i was reading the abortion thread and thinking, what a bunch of nuts, and that got me to thinking. i can be a real fucking crusader at times. Not all the time. But if i don't get my way in a matter that i think of as right or wrong, i get crazy. i'm ready to leap over buildings and eat my own young. So, i guess i could be one of those nuts, under the right circumstances.

The more i think about it, the more i realise that my reluctance to interact with most people isn't due to shyness or craziness, as i always thought, but rather a kind of snobbery. i don't talk to people because i don't think they're worth it. Few people live up to my expectations (even me!) i am constantly disappointed in others. This results in a paranoid view of life.
i see the world as a predominately hostile place. i see myself as a victim, or a potential victim. i regard others with suspicion.

Okay, this is another "confession thread". The internet is great for confessions. At least as good as a Catholic priest. Sorry if all this introspective shit bugs you. i guess you don't have too read it. Except it's too late now.

Same, SorcJ.

It's what happens when you get excessive praise/excessive criticism as a kid really. You start holding everyone up to immesurable standards.

My advice to you is to remember idealism is something to measure up to, not a thick ruler to beat people over the head with.
