I’m not a fan of how my social life can be obliterated by one single “no”. It’s no secret that I don’t have friends. At least not the kind I can call to ask to hang out. Maybe once in a blue moon, when I can swallow my pride and ask for connection in the only way I know how (usually buying them food or a movie because I have the suspicion they won’t come if all there is to enjoy is “just me”) and nine times out of ten… the answer is just “no”.
Am I crazy? How can you be so secure in your social sphere that you can just refuse attention like that? If someone tells me they don’t want to be around me right then… then there goes my day. I usually don’t have a backup or another person to call. Human interaction for me is all or nothing…
And I’d drop everything for someone who wanted me around. I’ve done it before. People ask for me, and I’m there. And the moment I ask for them…
The answer is just “no”.
And it’s not like I ask for much.
