 Some people yearn for human contact, others just want to lead a solitary life. I think I fall in the latter. Is that bad or is that good? I don't know. I think I'm just built differently from most. A friend of mine is having a tough time dealing with a mostly solitary life of working 9 to 5 and going about her everyday life. She likes having people around her, having human contact. Maybe I'm just so surrounded by people all the time that I truly don't know what it's like to really be alone. But I feel like I do. I feel like I do know what it's like to be alone because I choose to be a lot. I'm not a loner or anything, but I like those little moments I have to myself. Sometimes I wish I had more of those. But I guess choosing to be alone is different from... becoming alone. When it just happens, without rhyme or reason. Suddenly, you're alone and you don't want to be. And now I think I see why she's having a tough time. Sometimes it's difficult trying to see from another perspective. I try really hard to see it. Sometimes I don't, sometimes I do. And when I don't, I get frustrated because I don't understand why someone is feeling a certain way and acting in that way. I don't know why I have to figure these things out, but I do. I think it's like... it's like trying to solve a math problem. We each have a different way of figuring it out, and when you can't wrap your head around a different approach, you get frustrated because you want to understand how to do it in another way and why it also works. At any rate, sometimes the only perspective is to really be there (thanks, Charlie). Maybe I'll find out soon enough. No TrackBacksTrackBack URL: http://www.toastier.org/cgi-bin/mt/mt-tb.cgi/137 |
