I would just like to comment on a few things that I have been thinking about. Some of us tend to really let ourselves get depressed about the condition that we are in. We look at the status of our love lives and think "Why am I not good enough for anyone?" but we ignore all the factors that prove that perspective wrong. There have been very few people that I have known that didn't have someone overly interested in them. It is this level of interest that generally puts a person off and causes them to write the other off as a less than significant annoyance. The idea here is this; all these people wallowing in self pity ignore the ones that they are actually good enough for. It is a pretty unfair thing to do to equate these other people as so insignificant as to ignore them totally in your understanding of "anyone". I have caught myself from time to time feeling the same way, but fortunately I have caught myself every time and noticed that I am not being fair to those who are actually interested. It does not feel good to not be good enough for a person you are interested in and it is valid to be upset about it. It is not a healthy practice to over dramatize the situation and lie about your condition to yourself and others because it only makes you more depressed. Some people reading this might see this as an attack on them personally. I know a few people who recently have called me almost crying about this very thing. I just want to let those few know that this is not the inspiration for me writing this. I have recently had these feelings and spent some time reflecting on it and determined that I was not being honest with myself. In realizing that I actually felt a little better because I understood my condition wasn't as bad as I was making it out to be. This is not really the kind of material that I usually talk about but I decided I would just have an out of character moment. I have a lot more to say about this but I just got a phone call to join someone at the gym so I will leave it at this. Later all...
