introspection is. . .interesting.
it seems to me that a fair amount of my friends, especially friends i consider to be close, are friends with me only, or at least mainly because, i listen to them complain. i'm like the 'come bitch to me and i'll nod and say it's okay' friend.
how'd i end up here? i don't really like people who talk about themselves (mostly because i see too much of myself in them), and i was pretty sure i didn't like hearing about people's problems.
yet somehow. this.
i have a hypothesis, which is, roughly, that i attract people who like to whine about their problems because i'd rather hear about them being miserable than address the fact that i have plenty of my own problems, and that i should address said own problems before i deal with other, less important things.
this said, i'm going to continue to completely ignore everything that's preoccupying me, and go deal with the other people.
before you ask,
don't. i refuse, point-blank, to talk about what i'm dealing with.
you can know i have a cold though. that's okay :>
