And then wake up the next day wondering what the hell is wrong with you?
Please please please read this. Even though it's long. I just need somebody to tell me something. Anything. I'm losing my mind.
Anybody wanna try to psychoanalyze me? Because I can't really do it myself right now. I'm too emotionally unstable, in a way that makes me wonder if I'm bipolar or something all of a sudden, or if I'm just having a really weird experience. (Maybe it was food poisoning? Haha.)
So I sort of have a boyfriend. Surprise! That's sort of what it was like for me, too. Like, click. He's the sweetest person ever. Ever. He has to tell me I'm wonderful in some new, heartfelt way, every time I talk to him. And I think he means it, really. Because I have sort of known him a while.
Only problem is, he's at community college because he dropped out of school last year, and we've only been talking online and with text. The chatting online thing bothers the hell out of me. Because I've always felt like it was so impersonal, really. That's pretty much in my genetic makeup it's so firmly fixed in my head. I can't stand texting. It's antisocial. I never text, dammit.
So why the hell can't he be cute? Maybe even slightly cute? Nope, he has to be the most unattractive person ever. Which shouldn't bother me if I'm not a discriminatory little bitch, right? Dammit!
So now I'm selfish because I want someone better looking. Just a little bit better looking.
Look, I've never been kissed, never went on a date, never fallen in love, can you make my first one good??
Not that he isn't wonderful. He's so nice it kills me. Kind of like, why do you like me so much? I can't be that likable. Or somebody would have said something by now. Ok, that just makes me feel sad.
Because why the hell not?? Why is it that no guy ever said a damn thing to me?? I just don't get it. I'm really pretty. Really smart. Not very approachable, but I try to be really nice. So fml? How did every other girl get a nice guy? I don't understand how it's done.
I don't understand any of this, dammit.
It was sort of amazing when it all happened, just because it's so new to me. And we had so much in common, even though my gpa is ridiculous, and he's a drop-out, and whatnot. He seemed to really be caring. I mean, he really is. And it was all like it fell into place.
We already had a ton of personal jokes by the end of our first conversation. We sort of read each other's minds at times. And everything I wrote was just perfect and awesome.
So what the hell is MY problem??
Look, I'm too insightful. I'm too deep. I think too much. And he's got none of that. I mean, I can't really discuss all the thoughts about life that pop into my head without him feeling inferior. And he won't get it anyway. Well, he might. Just not in my terms.
When I go through life, it's beautiful. Everything is beautiful. Everything I think about has significance. Every moment I spend interpreting life my own way and trying to make some of it beautiful. Does he appreciate art? I really don't know. But it's my life, and if he doesn't, I'll be entirely crushed.
Does he appreciate music? He tells me he cares about lyrics, only lyrics. But I can't only care about lyrics.
Music is one of those things I'm so passionate about, that I can hardly describe it. Nobody shares my taste in music, ever. It makes me feel so alone, but I'm always looking for more to listen to, more that I like. I'm really picky. It has to be wonderful all around. And for me, the instrumentals are most important. No. Not for me. For music in general to be good, it has to fucking be good. That can't be argued.
You think I don't care about lyrics? I've spent months of my life interpreting the lyrics on albums. I'm a music connoisseur if there ever was one. And I'm as snotty as all hell to people who listen to bullshit. Sorry, that's just me. Take it or leave it. Or listen to good music.
And now that I've figured out my own opinions on everything, it's just really fricking annoying to be near someone with no sense of foundation. Hell, politics is a sad load of shit, but I have an opinion. I have a lot of opinions. They go with all my values and principles. Which tie up into one little ideological package. Which, by the way, is the correct one to have. I can't help but believe I'm right. Right and wrong are solid concepts, people. (He has opinions too, but they aren't all tied together at all, so he just thinks things. Which makes him so much better than me, right?)
So, that just sounded really bitchy, huh? The point here is i really hate it when people disagree with me. Maybe I'm just really insecure.
This whole thing leads me to believe I'm a downright awful person. So I kinda want to let him know, you know?
Or maybe I just get really fricking ticked off and annoyed that he listens to real bullcrap music. So I got mad. This all just ended up being set off like a bomb yesterday. So I acted really awful, and now I don't know what he thinks.
Either way, I don't know what to do about it. I tried sending him one of my long and insane rants, which was longer and more insane than usual because I was freaking out emotionally. So he probably thinks I'm fucking messed up. He sent a note back, and it just sounded really pissed off. But that he really likes me still, and that I'm not going to change that with my bitchiness (as i put it, bitchiness).
He wrote that he never rants. Shit, another difference. He's never going to understand my ranting.
He seemed so pessimistic in that note. He seems so depressed sometimes.
He had this other girlfriend who broke his heart, and half of me thinks that's still on his mind three years later. Mostly because he brings her up all the time. Maybe because he said that he would have done anything for her. Maybe because I think, as false as it is, that he still sort of loves her. Maybe this sentence just hurt: "I think subconsciously I must look for girls to be attracted to that have something seriously wrong with them."
I'm just a bitch, don't mind me. And now I'm freaking humiliated for getting upset. It's not like my reasons amount to anything.
(Nothing amounts to me acting like that.)
I can't help but feel really depressed, terrible, and undeserving right now. Who knows if he understands that. He didn't seem to recognize anything last night when we chatted. I dropped mega hints and they never found their target. And now he's trying to chat with me right now, because he so innocently loves me and all, but I just can't pull myself together. Do I just want to hurt him, or what? Maybe there really is something seriously wrong with me.
I really don't deserve his, or anybody's, affection. All these years alone have taught me that. If not that, then the way I just acted stole the show.
I remember thinking about this earlier, months earlier. How there's nobody for me, and how love isn't really there, anywhere. It's sort of like that. And how I'm happier alone. Because I am. I hadn't resigned myself to solitary confinement when i said it before, which nobody seemed to understand. I'm a loner. And my paradox is, as much as I feel the need to show everybody who I am and make myself clear, nobody will ever listen. The whole world has its ears shut. And even though that's my motive in life, I think I'll just keep doing it, and keep getting disappointed. Sounds pessimistic, but that's what I'm reduced to.
I need some help, guys. Pleeeeeease.
