You can only be beside yourself for so long before the loneliness sets in. Do you know how difficult it is to want to get to truly know people but be completely fucking scared you've already fucked up your chances with them after saying hello? That fear keeps people at arm's length and when you think you've mustered the confidence to reach out, you stop and realize you look like a creep for asking after so long.It's a pathetic irony that keeps digging itself a deeper and deeper hole.
Cheers for the rant. I must be an even bigger piece of shit than I fucking thought.

You have to try and break out of the cycle, though.
The thing is that if you think that you will appear creepy because you don't talk, then you are. If you just talk to someone, then you aren't creepy. Just talk and see where the conversation goes. If it doesn't go anywhere, no big deal. Lots of people out there and some of them will be willing to talk to you.
Just last night, I had to take a bus to get around(thanks, that vacuum hose joint on the RX-8. Really appreciate you snapping into pieces). There is a girl besides that's just playing on her phone and I just started talking to her. It went pretty well. It's good to just try.
