 Saturday, March 19, 2005 faces look ugly when you're alone I've determined that I am completely clueless when it comes to making friends. It's been bothering me lately, especially considering that I'd like to keep in touch with some folks from work when I move away to New Jersey this coming Winter, and I'm realizing that can't and won't happen unless I make the extra effort to hang out with these people outside of the Work Environment into Friend Zone. It's not been very apparent via my blogging, but I have pretty intense social anxiety. I don't think it would be considered a "disorder," since it doesn't often interrupt my day-to-day life, but that may just be because I've learned to work around it and accept it to a degree. I don't know. But I'm not on any sort of medication, and I don't think I need to be. I just need to learn how to get to know people. People fascinate me. I obsess over them. I like to observe and listen to them. I want to go out for drinks when they're happy, take care of them when they're sick, and help them feel better when they're down. But it's difficult for me to get to know people past the surface, because I can get to know them, but I can't bring myself to call them or to make plans with them. I just can't. They're beyond my reach. Sometimes, I'm just so lonely. posted by Jennifer at 3/19/2005 08:12:00 AM
