No matter what....

We'll tell ourselves anything, won't we? Anything that seems to stave off the pain.. or the possibility thereof. We'll say that nothing can hurt us, and that things will be, and that the changes of the world won't phase or graze, as long as we move with them...

Stupid.

When i say "we," with anything like this, ever, i mean Me.

that does make the intent much clearer, but i also ask if you note anything i do as being that way. i dont get other people's perspectives on myself much, and i worry about being left alone with my own stupidity and my head full of yes-men... i cant be like Stalin...

"*bang!* stupid yes-man. bring me another advisor!"

one does wonder, once you recognize your actions, do you do anything to correct them, or do you let your recognition shape the actions through its presence?

Well, Sartre says that this, then, is Angst. Next comes Transcendence. I move past that, and change it. But right now, i'm still in Angst. Anguish at the recognistion of my failings, and knowing that the only reason they exist is because i let them.

And no, you haven't, as far as i've seen. You've addressed situations cogently, and worked through to where you need to be.

Good Job.

i suppose this is why you get called angsty so much. i wish you luck moving through to transcendence as i suspect your problems are much bigger than mine and require more time with the angsty than i do.

I honestly don't know about "Bigger," but they certainly seem huge to me... I'm really just being a putz. Probably. Don't mind me. i wore the "Oh crap, you're going to try cheer me up, aren't you?" shirt, today, for a reason... Just need the Time-thing...
