Actually Hell is other People
I just read an interesting article that actually made me feel pretty good about myself. It was titled "Actually, hell is other people" you may have to go through some advertising to get to it though. It's basically about how american's are becoming loners. and that some people prefer little or no close friends. I'm actually relieved that I'm not the only one feeling this way. For such a long time I felt that there was something wrong with me that I just didn't make the effort to make friends and even when I did I ended up getting stabbed in the back. where's the benefit in having so many friends you can't focus or you're too busy dealing with them you can't focus on your own life? I think I understand when kevin kept saying he was ok with the sidekick persona with friends that i tried so hard to to get away from as it seemed to be the position I always fell into as a kid because of lack of confidence. and now that i've gotten a little more confident, I can't look at those people in the same way. I've outgrown them. But the sidekick thing may actually be a smarter place to be as you have the luxury of saying you have friends (but truly are the divas ever gonna really be there for you?) but you can drop off the earth for awhile whenever you decide that you prefer your own company after awhile. interesting.
