In high school, I was not really sure whether or not I existed. Many of the really stupid things I did were in order to get attention whether positive or negative. That lasted well into college... wait, still do them today. :( Just better now. :)
Have found that people give me better attention now than I feel I used to get. Not sure where that change occurred. Have a feeling the change has more to do with me noticing the attention and not some overall change in everyone else. This is only because I conceptualize everyone changing where I have not. Dunno. Definitely a good thing and should probably not overanalyze it. Just want things to remain good.
Next thing I need to solve is my facial expressions. On that end, I am like a mute. People keep asking whether or not I am having a good time. My face is expressionless or negative while I am having a good time.
Posted by Ezra at October 19, 2003 11:18 PMDon't worry about that sort of thing. You can't plaster a cheesey smile on your face because that's the way you're supposed to look. People always misconstrue my reactions and tone of voice. It's not your problem. It's everyone else who's trying to overanalyze you to death. If you're happy... just say you're having a good time. It's impossible to train yourself into smiles.
