Ah, I keep coming back to this. I don't have an anxiety problem. I have a stubbornness problem. What better way to beat the stubbornness out of me than through a few years of hard labor? I'm pretty sure the guys at the pallet shop will probably knock this failed knowledge worker down a peg...

Thank the Gods, normal bloody conversation! I can talk myself into a great fervor over nothing given enough time and lack of interruptions. I am a goddamned bloody ninja master at worrying over nothing. I lost three jobs, two careers, and several friendships over 5 years through worrying over...

...and you want to know what the real frustrating thing is? I had this same exact revelation not even a month ago. I talked with my friends and family with it. They not only agreed with me, but had been trying to tell me about it this whole time. And I got all caught up in my problems again...

Lol. Day 2 of "Plan alonelylife/Plan 'figure out how to keep my mouth shut by asking introverts how they do it'" - New Plan: Abandon plan, leave the introverts alone, stop making ******* plans all the time, dumbass, and keep your ******* mouth shut. Da Da Da Daaaaa! Achievement Unlocked: Most...

...That's plan R. I told you all I didn't really have it figured out yet, lol. That was, what, a couple of minutes from "I've figured everything out!" to "dammit, I'm thinking about the entire problem wrong again!" That must be a new personal best. Or worst. I'm not really sure what to...

Now I just need to remember not to become cocky and complacent because I think "I've figured everything out now." I've thought that lots of times before, and it has never been the case. I will think it lots of times again. I could not have just solved all of my major life problems in a random...

Hammers to the iron, ha ha! I don't have to know exactly what to call what's going on in my brain. I'll just keep pounding away at the bloody thing until it works! Axes to the wood! What better way to stop overthinking things than to stop overthinking things? Got a problem with getting...

New ideas keep flooding into my head like a damned fire hose, and I can't shut the fire hose off. It's a good problem to have, but a very frustrating one. It's problematic because most of the ideas are not particularly good ones. It is a fire hose of half-baked, ill-conceived ideas that only...

All of that nonsense above was one long anxiety attack. Now you have an idea of what's been getting me into trouble on Facebook. That's how I get when I'm having an anxiety attack, and I'm not always so careful to stick to uncontroversial matters. I never recognize when they're happening...

I am full of honeysuckle. I have been full of honeysuckle my whole life. Which is why I intend to keep my mouth shut and do my job. I am a poor student and a shitty knowledge worker. It is long past time that I accepted this. My brain may not work right, but my hands work just fine. I have failed at...

The Frank has awoken, motherfuckers. honeysuckle is about to get done with extreme prejudice. Later. I'm calm now. I can do calm. I'm not about to go ranting about these things to a potential employer, lol. They'll think I'm full of honeysuckle. Hell, I might well be full of honeysuckle here. We shall just...

I realize it might seem odd for a good communicator to have an interest in this forum. I am here because I keep running my mouth, and I need to stop. Silence and labor will make literally all of my problems vanish into thin air in a month. Silence is golden. Extroversion has brought me...

I feel like a real adult for the first time in my life. I am out of patience with my adolescent bullshit. It's like I stalled at 12 years old for 15 years. I'm just going to go apply at that pallet repair place. I'm reasonably fit; I'll be fine. If my goal is to do woodworking, what better...

Happiness is to mind your own business, to excel at your craft, and to be enthusiastic about your labors. It took me 27 years to learn that little bit of advice. Thanks for the kind welcomes.

I have "signed out" of Facebook, as it were. I only have behavioral problems such as obsessive arguing on Facebook. I'm fine in person and everywhere else. Facebook makes me lose my honeysuckle. I am done with it. Peace through solitude. I have years of work ahead of me if I want to have my...

I was merely musing upon a favorite saying. Thank you for the compliment.
