ORIGINAL: GhitaAmati I admit this is because I haven't done laundry all week and I don't have any other clean black shorts or pants I know you are probably already at work, but just febreeze a pair of shorts from the hamper and throw them in the dryer for 10 minutes, fresh as a daisy! quote:
I'm FRIENDLY with a LOT of people, but there isn't really any one I'm FRIENDS with. I don't always understand social graces I guess. I really try to copy the actions and behaviors of those around me but somehow it never seems to work quite right. I never really feel like I "belong". Always just kind of feel like I'm on the outside of other friendships looking in. I admit you just made me cry. Not because it made me sad, but because I didn't realize anyone else besides me was like this too. I had no one who modeled "normal" relationship behavior growing up, (familial, romantic or friendship.) The only advice I can give you is that once I hit my 30's I started feeling more comfortable in my own skin. That made it feel "safer" for me to work up the nerve to approach people and work at making friends without fear of rejection. I know you've heard this hundreds of times before. But all you need is one good friend. I have that one good friend. I tell her constantly that I am so grateful for her because she taught me how to be a friend. I still kind of suck at it, but she forgives me. :)
