i realized some things the other day:
i have likes, i have dislikes,
i agree, semi-agree, disagree, semi-disagree,
but i can't form opinions.
this doesn't help with my terror of losing the one i love.
i can't keep up a conversation, even about my obsessions.
everything i say, if it's not an expression of love, i regret.
in fact, it's usually an emotional sh tstorm when i attempt to join in a conversation and can't "keep up".
i had an anxiety attack when my boyfriend's bandmate asked me what cd i wanted to listen to [music is not one of my obsessions, so i do not have much of an opinion...just likes/dislikes...i said i didn't know, and he asked again, and the same thing happened again, and i had to wait until my bf had left the room to remind him that with my as, i really only have one obsession at a time, occasionally two, and i don't really know about anything else. i just cease learning about everything else without trying to. now that i'm in college again, guess what? my obsession is academics/grades. that means i can barely even talk about gaming, my most prominent obsession since i was a baby [i was in nintendo power at age three, if that says anything about it]. so, i'm essentially usele---wait, i have to think of some bullsh t cbt script the doctors would feed me---::sarcastic tone:: i often find myself feeling weak and desperate, but i know i am a good person, now i'm going to take deep breaths and feel the muscles contract from my toes to my shoulders, blah blah blah, and instead of feeling useless and like i can't hold a conversation, i'll feel grateful for being unique, blah blah blah BULLSH T. i thought i'd throw that out there, since i usually have to tell people therapy usually does more harm than good for me. and it IS possible for that to be the case. i do NOT want people to argue with me about cbt, but that's probably what it will turn into, since i'm not afraid to excploit my own weaknesses or talk sh t about myself.
in fact, if i showed an acquaintance half the sh t i write, and change it so that it sounds like i'm describing "some girl i know", i'm really curious about how many people i like will say very bad things about the way i feel.
nothing is interesting, nothing holds my attention, and i wish i was mute half the time. i can give answers in class with a snap of the fingers because X MUST yield Y and i've memorized it over and over again, and i really am loving when i'm not afraid, so expressing affection is alright, but any other situation that depends on speech makes me feel tremendously stupid. i can't "explain" or "summarize" things unless, as previously stated, X MUST yield Y, and i've studied that over and over again. otherwise i end up having long-winded, confusing ramblings that are so disorganized the listener has no idea what i'm talking about. but usually, i say something emotion-based [NOT opinion-based, but based on like/dislike/agree/disagree and inbetween], and guess what? I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT. therefore, i either don't know what i'm talking about [even when i do], or i'm a liar.
anyway, end. i have to shape up, because my sweetheart is still up and has started to chat with me.
::a certain female member and two male members rip me apart for this thread, just so they feel big and tough and dominant for rubbing the fact that i'm irrational in my face::
