griffinchicken53 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 So a few months ago I decided to make some lifestyle changes that would better myself For example (not watch tv 12 hours a day, not eat a bag of chips while watching said number of hours of tv) So I’ve been talking about more optimistic things, some I have made topics on twitter and facebook. At the same time, so has a girl I’ve known in the past. Just being more optimistic she has seemed more receptive to talk to me. Even said I could text message her. Most of the conversations have been initiated by me but that is true with just about everyone I talk to. Right now I’m not that interesting. People aren’t going to call me up cuz all they could ask is, whatcha been watching on TV? Also while I have 150 facebook friends, a lot of them have more than 500, so if everyone is chatting and emailing, it would be hard to get back with everyone. I’ve asked people to hang out, but it doesn’t usually happen. I’ve asked a few to lunch, but it is usually a “let me check my schedule and I’ll get back to you sort of thing”. I understand this but after asking 20 or so people (mostly female, another obstacle I’m trying to overcome is shyness) and no one commits to a time I start slipping back to being pessimistic. What I’m getting at is simply this, half my motivation for life improvements was hoping the one girl would take notice. I found out she is moving, and there goes half my motivation. I’m kicking myself that maybe if I had improved my life sooner something could have happened. If this is something that she is doing that will bring her a great deal of happiness, I wouldn’t change anything merely for myself. I know it’s not a good way to think, but it goes through my mind if she ever moves back, we are both single and I’m really interesting, there could be potential. I tell people all the time to move on, there are other people out there, and I should listen to my own advice. I’m trying the no contact thing, just to see if maybe she checks to see how I’m doing on progress, or if she forgets about me maybe it’d be easier to forget. don't know if i had a question in there, but i do have one: How do I make myself more interesting to people, where i enter their mind from time to time?
