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.)

Yeah that doesn't work.
The 'not supposed to be' thing.

It's better to realize that you're not actually as bad as you think, rather than try to convince to stop being a certain way.

Cause, you're not.

...hopefully that won't irritate you for my having said it.

"... the dining hall just makes me lonely, because I see all this social activity and I'm not part of it."

That is why you'll barely ever see me in the dining hall, and when you do, I'm in a back room, eating quickly and exiting soon thereafter. [I also get there as close to 5:30 as possible, to avoid the crowd.] As soon as I get my hands on a take-out box... I usually do meal exchange in Subway for dinner these days, so that's where I am.

I'd never take your complaints that way. If I've felt like that myself, I'm certainly not going to form any judgments or expectations towards you. =]

I'll eat lunch with you. Just... give me awhile to get there. ;-)

That sucks

Dude, that sucks. I remember it was similar for me. Maybe it doesn't work the same as when I was there. Do they still have that back room where all the misfitty-type people hang out? That was a pretty friendly place as I recall.
