blindcrow replied to your post: Shit is too hard. I give up by proxy. I, of course, mean both proper social interactions as well as the game itself.
You have a husband. And a job. One of these days I hope to gain at least one of those things. I might get a wife instead though, as a personal preference over husbands. I will need more then my looks and quirky sense of humor to acquire them.
You are actually the reason I started applying these concepts to social interactions, when I started realizing how much I could dominate a conversation in the group. It was rude and embarrassing after analysis. I wonder just how many people I “browncoated” by being too passionate about what I love and ignoring their own voices. I wonder what opportunities I squandered by doing my own thing outside of what was expected. Once I actually started listening, I found we were much better friends then I had ever realized. What battles were I fighting that I didn’t need to? What have I ignored that I should have loved? What battles did I surrender, when I should have given it my all?
Friends are not enemies, and not all of life is a battle. It’s much more fun when you know the rules and everyone can have a good time together. It seems pretty basic, but I’m still fairly shit at it.
