Something I've noticed.
17 years ago
People avoid talking to me as of late.
It's odd.
I show a little bit of reaching out, and then they push my arms back and ignore me until I get better enough to feign happiness.
I think something is wrong with me.

FA+

This is mainly aimed at those I talk to daily, including but not limited to my twenty-one year-old love interest.
Hurrah for being one's own worst critic.
She is a very complicated woman.
At first it seems like she's way into me, then she'll just massively ignore me, and then wonder why I get upset.

Wabbit was all like: First, you gotta pay 'em back the 50 bucks you owe 'em or something. ^.^

Baby wabbit sayeth:: I think something is wrong with one out of 3 in America
(Last time I heard the statistics on that sort of thing).
Bottom line... they say there's good and bad in everyone, which I DO believe... but, unfortunately, with the way America seems to love to hate and hate to love, you can't just simply go around handing out trust to everyone who smiles and calls themselves you "good friend", "best buddy", "life lone pal", and all.
It IS important to be nice... VERY important, in fact (As I'm finally trying to come to terms with myself here). but It's likewise equally important to try not to be a fool as well. teh internets (much like life in the real world) is not always nice, since not all of the people are nice or trustworthy. So, just always try to bear that in mind.
I tell you these things to try to help you... so, that way you don't kid yourself about how not all people are as nice and as trustworthy as they feel you're supposed to believe they are.
Never figure every last person who types a smiley emote is friendly, and likewise never assume that just because you stretch out your hand in friendship (supposedly) that every last person out here is going to accept that. After all, if it's there first time running into you out here, well then they don't know you. Trust tends to be something that gets earned over time slowly.
Outstretched electronic arms like you offer may or may not be for real... how are they supposed to know that? Simply because you tell them "You can trust me" *Shrugs* Maybe they can trust you, maybe they can't... but, again... such things like trust take time to build. So, perhaps be more realistic in your approach to that sort of thing and realize that often times, we don't pick our friends, our friends pick us.
Btw, sorry for the loooooong comment.
