Another not-so-long post...
Describing my feelings about being quiet and "plastered to the social wall" can be kind of difficult. On one hand, fading into the background is easy, which when I think about it is sad; but when there are dramatized situations among classmates I can just 'go away'.
However, everyday I long and crave being around people, interacting with others can be so satisfying. Sometimes I measure a good day by how many people I've talked to or speaking with a person I have had trouble working up the courage to approach.
I wish having a social life was easy. But then it wouldn't be life would it?
Slowly I have been moving in a positive direction, mainly having to do with me be comfortable with myself.
I do have friends, me being the softer spoken addition to the group. Being a shy girl hasn't totally impeded my ability to make friends, but if my one friend "Lips" didn't sit next to me that one day, I would probably be sitting alone reading my book, on the outside looking in.
Observations and thoughts to come....
