ErrosErrors

Permanent Linkby brainslug on Fri Sep 21, 2012 4:15 am

I don't have time to post the events of today, but I do want to clarify that I WAS over-reacting yesterday.

I thought it over, and it seems extremely unlikely.

Someone asking about math stuff... is them asking about math stuff, maybe being a little friendly, but not romantically. She asked me if I had worked any problems again today, and she still didn't remember my name, so that rules out it being used just out of courtesy or something, she obviously had forgotten or didn't know my name (+ points on the side of safety from all the bad predictions if otherwise.)

Normal people do that kind of stuff. I need to get through my skull that just because I like someone, does not mean anything about them liking me. I confuse the two sometimes in a way that I think I only do.

Yesterday's post was obviously crazy, but it is good to have a record of how crazy I can be at times.

Honestly, I am relieved. I kinda want to just stay on the outskirts, I don't want a romantic relationship right now. Stay calm, brainslug. Everything is under control.

Definite social anxiety, at least a few prominent avoidant-schizoid traits. Plus other general confusion and strangeness.

"I need to get through my skull that just because I like someone, does not mean anything about them liking me."

That's very true. However, on occasion, it will be a mutual like. Working on the assumption that liking is always one-way would be sub-optimal.

Many people have some kind of anxiety around talking to other people, particularly if there IS some kind of attraction or interest beyond the topic of conversation. A question about maths therefore has the potential to develop. 99% of the time it won't. Forgetting your name two days in a row either suggests a cognitive problem of her own, or a lack of interest.
We think too much and feel too little.
 More than machinery, we need humanity.
 More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
