Make sure that one of those friends is yourself.

I don't believe that I'm friends with myself.
I've heard that you must like or your love yourself before you can like or love others.

It's tough to give what you do not have?

No, you haven't wasted your week-end. You've learned and you've taught. That's what we do in relationships.

Yeah, I really need to go to bed earlier on Sunday nights though. If I complete my assignments and studying on Friday, then I can enjoy Saturday and Sunday and refresh my memory Monday. It doesn't go that way though. I wind up tired throughout the week due to poor decisions.

You've got a lot going for you.

Yes, I do. To the extent you think? I'm not sure. Thanks for the encouragement.

People who are introverts tend to have a lot of inner dialogue, and you posting this proves that you do.

Not everybody is a bullshitter assclown all the time (thank God). Life isn't a reality show. I wish I had understood my tendency towards introversion earlier on in life and just accepted it. It would have saved me a lot of stress.

I have friends who are total extroverts. I have learned to keep boundaries and say "No" when I really don't feel like hanging out. I always, always say "thanks for thinking of me" when I turn down an invitation, because I want the invitations to keep coming. I just want to pick which ones I enjoin.

Yes, I have a good eye and occasionally overcomplicate stuff. Some sarcasm and jokes fly over my head because I overanalyze them.

Sadly, I get few invitations to do things. And what's really bugged me for at least the past 4 years is that despite having Facebook accounts, a twitter, a cell phone, and an email address, people rarely would communicate with me when we weren't face to face. I feel like I've always had to go after people, and no one's ever chasing me. I guess I haven't done enough for people to start wanting to do things with me, yet these "friends" make time for their other "friends", or so it seems.

I found multiple girls at my high school attractive, but none of them were into me; I just remained acquainted with them. The way I see it, I've been single for 20 years. I can go another 20 years without a significant other. I haven't had an ideal bud ever, so I can go another 20 years without having such a close friend.
