I think I’ve finally figured out what my problem is (in reference to the last post.)
I want people to like me. Wow, I really wish it was that simple, and maybe it is is? That was confusing. More elaborately, I think it can boil down to this.
- I want people to like me.
- I don’t want talk to people because I am afraid.
- I am afraid of making a fool of myself.
- To avoid talking in order to prevent the fool bit, I employ sarcasm, rude comments, or anything else capable of keeping people at a safe distance from me.
I think that is it; I don’t like it.
