Eh, I'm ok, same old, same old. How are you?
Oh, I see. Well, I hear there's a lot about how influential this idea of "machismo" is in Latin culture...
That's true... and I think a lot of it has to do with immaturity. People really have trouble seeing what their own problems are sometimes. My boss always wants to talk about his opinions but doesn't want to hear about anyone else's, and then he gets irritated with us for being argumentative when we don't agree with him. It's super-annoying.
Well, for me, I worry there's something wrong with me because I never fall for anyone. ...Unless we're talking about fictional characters. That's the really frustrating part. It's different, and I worry that the part that's different is what allows me to feel that way about them... and it's not enough. I worry that I'm just incapable of falling for anyone real. It doesn't have to do with standards or expectations or anything, just the feeling of being strongly drawn to someone, feeling giddy and high around them at first, just loving their personality and wanting to be around them all the time. I mean, I agree that those aren't the most substantial parts of a relationship, but I do think they're important... because otherwise, you're just friends, right? What I want is to be just crazy in love with someone, and I worry a lot that it's just not possible for me, that my brain just isn't wired for it, or something. The hard thing about shipping is, I've probably mentioned this to you before, is that it's like having it, because I get that emotional high that I want, and that deep attachment... but at the same time, I don't have it, and it's really lonely. I agree that it's better not to go out with someone just so I'm not alone, though. I can't be with someone I'm not attracted to, it's just too awkward. Problem is that I'm just not attracted to very many people.
Oh, it's for me. I only knit clothes for myself.
