❓ Am I The Only One...

[Deleted member 1306910]

Am I The Only one who assumes that if someone doesn't reach out that they don't want to talk to you so you don't reach out to them and it turns into a weird self fulfilling prophecy?

I might be like this. But my question is...

Am I the only one who assumes that when no one reaches out for a long period of time, it has to do with something you did wrong? And further, that no one likes me or wants to talk to me and I then try not to bother anyone by reaching out?

Am I the only one who lets it become a spiral of very unhealthy aspect?

You are not the only one Nevyn.

Am I the only one who spends time helping her colleagues that I end up staying on for hours afterwards catching up on my own work?

At one time of thought that way. Then you have to realize we are all on this site either for kicks, for fun or some form of escape. For the latter, we all have issues we deal with. Some of us have issues way beyond our circumstances or control. I’ve learned to stop having expectations. They always fall through the cracks...at least mine do, quite often. Lost forever.

You’re my friend, I like you but I’m in a hellhole of my own. Maybe I’m not the one were expecting. I’ve got some MAJOR issues going on. Why else would I be in the kitchen instead of asleep?

You're right. And I do a lot of moaning and whinging. It surely turns people off of trying to connect with me. But if you ever need to talk or just vent? You have my number. I am always available after 10pm central.

But I can see your point, Nevyn. Sometimes you do feel as if you did something wrong. Sometimes it’s a misunderstanding, sometimes the other person has moved on, perhaps not gracefully. It can be scary to take the step of finding out which.

Yes. Especially here on Lit. Communication is hard in just text, you can't see body language or expression or hear tone. I know a lot of what I have to say here gets taken badly, in ways I do not intend. I sometimes wonder if half this site has me on ignore because of it.

Nice Most days I’m not able to chat. The walls are paper thin here. Not until the weekend though. Then I’m at the condo.

Am I the only one who has a cut-off point during the working day, when only coffee is right before and only tea is right after?

Am I the only one who thought Netflix and chill meant actually watching a movie on Netfkix and, you know, chilling?

Am I the only one who loves when a thread from 5+ years ago gets bumped and just scrolls through all the Litsters I have never seen and wonder about the Lit lives they led?

Nope. I do it. Then feel slightly sad that relationships have faded with some.

 

[MariSageFairy]

Am I also the only one to wonder how a merkitty can live a normal life
with the fish half scared of being eaten by the cat half,
and the cat half afraid of being drowned by the fish half?

Am I the only one that now wants a fish tank full of merkitties?

That's interesting, it reminds me of a line from the movie Sideways in which Viginia Madsen wonders about the people who made the wine years before.

I wonder more of what became of the Litsters who left, why they might of left and how they made the break.

I call them dead soldiers. Alas, a few probably are actually dead

Yes, you are only on your 3rd....passed that around 7am. Yes, I have a problem, I know it.

I definitely prefer sassy and spicy to saccharine, but I don't put down sweet as easily.

Am I the only one who still tries to use traditional punctuation in text messages?

No. Not using text punctuation and shortening words drives me crazy.
