For a long time I felt the same way. Over time I learned to just go with it, though. I may say things that sound half-assed or heartless at times, but it's not my intent. Sometimes I'll say things that are just plain weird, and I go with it. I have one very extroverted friend with a solid...

That's a PsychoBilli original, too. A friend of mine was irritated over something that didn't strike me as worth being upset over. The next thing I knew that phrase was spewing out of my mouth. I've said a lot of crap in my time, but every now and then I find something worthwhile. It's...

SG = Spam Groupie?

I prefer jewelry from grocery store gum ball machines. If I never let myself see anything better, then that'll be the highest quality I'll know.

"Some men just want to watch the world burn."

Okay, AFrozenSoul, you win. I throw out the advice and it's choice choice to take it or dismiss it, but I might have misjudged where you were at. I'm sorry if I've upset you, it wasn't intended.

It was just the one time. It started up maybe within two months after we had met, which means I started dropping the hints very early on. So ideas started turning over in her head before any real relational boundaries were set. That's probably why I never succeeded in pulling it off again...

I'm thinking that if you already have the skills to land in the "friend zone," as you put it, then you should learn to build on that. Going for the one night stand would take a different tact, which doesn't sound like your style. If you're making friends with girls, then you're earning trust...

Got a quick update. I talked to my union representative from my previous job today, and she told me that it's common for claims to be denied on the first go around. So I should appeal. She reassured me that people who've been caught stealing red handed have landed unemployment, so there's...

I'm pretty sure most of my friends are extroverts. It never once occurred to me that extroverts might think me odd that I don't talk much. Although I once had a friend whose sister thought it was odd that I was so quiet. On a side note, I'm an INTP. When I did research on my type I...

It's surprisingly sunny and warm in Michigan on this November day. I'm going to have to enjoy a bike ride while the weather still allows it.

In Soviet Russia, law school is terrified of you.

Being paralyzed by anxiety is something that still haunts me. I've since learned that if I can get past that initial hurdle it passes pretty quickly and I do just fine, but sometimes that anxiety wins and I back down or just freeze. I was talking to my psychologist today and he was telling me...

I remember a couple years ago I had a serious let down and had a deep depression settled over me. Worse than any I had ever felt. It was so bad I was sure people knew something was up with me. Then one day I looked in the mirror and realized that I couldn't even see it in my expression...

I think you should keep the "What do you think of when you wake up in the morning" thread. I think that one will become legendary.

I imagine you would do what any good father would. You'd find the bastards that did it and make them pay. Hopefully through legal means and not my style of justice.

So I lost my job about a month ago and I applied for unemployment until I could figure something out. My previous employer disputed my claim and so I sat in limbo for a few weeks waiting for the bureaucracy to make a determination. Well, in Michigan you have to go through an agency to stay on...

I think the last Pixar movie I saw was the Incredibles. I should see this, though, I always like Pixar stuff. Wait, no, I watched Up a week ago. I think Monster's Inc. is my favorite Pixar movie, though.

I like it. I see the theme that's so prevalent in so many success stories, too. Small steps. The small steps are easy to make and they stay with you. If it doesn't work out then it's not that big a deal, and it's easy to try again. If you go big, it can be daunting. Even if it's working...

I agree with Jay. Just a couple messages to let her know you're still willing to work things out, but don't let yourself obsess over it. If it looks like it's over, then you should plan for the future like it's over and keep working on improving yourself. If you let yourself get too wrapped...
