    what's the point of therapy?

    i've wondered this for awhile, but never thought to ask here. so far in a nutshell, ive learned that the problem you have to undo is that the coping mechanisms that worked for you as a kid end up biting you in the butt as an adult. thats great to know, but i really dont see how therapy helps...

    painful patterns

    I got an awkward phonecall from my friend this morning and afterward i finally realized something. maybe other people are this way too. is this true for you guys? when people see you're eccentric and creative, they think you're so ****ing great and love your craziness, so you trust them and get...

    a modest proposal

    so since theres no cure for insanity, you science people need to do us all a favor and create a virus that turns all the normal folk crazy. think of the advantages! everyone would understand when you refuse to go into a crowded room, people wont give you the "your such a pain in the ass look"...

    can't sleep

    i stay up most of the night. sometimes i enjoy it, but other times it seems like an eternity where theres so much energy and nothing to do with it, like sitting around for hours in a waiting room, then your so tired and edgy the next day that you can hardly look at anybody or talk straight. its...

    bravery

    so i think i wouldnt be so bitter about the whole conquering fear thing if fighting irrational fear was as rewarding and noble as fighting rational fear. for example, if i went around some warzone with bomb and land mines doing humanitarian stuff, then enduring fear would be brave thing but...

    Do you get freaked out by extra nice people?

    this really steals an idea from someone else's thread, Do extra nice people make you extremely nervous? why do you think that is? they make me want to hurl and i dont know why.

    does anyone have a borderline parent?

    i was looking at this book, "surviving a borderline parent" by Kimberlee roth and freda b. friedman. its bizarre to read something that describes what i went through as a kid so well. i cant believe it. im sorry this is so long. there's a list of "symptoms" i guess, of being the kid of a...

    Isn't strange?

    How it takes you 4 seconds to warm up to some people and years to warm up to others? there's no rhyme or reason either. too bad you cant give people the memo! id really like to get to know you, but i will have to think about it for four years first. can i get back to you then?

    ?

    Are you territorial? You know how there's two kinds of animals, the kind that get attached to people, and then the kind that gets attached to it's territory. maybe normal folks attach to people, and sa folks attach to territory. just a fun theory. i know i always notice how places smell.

    bad habits

    I think i subconsciously (is that a word?) try to hurt people by saying the worst thing I can think of. it just gets blurted out. maybe its cause i treat myself that way, i dont know. or cause hurting makes you stronger, wakes you up, makes sure you dont fall asleep. i get irritated if a...

    can't pull off friendly

    Feeling guilty because when people are nice to me, I can't be nice back. I can talk fine, but I come off as cold and distant. only with adults though, i can be nice to kids at least! I just hate thinking im one more impersonal person sucking the soul out of life. i hate it.
