THIS JUST IN!!! Another precious peony needing a lil love:
Anon: "how do i talk to people? to be honest, i try but am i just that awkward? i don't have any real friends and most people don't even give a simple greeting back.. maggie, is there anyway i could be able to get to actually have nice conversations with people?"
God, if I had a nickel for every person I know who's had this problem... I'd have a very happy piggy bank.
But f'real, this is pretty damn valid, and I want anyone else with this issue to take my advice...
First off, lemme spill a lil about people. People are weird, sweets. In a way, they're hypocrites. I could bet you all the nickels I hypothetically have that those very groups of tight-knit cliques came into this world in the same state as you. A little wary, a little overwhelmed, seeking only a friend in the crowded darkness. The only difference is that they found those friends. Now, does that make you inadequate as a person because you weren't able to? Hell no. Second thing about people, everyone's different. Some personalities are easier to gravitate to and other's aren't. But that doesn't mean you should change yourself.
Another funny thing about people is that they're all blind. Remember how I said, sweets, that you're not the only one who has this problem? I mean it. You aren't. What you're seeing are the talkative bunch that seems like they got it easy. You're looking ahead in desire instead of looking side to side where others who are just like you are standing beside you and doing the same thing. I think of it this way, if you can't force your way into a group--- make your own! the others who won't give you the time of day. That's THEIR loss, not yours. Instead, pay more attention to the quiet ones, the side shows. Make friends with them. Be the one to make sure they don't feel the loneliness and uncertainty you're feeling.
It's sort of like the dark circus stories I used to read as a kid... A place for only misfits where misfits except each other, while society doesn't. They're free to be themselves because they only need each other's approval. Make your own little circus, honey. Be the damn ringleader and I promise, you'll go so far.
You've already got me as an audience to root you on.
