Here we go again.

[Troy Spiral (13)]

Having not been out of the house to "socialize" in months , due to what seems like never-ending effects of a TBI/PTSD from a god-damned car accident from a thousand seven hundred and one years ago (or so it feels like), I'm reluctant to keep trying. I've been at this , and through this a dozen times.

Each instance I start feeling confident that I'm stronger and things are better things start to get better, some nonsense (from physical issues to panic attacks hospital stays to just people being the hoary old "psych issues are bullshit") hit me one too many times for my just-do-it mentality to brush off. Then poof, like Sisyphus my back at the bottom pushing the rock up again.

The last time I think my mind/body just said "fuck it" and that's how I got this months long hibernation streak. But, I finally got some things done this week for once. Sitting around the house afraid of the world doesn't get you squat except depressed, so suck it up troy, its been long enough. Hopefully tomorrow I'll start try number 1701-Z. The final try.

Just to let you know, If you do make it to a point for company, I'm still up for the front porch picnic

I worship entropy over elegance. I'm sure if any goth venue loses your presence, they're less goth for it. And they're not getting mine either, I'm too drunkj to drive.

But really, socializing seems more intimate or intellectual in any context outside of a bar or club.

If i get stuck with certain people without that context, me, who rarely gets bored, will go out of my mind due to being fluff-chatter locked at least in a bar setting the social ping pong saves you from that (if you want it to).

Its more about the one-on-one conversation (in any context), typically the larger the conversation group, the lower the common denominator of the subject matter becomes. You'd assume that means public places are less "intellectual" but , at least for me, i don't have that many people in my everyday life to talk about anything deep with, social gathering outlets are one place where you (might) find them. Often, people are afraid to bring up anything other than "how was your day" or "hey look-it my random pet pictures" , not because they don't find deeper things interesting, but because our culture is so anti-depth that it can almost be 'risky' to bring up anything of substance. =/

Not that I'm rushing out to a bar anytime real soon.

Yeah. I pretty much vlog for this reason. My hobbies get more expansive or in depth, and I can't spend hours talking about them with anyone because of their oddness or depth. But at the least I can scare more people, and I take the chance if its online.

I'm there with you , just online-only isn't the same. I've tried to use it as a replacement, just doesn't seem to work for me, at least not all that well. But the "log" concept is a hell of a lot better than whatever the facebook system is (some sort of Frankenstein that is not a log, nor a chat, nor a forum.. but has gobbled up even them that might otherwise not be interested due to its popularity).

Well i've been out a bit more. But now i'm sick as a dog with some sort of stomach / cold thing, not (i hope) to due with fallout from being social (there was some but it only lasted half a day till i got back to my "normal crappy" lol).

Been checking into that teleporter order, but they won't verify your contact information for security reasons...oh pooh. *shakes fist*

I must admit, I do miss stimulating conversations with colleagues over differences of opinions and the mock debates our family used to participate in before everyone began going their separate ways. DGN has become my latest intellectual playground due to the divers nature of its members and the inclusion of many topics of discussion which would be considered taboo in certain circles.

Although online interaction does not compete with person to person interaction, it comes in a close second behind the "phone call" in my book.
