I...Aw, I'm sorry it's harder since losing you mom. I don't find it harder since losing my dad, not that I know of. I've just always felt really inadequate about conversing. I am more of a deep thinker now than I've ever been, so I think it helps a bit now, but I used to just KNOW I'd sound stupid. So I found it all so hard. Now, I just find that I need time to think and if the other person isn't a great converser, then it will be too difficult and embarrassing. I can't usually carry the weight of conversation on my own. I feel like I must sound like an idiot if I do the majority of talking. So anyway...I should stop talking now, lol. <BR/><BR/>You're not alone.Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14705309459113809600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293764442188755624.post-69588547136375034012008-10-17T12:06:00.000+01:002008-10-17T12:06:00.000+01:00Hill - I'm glad it's not just me!

Somtimes just making conversation is hard work...not always but it's been worse since losing Mum.<BR/><BR/>Dee - thanks for the words :) Don't worry I'll keep on saying yes, even it is hard going sometimes.<BR/><BR/>Debs - I can totally understand you watching all 8 hours!!

Ha...Poor SLA, I do hope his teeth are sorted asap. Having an abcess is so painful, I can't imagine how he must feel having one after the other.<BR/><BR/>I remember years ago, going on holiday with my ex-husband and asking a friend to tape 8 hours of neighbours. Her husband said that surely I would never watch all of it, but she knew I would, and I loved ever second of it. <BR/><BR/>Strangely enough I don't really watch any soaps at all now.Deborah Carr (Debs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03223653554549707595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293764442188755624.post-33964904417810638092008-10-17T06:03:00.000+01:002008-10-17T06:03:00.000+01:00Make sure you fight that feeling to 'cry off" for ...Make sure you fight that feeling to 'cry off" for no real reason, or it will become a habit and you WILL be a hermit. I have that tendancy too, and suffered becuase of it, saying yes now, give me butterflies physically but I know I have to do it!

I get ra...Aw, I'm glad you stuck with it and went. I get rather hermit-ish. Sometimes over money and sometimes over...just...being a hermit, ha.<BR/><BR/>No seriously, I get that same feeling sometimes. I'll accept an invitation and the closer it gets the more I wish for an escape. I KNOW that if I go, I'll enjoy myself, but sometimes it's just hard during the anticipation phase, I guess.<BR/><BR/>I have always struggled with the thought that I'm not good at conversing...a self-esteem issue. So that's one reason I tend to hide out. But, I don't know. I get hermit-ish and just want to be alone. Then I have to start making myself get out. And I'm usually glad I did, but getting there isn't all that easy.Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14705309459113809600noreply@blogger.com
