I feel like you just described me to a tee. A large house gathering of people, hard pass. Manhattan during rush hour, I come alive. The point you made about legitimately enjoying being alone rings so true. I work a small portion of my week in a public facing setting and I’m very gregarious and I can talk with ease with just about anyone. I think this really throws people when they learn how comfortable I am spending time alone. It’s a difficult bridge of understanding for others not like ourselves.
I spent 17 years with this same person. He was a lovely, large-hearted person in so many ways. He was a fantastic cook and would prepare me wonderful meals, clean the house, be very kind and gentle to strangers and animals, extremely intelligent and uproariously funny with the quickest wit I ever have met. He could be an amazing human being.
I can tell you this, the depression, the self medicating with weed, the procrastination, the always behind and constant struggle of money, it never improves. The anger gets more pronounced, the depression deeper, the procrastination more intense.
He may be a lovely person in many ways, but he is also deeply flawed and stubborn. The self medication, procrastination, and general malaise is an excuse to not do the work and make the hard changes for a successful life. There is something that is satisfying to this individual to stay in this state of suspended development, on the fringe of life.
-I have a 1978 Stanley Mouse designed tee from The Grateful Dead at the Pyramids in Giza. It was new to me 3 years ago. I wear it a couple of times a year and still have not washed it.
-I have and wear my Tour tee shirts from Lollapalooza ‘94 and ‘95. -I have a floral button down I bought at The Gap in 1991 that I still wear.
I have an invite gmail as well. It’s first.last@. The crazy thing is I’ll often get emails for an individual with the same name as mine and their address is firstlast@ It’s like the delivery system is at times adding or deleting the dot. I do know that this other individual goes to a very expensive spa, has had a several thousand dollar mattress delivered and recently made a purchase from an armory.
I have a customer that come into my shop, a long time Detroit DJ, a couple of years older than me. We chat and joke around. A few weeks ago he said to me, a white woman, “You know why I like you? You’re a BBW. Before Bottled Water. You get it, the way so many things are just absurd now, like people having emotional support water bottles”
I think we have a case of r/tvtoolow in an odd change of pace
