Never Alone and Yet So Lonely
Gatsby was right. And yet, even in a crowd of complete strangers, I can't be myself. Not at PAX, not in Vegas, not even that one time you went to karaoke by yourself.
I've always been afraid to get blackout drunk. I've been knowingly unfit to drive like twice, and I got rides home from those.
I was hoping to go to a friend's house to unwind a little bit, let out some stress and maybe fess up, but then I found out there were others gonna be there and so I had to put on that social armor once more. It wore off after three hours and I just had to go.
I've just always been afraid, I guess.

I got here in coincidence, like really, super random blog-surfing, (I'm not even from your side of the globe!), and I gotta say, I feel you so much. like, there's something exhausting in this "social armor" you have to wear around most people.
have a great day
