Is there ever relief from this?
Posted Jul 3, 2000
How can I keep others' interest? Where is the line between being attentive to others and being desperate for attention myself? Am I going out of my way to make an ass of myself, or does it just come naturally? These and others along the same lines are the questions that plague my mind right now.
I know what the answer is. The answer should that I can't let what others think control what I do. I've read and understood it over and over in probably a dozen amazingly insightful books. And I know I can't know what others think. But this doesn't feel good enough right now. When I think about how few friends, almost none, that I've managed to keep for more than a couple years, it's hard not to think that I'm doing something wrong. How do I keep from screwing up?

I discovered a deal in car pricing tonight that may have me driving home a new car tomorrow. I probably shouldn't, but what the hell, it's only money, right? And you only live once, yeah?

That's what it says for the "when" bit of my first journal entry. It's amazing what has changed. And it's amazing what hasn't.

Others seem to figure this out

If you don't have one particular interest in life that drives you much more than others, how do you choose what to do for a living?

I don't really seem to fit
Posted Apr 5, 2000
It's not on purpose, I'm not trying to be different or odd for that sake alone, but if I'm really me I don't think I fit in with people who might otherwise be friends. And it's okay, really. I mean, it's mostly okay. I don't usually think about it a lot. But every once in a while it takes a fair bit of effort to continue to feel okay.
