Well, what kind of job are you looking for? Let's start there.

I'm reminded of the "hedgehog's dilemma". Anyway, it's a thing that I think most of us suffer from. We want to talk to people, but we're sorta scared of them or they make us nervous. I think what we need to learn is how to resist our fears and anxieties and talk to people. The only way I can see us learning how to do that is to simply do it, just go up to someone or, when someone approaches us, to talk to them and not listen to the part of us that wants to get away or push them away.

^Yeah, you're right about it. But the biggest problem I face is that I sometimes get so lost in my head that I forget that there're real world and real people out there whom I should be in touch with, it even happens with my closest friends. Sometimes it gets to the point that they wonder if I'm avoiding them intentionally while that's not the case at all.

Hmmm, well, can you train yourself to not get lost in your thoughts? Don't cut off your path to the mental realm, but make it a less common destination. I'm not really an expert in this kind of stuff, so you might be better off asking someone who is.

I feel deeply frustrated as I would really like to post something valid,but I apparently can't...

Anything you post is valid. No matter if it's something urgent or something "trivial", whatever you have to say is valid.

Yeah, I'm trying to keep a balance between them and pay attention to real world as well, though it seems very hard at times.

You can do it
. Just build more of a connection to the physical world, give yourself more incentive to stay there.

I dont feel too good. My sister came home to visit for the christmas holidays and I was dreading it so. I complain about not liking my sister but while she was here I realized how much I miss her and enjoy hanging out with her,since I have nobody else to. Ive realized how much I love her and saying good bye to her I was fighting back tears like crazy. Now I wont see her again for another 6 months. It sucks but life goes on I guess.

I'm sorry to hear that, Malice. :
: Hopefully you get some of those positive feelings back again. I know what it's like. Chat to me if you like. I have the same predicament most of the time. Hopefully we can both find a nice balance between the two.

not actually Fiona Apple
Horrible. This was a huge mistake. I am so not a dog person. I just wish I had known that little fact a week ago. :
Give it a little time, you may warm up to it. My mom wasn't a dog person when we first got ours, and he was a little terror as a puppy, but now she likes him plenty

No it's an internet friend, with whom I haven't spoken to, in some time.
For the first time in ages, not bad. Not getting anxious, worried or sad, and being able to enjoy things again. I really don't know what this is due about, I really don't care. That may be it, I'm not "over-caring" about things.
Hellz yes.

I'd say give it a couple more weeks before you make any decisions. At first there is the novelty stage of "oh, something small and slobbery and new!" Then reality hits a bit. They are like having children, except they can't vocally tell you what they want. I do hope you give it a bit more time, though. They really do grow on you. When my dog starts to get on my nerves, I take him to the park and we chase squirrels and sit in the grass and I rub his belly and everything is okay again. But if it doesn't work out, there are many no-kill shelters out there. Did you adopt him/her? A lot of places will take them back. Either way, make the right decision for you. Having an animal you don't want isn't going to be any fun for you or the dog.
Today is cleaning day! My dad "fixed" the ping pong table, but there is no room for it in the basement. So stuff if going to be moved around and the Christmas tree is coming down and it's going to get dirty up in herrrrre. I'm actually dying to see my therapist on Thursday. It's been 6 weeks and I can't take it anymore!!!
