Yeah, I am beginning to understand this. I have been working on myself emotionally this summer, healing myself and becoming more confident and also letting go of the cultural programming that society has programmed us with like "its bad if you get rejected" or "you can't just go talk to any girl you find attractive".
I haven't approached any girls in a while because I actually feel like I am making so much progress emotionally right now that I am better off continuing to heal/build confidence but eventually I am going to reach a point where my frustration of not having a girlfriend for such a long time (Ive only had two girls in my 32 years) will boil over and I will start approaching girls like im on a mission.

I have 2 that I tend to talk about things with that never come up in conversations with other people.
One is a good buddy that I used to play soccer with from age 8 - 18. We were never really that close, just good friends because we hung out in the same group most of our lives. The past couple years since I moved back home we have hung out quite a bit just us two doing things like kayaking/fishing, playing strategy games against each other, hiking, psychedelics, etc. During these times we are able to really pick each others brains and discuss things of said nature. I am moving in a couple weeks out west and am pretty bummed about not being able to hang out with him regularly. I should let him know how awesome he is before I move.
The other person is my girlfriend, which is why I feel so connected with her at times. A lot of the time it will be while we are laying in bed, lights off, and I am almost going in and out of sleep. We will just lay there for an hour or two talking about 'life' and how it relates to all sorts of things. We see the world with very different eyes as she is an artist and I am more of a scientist in the way we look at life. It is always great to hear a different perspective than mine, I love how much I learn from her every day.

You should keep your thoughts and problems to yourself. Nobody cares, and if they do, they will eventually use their knowledge to punish you for non compliance with their regime. Tell no one anything you wouldn't want them repeating. Loose lips sink ships. Today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Backstabbing bitches abound.

So basically it's okay for you to lie to people but others are the backstabbers?

So, basically, what the fuck? Do I know you, do you know me? What the FUCK with this accusation? It's OK for me to lie to people?
I'd say more, but frankly you are not thinking clearly, or if you think you are you need to read the fucking rules of the forum.
AH.
OK here's the real deal. You've added nothing but some weird picture of the nervous system, since coming onto the forum. You are smugly unknowing of anything. You basically make zero sense, yet are prickly about thinking you do.
Am I "connecting" here?
Fuck.

Start making sense and your shill payoff goes up. I'd explain it in more detail but years of trying to interpret your babble has me not wanting to even try.

There is only one person who I have much contact with these days, and that is an ex co-worker of mine. We love talking shit about work and do plenty of venting, but she's one of the very few people who I connect with on an emotional level. We share similar struggles, as we're both pretty lost as far as what we are doing with our lives, or whether it's all even worth it anymore. We don't always agree on everything, but she knows me better than most people and accepts my faults, as I do hers. The mutual respect is there. Other than that, I'm a pretty hardcore loner. I'd say 96% of the time, I'm alone. It's what I've always known though, so it's all good.
Otherwise, Shroomery is about as social as it gets for me.

I've actually found the opposite of this to be true. Opening up to my friends has brought about a huge amount of bonding since I started doing so. Plus, much merriment and laughter. Opening up to others seems to inspire them to open up to you in return, and in doing so, I find we end up finding a lot of humour in the cruel ironies of life.
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

crissel said: I lately realized that I might not have this friend or these friends. I would really love to talk about philosophy, purpose in life, ...
will gladly settle for someone with whom spontaneous hysterical laughter happens frequently
but many settle for a pet
discussing "purpose in life" etc. is over rated you know?... like the period in Woody Allen's career when he stopped making comedies and did all those draggy New York City relationship movies
if some one wants to totally open up there's holotropic breath therapy but a steady diet of emotional release is very unbalanced
it all comes back to balance when we get energetically congested intimacy can seem like heaven, too much intimacy and privacy and solitude seem like heaven ...
