I mean she's an elder.

So, when you talk to people for longer than 5 minutes and you go quiet, what if I said to you that you need to keep talking?
What would happen?


I wouldn't know what to say. My mind goes blank.

Unless there's a purpose to talk, work to discuss etc. I just can't think of a single thing to say. And unless I find someone extremely interesting and they're talking about stuff that I know about and am interested in, I'm not interested in talking about it. I find most people just want to talk about crap. And I'm not into sports or the weather.

I don't know. Perhaps, that's why I'm alone. Besides, I also feel I give off what I call, "Go Away" vibes. I don't mean to. It just happens.



But, when I was in my relationship with my ex, I was an extremely caring, helpful, considerate, loving person. And even then, sometimes when we went out for dinner, neither one of us would talk because we couldn't think of anything to say, but we were both cool with that. Sometimes, silence isn't a bad thing. In fact, I quite like it.

But we did talk of course. If ever I had anything to say to her, we were talking pretty much most of the time because we felt comfortable with each other. We used to talk a lot. But just not about the weather and rubbish like that!

My brain doesn't function well under pressure.

Mine does, if I have a role - a job to carry out. I can also remain calm when all around me is in chaos. I seem to detach. It's only later, that things affect me. I seem to have a delayed reaction to stressful, upsetting events.

But being stuck in a one on one situation where I have no role to carry out. Just a plain simple social situation really screws me over.

Even like when we used to go out after work to socialise, I was always quiet because I didn't know how to join in. I couldn't think of anything to say. If what was being talked about, I did think of something to say, I could never get a word in and I was too "shy/reserved" for want of a better explanation to say anything and the conversation used to move so fast that by the time I decided to say something, it was too late.

Unless of course, I had a few beers under my belt. Then I could talk, but I never knew what the people with whom I was talking to thought about what I said. But in that state, I didn't really care either.

People like me when I drink. I seem to attract all the alcoholics wherever I work. It's as though it's tattooed on my forehead. I think, because I'm usually awkward in conversation/chitchat, they want to get me intoxicated, thinking I'll open up - AND BOY DO I. I open the floodgates. But they do seem to like me when I'm a bit more relaxed under the influence because they keep inviting me to go drink after work. :oops:

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to post on WP.
My responses are getting shorter and simpler.
I couldn't even explain to someone how I got my diagnosis.
So I posted a useless answer to their question when I could have helped.
I couldn't formulate a response although I tried for about an hour.

That's really about the only time they're interested in me but I don't mind that. Going to lunch with them sober would be (and has been) painful.

Unless I get to know someone well and get along well with them (like Kato and Shane), I'm awkward. If I get to know them well, well then I'm normal (I think).

Good night.

You need to stress less about what you write. You need to stress less (says the sad, depressed man).

Really, it doesn't matter. I re-edit my posts like a million times and even then, no-one pays any mind to them so I gave up stressing about what I write. I figured, if it's going to be overlooked anyway, why stress over what I write and I've found, since coming to that conclusion, I've been a lot less stressed and more free to write exactly what I want to say. It lifts the pressure off what you want to say when you know whatever you say is going to be taken with a pinch of salt anyway.

Say whatever you want. Speak your mind. Thoughts come freely. Write them down as they come. And keep in mind, it doesn't really matter anyway. No pressure

No.
I feel brain dead.
Maybe because I have a massive migraine.
