I have some of the same tendencies. <br /><br />I think, as we grow older, it is far more important to have a few close friends than many. Could be wrong though.ladaisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348955254558187266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824982487100086152.post-25526836390264202922011-12-12T20:35:33.972-07:002011-12-12T20:35:33.972-07:00i've never played the sims before, but i did l...i've never played the sims before, but i did like your post. and i liked imagining you stomping around because you were so hungry. :)deanna@delirious-rhapsodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11510367852834677697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824982487100086152.post-2420098376455349872011-12-12T19:59:55.781-07:002011-12-12T19:59:55.781-07:00I used to play Sims at my boyfriends house in HS t...I used to play Sims at my boyfriends house in HS to avoid his family. 10 yrs later they are my in laws and sadly, the Sims no longer do the trick. lolB E C K Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03369484767599088439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824982487100086152.post-78752226561695256632011-12-12T19:46:52.684-07:002011-12-12T19:46:52.684-07:00i can relate to this a lot - about the hunger tant...i can relate to this a lot - about the hunger tantrums, the peeing, and the friend-making. i think because it was NEVER smooth sailing when i was growing up, and i never developed the confidence that is so important to have when you get older, i tend to take things in friendship too personally, and because of the lack of confidence, i don't feel like i can just go out and make new friends. why can't life just be easy, dammit?!danielle and dinosaur toeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638415594400498236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824982487100086152.post-34379264553414768592011-12-12T19:08:22.556-07:002011-12-12T19:08:22.556-07:00I played the Sims so much growing up, I often find...I played the Sims so much growing up, I often find myself associating myself to the characters I made up there too! <br /><br />But seriously girl, don't be so hard on yourself. You're an awesome lady who wears her heart on her sleeve & it's one of the best parts that I know about you. It's not EASY to make new friends, and I say this as a self-proclaimed introvert myself. I've pushed away more people (so. many. guys.) than I care to think about, but it's just part of who I am. The people that are close in my life are there for a reason. <br /><br />I can't figure out if this comment is coherent at all, but I love this post and I think you've probably got a LOT more friends than you realize. Hell, just look at the number of people who read your blog, a lot of people think you're pretty darn awesome. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824982487100086152.post-68886649246428483862011-12-12T18:37:40.865-07:002011-12-12T18:37:40.865-07:00Ha ha ha ha ha this post made me so happy because ...Ha ha ha ha ha this post made me so happy because I was friendless and obsessed with The Sims in 7th grade... and I, too liken myself to Sims far too often. My bathroom bar goes from green to red right away in the mornings, and my social bar is always going haywire. I am always seeing those damn red negative signs too!<br />Oh Caitlin, you're my favorite.Sara Lucinda Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371224761784993570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824982487100086152.post-49399156877695342752011-12-12T16:13:13.821-07:002011-12-12T16:13:13.821-07:00great post. i have a hard time making new friends ...great post. i have a hard time making new friends with lasting relationships because they usually end up leaving me in one way or another. but the few i do have i would do anything for.Alyciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15555801450880316598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824982487100086152.post-2142879067298403642011-12-12T14:49:34.773-07:002011-12-12T14:49:34.773-07:00i've definitely felt this way too, especially ...i've definitely felt this way too, especially in high school when social groups were so clique-y and fake. i really like the sims comparison too ;)<br /><br />i consider you a friend, and hope you do too. i'm really glad our blog paths crossed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
