Being a good friend is kind of a skill you pick up on over time.
Like knowing when somebody needs support, and what to do/say to give required support. It's not always as obvious and easy as others make it look. You're not necessarily self-absorbed nor selfish when you just focus on yourself. Many of us here have spend a great deal of time alone, it's only natural that our priorities shift.
Not to mention being close and loving is made all that much harder when social anxieties are at play. It's not easy.
Of course you deserve offline friends. Everyone does.
Not to mention you've shown to be a very caring person multiple times here. Self-absorbed people don't do that. :3^ Puma, awesome!
Telepathine, surely you deserve friends, yup!!
And how else can you learn not to be self-absorbed, huh??
I can be pretty self-absorbed sometimes too, and some of my friends too, haha.. guess we're all learning from each other!! There are no 'perfect' people in this world, and if there were, think how boring or 'annoying' they would be??
If you wouldn't be self-absorbed at all and would be too caring and always thinking of others only, they could take advantage of that, so some healthy self-preservation is well, healthy... People can respect you more for it too.. There's a fine balance between 'self absorbed' and 'jerk' and I'm sure you do see it and take prevention against it... and/or apologize if you've made a mess... Nobody's perfect...
It's good that you recognize a possible tendency (that many people with sa/in modern society have) and are willing to work on it!!
Since we're all imperfect, we can forgive things and move on...

Cleaning my room, it's stressful so taking a break here haha... Okay, back to the 'fight'!!

there was a gap in the rain.. which was interesting to see. some part dry, some part rain..
So, what are you waiting around for? Permission?
you don't have to miss a thing. Go do what you want. Its not impossible. Nothing is impossible, that's all that's impossible -- nothing.
You seek confidence, you will find it.
Beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
Beauty in things exists merely in the mind which contemplates them.

Happy people. Yeah, happy people there is. You can be, too. Quit thinking about being happy or unhappy. You think happy people stop to think they are happy?

I avoid clicking peoples' profiles because my name would show up on their page.
For the same reason, I'm always in offline mode here and on Facebook. (even though I know it shows who's online at the bottom of the page)
My brain does not follow a normal path of logic.

I'm not sure which is worse, moderate depression or very mild depression coupled with general discontent and unhappiness.
I'm going with the second one, because moderate depression at least is comfortable, if you can call it that; or rather, you can get used to it because it just sort of becomes your general outlook and you get used to it, for the most part.
Discontent, on the other hand..... that's maddening; you feel that you CAN be happy, but you aren't and you don't know how to get there. You feel just enough happiness to want more, and yet you don't know how to get it......
I think I am discontent right now. Haven't been really bad for a little while now, and while some may say that's good, I'm certainly not happy.... I don't like this other feeling.

We used to say that our whippet was "blowing bubbles," as that's what it sounded like.

Oh man those are the best. Or the ones where you know you're dreaming in the dream, and try to play games with yourself.
I can stand nightmares, the only ones I hate are ones where you fall in love, and wake up with this gut-wrenching emotional loneliness.

I feel you on the fall in love ones. A bittersweet emotion.
Do you ever get the feeling you need a girl/boyfriend? No idea why, how you're going to get one, or who it's going to be, you just feel like you need one more than anything else in the world?
That's how I feel at the moment

I know you posted that with the intention of sparking me into some form of motivation, to achieve a better state I found myself when I made my original post. Thanks, but I just can't find the courage. That's what I'm waiting for. Courage.
