ORIGINAL: Aedh i know this isn't an excuse, but just to clarify: i've been neck deep in an extremely brutal grad-school degree for the past year, that i'm trying to finish in half the usual time. I used to do that until I burned out (for a variety of reasons) and then just decided to stay up all night and have fun for 2-3 years... In the end, it would have been quicker if I had "taken it easy", but oh well. I'm intense, no matter what I'm trying to accomplish. I gained more self-awareness and became interested in various new things like music, dancing, etc. Now, I have to slowly finish university. quote:
as for the social retard thing - i get along with people just fine (i even have a few friends who aren't just in my head). i just have no idea about how to deal with someone i like. the last time i had a big crush on someone, i handled it by showing no outward sign that i liked her. for a year. this was me playing it cool. Well, it's not that hard. Most chicks are really sweet to you unless you're a bona fide "jerk" (and then only if you manage to annoy them sufficiently). Most of the time it doesn't even matter what you do or say - just how you do it. My only response, till I was about 16, was to blush... I actually have photos of the party where I was blushing at the start and then decided: "Screw this, I'm not going to be embarassed by being called 'cute' and getting pawed constantly. I'm embracing whatever this is and acting assertively." The contrast with the photos at the end is pretty spectacular. In essence, young women could be literally falling onto your lap and you still have to decided that you're going to do something about it. quote:
thanks again for all the advice though ^_^ You're welcome. I think it would be helpful if you would stand up straight in your photo.
