Heh - I never know when a holiday is coming up - unless someone, by chance, mentions it ... (It's a good thing I get paid per-hour).

In fact, you are becoming real defensive now which sends up red flags that there is more to this. Note: Your response to him (in the original thread) made me feel defensive - and not because I agree / nor have a relationship to speak of.

But apparently a common enough issue to cause a recall...

I'm not saying they dont' legitimately experience it, but it's probably not what they think it is. So... you're saying ... it's kind've like our social fears? Being able to lose one's sense of reality is such a cool part of being human (well, sometimes, heh). It's why we can be scared while watching a movie, etc.

I really shouldnt read this as I am in a big house all alone as my family are away for the bank holiday weekend! I should sleep but I fear I've already read too much. Creepy stuff! It's funny how listening to ghost stories can put one in the mood - even if/when they don't believe in ghosts. - - - During my teen years, my room was in the basement and I spent most of my time down there. I could tell where people were on the floor above me by the creeking sounds. (Note: I lived in a very rural woodsy area). One night when everyone was away and the doors locked, I heard the creeking steps of someone walking down the hall from the side door to the kitchen. I was so freeked out I carried the cat upstairs - were I to have seen someone, they would have got a clawing cat thrown at them. But there was no-one. Most likely the house settling - but the effects were exactly as they were when someone walked down that hall... - - - On the other hand... one night as I was waking up (in the dark), hit the metal stand next to the bed against the wall which make a crazy ruccus, scared me causing me to flail hitting it more times... Ah, the fun. - - - Even more fun is, during the last year, I'd sometimes hear screams (death cries?) while waking up - often enough for me to go outside looking for what I'd heard. (It's stopped happening, but it was one of those thing that put one's heart into action). This one, of course, would be some mental state - not unlike end-of-sleep-period recurring dreams. (My brother, when younger, used to wake up to the sounds of dogs barking... interestingly, his sleeping bag had pictures of dogs all over it).

I don't think 8 months is enough time to decide if you want to spend the rest of your life with someone. On the other hand, it may be enough time to know that you don't want to spend the rest of your life with them...

Are you sure it was because she all of a sudden showed her true colors, or could it be you don't want to be tied down/ fear? I'm guessing he's pretty sure since he's been basically listing the same indicators that made him decide to drop it off over and over... How are exactly are you living proof? I am unclear how this experience could have possibly removed your shyness. Shyness does not mysteriously vanish when you find a short term relationship. Many shybies here have had or are in relationships now and are still shy. There really is nothing in your story that would explain shyness going away. I believe the idea is that he took the chance, experienced a relationship, and now it may be much easier the next time around... Kind've like that hindering wall of 1st-time-ness that many of us experience with many things. (ie. harder the first time than any other). (Though, wish it were a single channel of shyness that I were affected by instead of being pervaded by it).

Though I don't know Chemistry's situation (and I'd suggest, neither do you all), I'd have to suggest that previous two posts fealt very assumptive. In both posts, situations that may not have matched Chemstry's situation, were presented as proof-esque examples. The first post, in particular, sounded like a flat out attack. (Note: I'm not defending Chemistry as much as picking on you all for implying situation in Chemistry's post (ie. putting works in Chemistry's mouth)). Shame on everyone in the world. Might be better to use suggestive commentary instead of assumptive blaming next time.

Back during my college days I used to have severe episodes of despression... (I used to drive when I was depressed - the only way to get away from everyone ... often up into the hills or at least away from towns...). Interestingly, I believe depression leaves it's mark on you... often making it easy to fall back into depression (or have a sense of depression about you). Since those torrid days, I actually tend toward depression, as if it's like a base state, when I'm not consumed with work or other things. (I definately have a depressed outlook on life - as if I know where it's going ... or rather, not going (ex: failed or unachievable potential)). I think, that at some point, I started excepting the tradgedy of situation and started being able to get pasted the lows while becoming alot more caustic / sarcastic. (It's funny, I often talk in sarcastic prose without even having the sarcastic tone of voice). Interestingly, I have this extreme optomistic (but not realistic side)... and I let it flair, as it gets me by. I'm guessing this is similar to the period where you had constant joy. (This may be a manic side - when I was younger I'd lie awake at night comprehending the vast potential that lie before me - due to my soft-dev skills). Life is a strange beast... you need a good stick to beat it down sometimes.

All Pnats has to do is glue a couple of wieners to the side and it will be spot on ;D Heh, I was thinking more along the lines of: (Click for larger version)Back on topic - wish I had something supportive to say. Sometimes I wish there was just a way to turn off emotions - though I'd probably have shut the switch off permanently by now.
