There was no need to delete the thread, dude

It probably doesn't mean anything if it just happened once... don't worry about it

Yeah, most guys might have this happen to this once during their lifetimes. Though the supposed frequency of these occurrences for you may say something about your sexuality, in fact. Anyway, I hope you find out what it is you want.

-edit- why edit it out? It's not like anyone knows who you are. And we're a very liberal community.

No what I said didn't make sense. What I was trying to convey was I'm addicted to My Space profiles. I don't have one of my own (never will) but I don't talk to many people in my school and some of the stuff I found out was interesting/shocking. (nothing big, just some stuff to do with what bands they like, etc.) But then I get side-tracked and I go to just about anyone's profile. And I feel so stalker-ish. I do this with lots of things. I have a million buddies who I don't know who they are (just steal them from peoples away messages), then I can get stuck at reading date service profiles, rating pictures, it's just fun when I'm bored.

Yet, somehow I always end up depressed because of how pathetic some people are (although I'm just as bad) The "gothics," "emos," "druggies," I guess I'm naive but there's always something about someone I really don't like and maybe sometimes I look at the flaws too much. I don't consider myself pessimistic or even depressed as a person - I guess I just get temporary feelings of dissapointment. But on the brightside maybe the people that I'd respect wouldn't go out of their way to make a live journal/blah/blah - I know I wouldn't.

EDIT: I wish I could cite specific examples but you wouldn't really be able to relate - I'm just one of those people that overanalyze everything.

Something that might give you a good idea of me is my "crush" on this one girl. I don't find myself physically attracted to her but something about her sparks curiosity. She's VERY shy, rarely talks in class - if it is it's in whispers. The fact that I don't know much about her wants me to talk to her but then I'm worried that she'll just be as fucked up as everyone else seems to be. Yes, I know this is a naive way of thinking.

I was in the city (NY) today and that might be another source for this current mood- everyone just seemed so rude, mean, and just downright cruel. It's so hectic running from place to place and I guess the bad was just more noticeable - or something. Again I can't cite any real examples I just felt bombarded and I didn't want to trust anyone. Crowds - always have to keep your hands in your pocket so no one steals anything - pushing and shoving to see the christmas tree - running to get on and off trains. I mean I love the city, for the rush and excitement and importance of everything but at the same time I see it as a good summary of a depressing world.

I had an exam this morning - just a PSAT - nothing that counted. 4 hours, I had a lot of time to reflect on life, my priorities, where I'll be in the next few years. I just think I'm not ready. All my friends are getting their drivers permits and licenses - I can - just need to study a bit but I don't see a rush and I'm probably going to end up left behind. Never had a girlfriend, never really needed/wanted one, but this no car thing is going to backfire when I eventually want one. Everything is going to backfire, I'm so behind in reality.

Yeah, so, don't take anything I said too seriously, I'm not THAT dramatic - it's just the result of a very busy day. I also don't think in words so I hope this made more sense than my original post.

But seriously; don't worry about it.

Do you have social anxiety or do you find that being around other people and friends doesn't fulfill your desire to have company?

Haha I take screen names from people's profiles and stuff too...I find it funny how obviously stupid/naive/immature some people are, just from their profile. I love it when the girls have "I heart ________" with "heart" actually spelled out and the date that they started going out...
