“If I go out of my way to spend time with you, you must be important to me.”

“If I go out of my way to spend time with you, you must be important to me.”

I am slowly learning to stop feeling sorry for myself. I should not freak out when my friends are too busy to see me. I should not feel like I am alone in the world after spending one weekend alone.

I want to see what happens when we’re all alone, just the two of us, without anybody watching. I want to test our chemistry. I want to see how well we connect. 

There are times when I wish I had more friends, when I wish I had more things to do than just sit inside of my empty home.

Most of us sometimes experience negative or painful thoughts when left alone to think. Many people, myself included, like to use this time to beat up on ourselves and practice negative self-thought.

The truth is, I have friends, and I love them dearly. But that time alone is valuable to me.

If you’re fine being tired, stressed, and sub-optimal, don’t worry about recovery. Continue to focus on quantity over quality.

I don’t need a friend to help with homework, I’ll find a tutoring center. I don’t need a friend to give me advice, I’m probably better off seeking professional advice.

The truth is, you are afraid of yourself.
