Annoying, socially debilitating, yet strangely habit-forming. Why is that?

Seriously, Cronos, you need to look into this. Don't sweep it aside when you're moving. The one time I met you, you were very engaging. It's a personal pet peeve of mine that you self loathe because there is absolutely no reason for that. Cast any high school residue aside and realize you're you!

I do. Believe me, I do. And that's the problem.

It's a way of feeling alive. There are better ways.

This book is required reading.



"This is, hands down, one of the funniest books I've ever read. With so many self help books that have been written in the last 30 years, this book sarcastically and with much silliness and wit, does the exact opposite and tells you exactly HOW to be miserable. What it achieves is leaving you in a good mood because you are laughing so hard."

"This book is hysterical. It describes the self-destructive behaviors we all engage in, and presents them as things we should do if our our INTENT is to be miserable. Very funny, and quite perceptive."

I agree completely (and I was there too). This feeling you have is absolutely unwarranted and you should take whatever steps are necessary to permanently purge it from your psyche.

Stop acting like a girl. You have a good degree, you're moving to a cool city after being accepted into a post-grad program, you have (I assume) a modicum of personal hygiene, and according to Planet you're not socially inept.

Boo-hoo. Get over your HS stuff or whatever it is. Time to grow up.

i understand, trust me. Habit is the word though. There are ways to counter the habit and start a new one - one where you're comfortable with yourself.

If only it was that easy, Haltz, but it's not.
