Things Need To Change!
15 years ago
About myself, I mean.
I've come to realize that I'm a bit of mystery - that not much is known about me on a personal level, only that I often dress in button up shirts only buttoned by two or three buttons with either a sleeveless shirt or no shirt underneath, that I don't speak very much, and that I'm very amorous and I let my actions speak for me rather than my voice.
I dress the way I do because it's comfortable. Pure and simple. I love button up shirts, I love how they look, and in the past I've been really uncomfortable with my body - I would never bee seen out of my bedroom or bathroom without a shirt unless I had a reason and even then, while in my room the only time I took off my shirt was to change it. I'm just recently becoming comfortable with myself again, and I'm expressing it.
I've always been the quiet one in my family. It's a fear of mine to pipe up and have everyone either think I'm weird, rude, stupid, or all the above. With my father, you never spoke unless you were spoken to. That being said, I love talking about many things - art, music, books, the martial arts, performance arts, games, technology, animals (duh), the supernatural, puzzles and riddles, and various other things. If a conversation is going on and I'm not talking, it's because I don't feel like I have anything to add to the conversation in a positive way or I just don't think what I have to say is worth saying. I much prefer to listen to others than speak myself, anyway.
Yes, I'm very touchy-feely, and that's putting it lightly. I've lost girlfriends and boyfriends because I wasn't 'physical enough', and I'm tired of feeling...well, alone. There's other reasons as well, but then I'd be getting into a more metaphysical level and that's probably a topic for another journal. :P
I don't like smothering people, I don't like being selfish, I don't like being rude, and I sure don't like feeling like a mute in the corner. Thus why I need to change. Please, tell me if I'm being too grabby. Invite me to speak. Tell me if I'm being rude. I will appreciate you more. I don't want people to be wary about talking to me - my feelings don't get hurt easily. I'm a big boy - I can handle a bit of criticism. ;)
If there's anything else you can think of, PLEASE let me know - I want to be someone people are genuinely happy to see and talk to, not just acknowledge.
