hard time matching up these intangible displacements with physical dimensions without sight, I guess. I wasn't even sure if this was actually a sense or if I was just imagining it - until someone walked past me and I didn't feel a thing. And now I'm wondering if this loss is going to affect my creativity or anything else, or what could have been done if I'd realized my special sense sooner...

anyway. thankupos for reading, I didn't want to put this on my FOD and yet I wanted SOMEONE to see and/or respond to it, and I didn't know anyone else I could turn to with this crap. We now return to your regularly scheduled inanimacy

People are random. I, at times, have thought particular board members hated my guts and laugh whenever I'm around, and yet, they do like me and think I'm a decent guy. And I know I've acted that way too, being a jerk to people who are my friends.

It should go away, hopefully. I'm hoping so.

Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

The third person you mentioned (I guess it's a third person; I was a little confused, honestly) probably didn't mean anything malicious by what s/he said. And if they did, then frankly, screw 'em. They obviously aren't much of a friend, eh?

Like El Lenny said ( ), you'll often find that people think more highly of you than it seems.

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.
