My job is lonely and doesn't pay me, literally, at all. The lack of money means I really can't do much of anything except stay home, and I cannot stand on my own feet, which is a great source of pride for me. This is a bad place to be, and I don't know how to escape it. This causes despair.
There are a few females in my life, most of whom I know via the internet, who live a day's trip away. A month ago all of them were arranging ways to see me in person. Currently, two have since acquired partners, leaving me to feel like the platonic gay friend. I got especially upset when a few girls have spoken to me as though they were doing me a favor in talking to me. Granted, I was probably a little needier than I should have been, but if we were to look into their past histories with me, I think we would have see who has always been the one clamoring for affection. My pride is something that keeps me rigid, that keeps me standing: I do not show dark, vulnerable emotions, not because someone could hurt me (maybe that's why), but because I need to be seen as a strong, able man. To think that someone sees me as less, or as a clingy boy, that devastated me when I was already beginning to go to dark places.
I realized that I need to just live in real life, where I am, with real people. These girls are not who I am. I need to take an active role in my life, and just do more. I am joining a fraternity, puke if you want, but I am still the same person, and I would rather regret doing it than regret not doing it.
As an update, SL and I have gone rounds a few times over different arrangements to see one another. I am still feeling a little weird about the whole thing, but I am planning on visiting with her sometime in the next week face to face and modeling for her.
Which brings me to HNT: a new picture will be posted tomorrow, so I expect to see my blog hits go up exponentially on Thursday like they typically do. An interesting side note, someone found my blog by googling: "naked nude male men."
Am I that repetitive?
I think you are absolutely right - you will always regret not doing something more than you will trying it out!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about showing the vulnerability...
