5 Things I Hate Talking About

1. Overall I am learning to appreciate the way I look, but I worry I’ll never have a boyfriend because of my looks.

It’s stupid and it’s juvenile. It’s also how I feel.

2. I worry that I live too much inside my own mind.

I narrate each day to myself. I imagine being an onlooker and wondering what I’d think of me.

3. I love my friends, but I rarely want to hang out with them.

I’d much rather stay home by myself; do some writing and reading. Does it make me weird?

4. I’m scared for the future.

What’s going to happen to me? I’d like to be a writer or an artist. Either one sounds like an unsteady career path right now. The phrase “starving artist” always floats in my mind.

5. I hate how shy I am.

_If I could just start a conversation on a topic I’m well-versed in, it could go on for hours. _

We can look back and give advice, but we’re rougher on ourselves than we think. Thanks for listening.

    2, 3, and 4.
    As for 5, most people think I’m shy, but I’m afraid I’m too open. There’s nothing I’ve never told anyone, except other people’s secrets.

    I’m a little more open then this. but everyone worries about the future that’s life! As for looks, if everyone was blind then it wouldn’t matter, and it shouldn’t. Relationships shouldn’t be based on how you look. sadly morst of them are, but that’s why they don’t last.

    wow blusparrow,” if everyone was blind then it wouldn’t matter”...that’s deep on so many levels..I like this ficlet..i can’t say that i can relate to any of these things but the one about the future..is very true..it’s worth being scared.and being “normal” is hardly something to strive toward..Being “different” is much more interesting..=)

    Very open and honest, with a touch of realism at the end. Thanks for sharing. I have noticed as I’ve gotten older how more and more relationships wind up being based on less superficial things.

    Being normal is highly overated,I agree with Fae. We of Ficlets are a quirky bunch, the best group i’ve ever been in!!

    We have unique minds and thoughts and aren’t afraid to put them up for all to see and comment upon.

    I know I live in my own mind. I’m either slowly going insane or reaching that point in life where you really should be a bit more social.

    Ficlets is not the place for those who lead normal lives. Welcome and enjoy.

    I agree w/ all of them. I also love how all of us on this site are the same: we’re diferent. It’s really cool, especially since we vary in ages. ♥

    I think you’re too hard on yourself and worry too much about what other people think of you. It’s not necessarily bad, and I’m not trying to insult you. It just seems that way. I mean, I barely know you.
    And I agree with everyone else. Normalcy is the death of the world.
