Alone in a crowd

[edg]

I was going to whine here about how the dining hall just makes me lonely, because I see all this social activity and I'm not part of it. I had a great metaphor that involved lenses.

Then I remembered that I'm not supposed to be whiny.

So it's gone now.

(By the way, there is at least one person in the immediate area who reads this journal. Please don't take my complaints about being lonely as being passive-aggressive attempts to get you to hang out - I certainly don't mean them that way. I'm just bitching; I keep forgetting that there are people nearby these days who might not take these posts as just me kvetching about something I don't expect anybody to change.)

Maybe it's more reassuring to have an excuse to rely on, to convince yourself you're a horrible person..

Maybe a lot of people have that problem with getting to know other people, but aren't horrible people...

The other angle is the superiority trick. Or the just plain Outsider one. They combine great! ("I am smarter than all these people, so they don't understand me, and I don't want to stop speaking my crazy Moon language, so whatever.")

Not that I speak from experience or anything... >_> <_<
