Deep experience? I'm not sure I would call it deep. It certainly triggered a lot of things in me, that is for sure...

And I definitely did feel like it broke down my intelligence and selfrespect, indeed... I was raised to believe drugs were bad, so doing one wasn't exactly fulfilling...

I can tell you more in a PM, as I still feel shame about it.

And thank you I wish you the very same. If you want, we could talk on MSN about it instead. We seem to be talking more and more frequently these days.

Haha, I was actually thinking the same thing. It's something more people should know, as soon as possible. Why shouldn't we know more about ourselves? As long as we don't analyze it to the point of obsession, as I sometimes can do.

It really does make sense. Also, it may be related to what you're concentrated on. I find it easier to talk to someone if I'm mainly focusing on something else, easier as in that my expectations for the conversation are lowered. For example, talking to EL on the mic is much easier if I'm playing the DS, rather than staring at the wall.

We really should prioritize other things than how the person is going to answer. I wonder if this could be related to anxiety in front of a crowd, if seeking confirmation from them is important to one's overall mood and thoughts, thus making us anxious because we're dependent on them to tell us something we need to hear.

Or, it could be that with a crowd, you're not relying on them emotionally, but for grades or your career. Either way you rely on them somehow, and even if it's about grades or your career, perhaps those things are just covering up a need for emotional confirmation anyway.

Damn, interesting. Still, changing these things isn't exactly a walk in the park, depending on plenty of factors...

I wonder if this could explain some of the social anxiety people have out there.

Ah, very interesting of you to point that out. I wasn't expecting anyone to ponder it so much, but I definitely do think I made a good point there. It explains clingy behaviour in a way. In the beginning of a friendship or romantic relationship, we most likely depend less on the other for emotional relief, but with time that can change for some depending on how they think and are as persons. You could have less expectations of someone from the start. That's also something that could explain some troublesome relationships that started out well.

And thank you I've had that scarf for years, but it hasn't lost its touch to me. I definitely can have a touch for fashion.

Aah, I've noticed you talk to her =P

Your floater is full of eel? Hahaha... That's pretty random.

:O Is that a translator?

I just woke up = Jag vaknade precis.

Damn, if that's not a translator, you are damn good.
