some stuff...again

Yeah I know, again... I find myself holding stuff in again but I think I'm doing so for the simple sake of avoidance. I tend to keep quiet when I already know the answer, when I don't wanna hear the sermon, when I don't wanna hear someone else deciding my shit for me. So I say nothing. I even put myself on time out yesterday because it REALLY occurred to me what I was beginning to feel based on my own reaction to something. I questioned myself on why I reacted the way I did about being left hanging. I delved even deeper with the answer I came up with. Did the who, what and why of it all. And then I remembered that realistically, truly, honestly, deeply, I'm really nothing to someone other than a person behind a screen. I'm no one outside of a simple conversation. So I avoid saying or asking anything. Truthfully, I'd love to be more but I know that will never happen. In my past I always acted based on a guys que. Always laid back, go with the flow. But really that got me no where. A few months ago my life changed, I changed. I told myself not again. I already did the loyal puppy dog waiting on the side routine in the past. I vowed to never do that anymore. I'm purpose driven now. Death knocking at your door does that to you. Kicks you in the ass and wakes you up! For me I want so bad to "grab the prize", so to speak. Not gunna happen. I know it. So I say nothing.....told you all I didn't need stupid cupid....I'm stupid all on my own.

"A few months ago my life changed, I changed. I told myself not again" , i like that, the same happened to me :)
 
wow maybe we are kinda like twins here. I do the whole avoidance thing to because its easier than being let down. Been feeling the same. Most i can say is that you aren't alone in that. And i'm guessing thats a good start.
 
@mexdude...hope you benefitted with the changes. :)
@AZmetal...it ain't easy but I also realize it's a behavior of protecting myself and silence will get me absolutely no where. That's my struggle with it today.
 
i know exactly where you are coming from. i have spent most of my life in the back round. my problem is shyness iwould never speak unless spoken to.and this is my way of protecting myself. i can't trust you not to hurt me with what you know about me. i could go on and on but i won't. all i can say is for me untill i finally started being myself and not what i thought everyone else wanted to be it got better. cause you know what? the people you worry about don't give two shits who you are ,thats you giving them power over you and the sad thing is they don't even know they have it.
