Hermitness.

[drcuriosity]

I'm feeling just a bit like a social pariah at the moment. This isn't a pity post, though.

Some people whom I have in the past considered friends seem to have pretty much stopped talking to me, for some reason. There are a few people around the place who say that we really ought to catch up sometime, but won't let themselves be nailed down to actually doing so.

So. If I've inadvertently done some crap that makes you not want to associate with me, let me know. I can't fix things I don't know are broken, and if things are irrevocably broken I'd rather not keep exercising my futility. If you'd really rather not socialise with me, and are only saying things like that to be "nice", let me know. Bite the bullet, and kick that puppy. It'll be less painful for everyone in the long run. It's only the constantly reopening wounds that I can't heal.

Don't think I won't miss you, though. I may do already.

I've seen that tone of voice before. Apologies if my honesty was ill-timed - I deliberately waited until I wasn't feeling hurt and angry to post a reply, whether it seems that way or not. I know you have other important things weighing heavy on your mind right now.

Of course you can trust me? Unless you tell me you've done an about face, how am I to know that? I'm not used to people I care about cutting themselves off from me without warning, so I don't really know what the etiquette for such situations is. It would be foolish for me to make assumptions based on what I don't know. I hope you can understand my confusion about this whole situation.

Still. Going back to the main post - if you'd rather I didn't try, let me know. Otherwise, I'll do the best I can.
