Get in in-depth discussion with guys. Unless we’re arguing, it just doesn’t get that deep. I lose interest incredibly fast. Common sense says it’s hormones/sexual attraction that allows me to stay interested in a conversation with a girl for hours on end, but I prefer to think my subconscious is just sexist against guys.
I think the only thing that keeps us all sane most of the time is we are gifted with the ability to somehow temporarily forget how screwed up our situations are and just be happy.
Talking to someone new, then realizing I’m not nervous, I’m not shaking, I’m not cold. In mere moments I have gained with one person what I have yet to gain with people I’ve known for years…. comfort.
I have made a friend, a real one.
We all strive for that second chance. It’s appealing to us, the idea of being able to screw up then move on as if nothing happened. Sometimes we like starting all over again simply to escape a rut. What do you do when you get bored of a game? You make a new character, replay on a harder difficulty, etc etc. You don’t stop playing the game, you just change it up a little. I think that’s what I need to do with my life right now, make a new character spice things up a bit.
