Its called (we call it) emotional promiscuity.
Something she and I do quite well.
And often when we are feeling a bit more 'together' we think about what we said, and feel like it was like having been drunk, and being told what you did the night before.My General follow up to that behaviour is driving people crazy with my repeated apologies.
And I always always say
"Thanks for putting up with me"Which I think is a perfectly valid thing to say in my case, but of course in yours I think,
"What on earth are you apologizing for?"
Oh ya, I can tell you were just getting on everyones nerves talking about how lonely you are
what a freak, being lonely, and admitting it,Umm, Jay,
Give your toque a spin,
I know, open minded as people claim to be, I think men still feel they need to pretend not to be lonely.
We all feel that way, I don't even think its a generalization. And when someone mentions it, there is often a collective sigh of relief...
"you mean its not just me?"
And that helps to somehow, lessen that alienated feeling.Just a hunch but I think if I go on anymore, your going to feel self conscious.
So I won'tBut, Really,
That is what we are here for,
And even if we weren't, it couldn't have been considered something to be "put up with" anyway.Silly,
Gabbi.
