So I've narrowed down one of my many many many issues. I have an intense fear of intimacy. All the people that I develop close relationships somehow end up leaving me. My mom's gone, Nonni's gone, I rarely see my best friend anymore, all my past lovers no longer speak to me, I tend to lose closeness with my friends rather easily. This has been going on for many a year and now I find myself afraid of warm fuzzy feelings.
I suppose I've gotten a bit better of late, I've actually been trying to work those feelings out but it leaves me scared. Just before I started typing this I was downstairs working on laundry and torchwood, lying on the sofa. the last time I was there I was with someone that I can see myself becoming attached to; but instead of thinking about that fondly I just started feeling sort of sad, lonely and colder than usual. It's like I'm preparing myself for the break down before it ever began. Which makes me think that maybe I was right in swearing off manhandling. But that can't be right either, a person can't live like I was. I never went out, I rarely ever even made physical contact with other people unless it was an accident... And when I'm with this other person I feel at peace, I don't feel neurotic or scared, I'm just at ease, so it's not like I don't want to be hanging out with him.
Yet still I feel the fear when I get to thinking about it. I mean; what this time is just like the others, what if I start to get seriously attached and he starts to pull away; I"m afraid of that happening, I'm afraid of letting myself become attached to him. Part of me just wants to go back to the way things were, but it's such an abhorent way to live.
So now I'm just sad, sad from too much thinking. I wish that just once I would get a clear signal about what to do. I feel so totally lost all the time, I don't know what the devil to do about work, I don't know what the devil to do about school, I don't know what the devil to do with mr. D. I don't have anyone to give me really sound advice I just have these gut instincts that usually turn out to be for the worst anyway, so I can't trust them either.....
Sorry getting a bit ahead of myself. Ok, Issue the first, Work. For some reason my performance still sucks. I've been trying so hard for so long to pull myself out of the slump, I'll think I'm doing great then I turn around and get these massive error percentages; I just don't get it anymore. I've made almost no typos this entire time and I'm typing way faster than I do at work, so how come at work I'm always wrong? I just don't understand it. I'm scared to death of loosing my job because there is nothing around here, I checked monster earlier and go 95 jobs at entry level. 95. and at least a thrid of them were medical jobs which I"m no where near qualified for. So bugger me if I know what to do about that. I"m just hoping that something happens, something clicks and I figure out what the devil the problem is because I just can't be jobless, I can't....
Then there's school. I've been wanting to go back ever since I graduated but life and finances always seem to intervene. In all honesty I don't think I'll ever be able to go back and that the thought that hurts most of all. I can live without friends, I can live without love, because I've always had that dream. Settling in on the reality that my life as I know it truly is my life is the worst feeling ever. It almost makes me want to wretch. Almost. I'm made of slightly stronger stuff than that you see...
Friends, well fuck them for now, I have bigger fish to fry. I just wish anyone considered me worth a damn. I know I have emotional baggage and I'm usually broke so I can't go out but I guess I just thought maybe my company was worth it. I guess I was wrong....
And I think I've blogged enough about my love life for now... too tired to think about it... and slighly concerned that my foot is still bleeding from the glass I stepped on....
