Newfound revelations

Don't you just love redundant titles? I do. ^_^

Anyway, I have just had a "newfound revelation." Every time I am depressed or lonely, I tend to withdraw away from the world and hide from all of my friends. I don't call anybody, I turn down every invitation to go out and have fun, and I coop myself up into my room feeling all lonely and depressed and guess what? All that only makes me MORE lonely and MORE depressed. I had always thought that if my friends leave me out or if that no one likes me anymore, than I should leave them alone and let them just have fun with each other. Apparently, that isn't good for either me or my friends because I only grower sadder and the next time I run into my friends, they just ask where I have been all this time and why I don't hang out anymore. So now, I have decided to do the opposite.

I learned the same thing that George Costanza from Seinfeld learned: if everything you do in your life is just not working out for you, try doing the opposite of it all and watch your life turn around.

So today, I ran into this guy I have been trying to avoid for the past two weeks and a half and instead of freaking out like I usually do, I smiled and said "Hi." What a difference that made.

Again, when I was feeling lonely and missing my friends, I did not just sit around and mope about it. I sat down and wrote them letters. (I know, that's not exactly the logical thing to do, but I am not particurlarly logical anyway.) Then I thought of giving my friends the letters, but I was afraid to call them in the chance that I might be bothering them. However, instead of sitting down and overanalyzing everything, I called them anyway and I got to talk to my friends and deliver the letters. Yay! See, what a difference a little "opposite" makes.

Peace. Out. My. People. ^_^
