Time to block it out :-)

[cybermule]

The first positive thing I'm going to do today is block someone's email address. Someone's pulling my strings online. Like I need a parental replacement to tell me how crap I am! So instead of just taking their negativity on myself and struggling not to believe their unpleasant accusations, I'm just going to block the address. Full stop. End of story.

Repeat to self: I am not shallow, hedonistic, ugly, hysterical or stupid :P

LATE UPDATE: 1100 words down on virtual paper for my essay. I'm sure you're all really interested ;)

I've done the bouncing around thing, but only with people I know anyway.

It takes a bit of nerve for me to talk to complete strangers sometimes, especially woman.

Yeah - interactions with the opposite sex are always scary :( I've forced myself to practice by wibbling at strangers, but it doesn't really kick in when it actually matters :P

I've usually waited to be chatted up, the pressure is on the other person then. That only usually happens once a year if that.

Yeah - the whole dating thing is a bit weird, and a bit stacked against men. I never notice when I'm being chatted up anyway *shrugs*

I can tell when I'm being chatted up, the person normally talks to just you for quite a while :)

But then I don't get chatted up much, I usually get the "my friend likes you" followed by the invitation to come and talk to them. Funny thing is the other person is often someone I hadn't even noticed due to them sitting down etc..

Heheh - might work for you, but I don't seriously believe for a moment that everyone who talks to me for ages is chatting me up :P

The "my friend likes you" approach reminds me of school *grins*

Indeed, but I would sooner have "my friend likes you" every weekend than none at all. I've had two relationships after such an occurances.
