Sudden Unexplainable Angst Chance for Self-Exploration
Hey there, all...
Two-person conversation: A great, wonderful, fresh exchange of ideas, a chance to bond with another person.
Three-person conversation: A situation where someone is always left feeling left out and slightly aloof; a chance to compare all the things that one person does with another to all the things you *don't* do with said person. A good excuse for alienation.
Looks like there's a green-eyed monkey riding my back. :P
I don't know what it is with social mixing that completely drains any sense of confidence and self-worth I could possibly had. Even in *good* group conversations, I always feel like this left-out castaway. What kind of mental process causes that switch to flip, whether it's actually happening (sometimes it is) or not? What causes that kind of social anxiety?
It's getting to be a big problem these days.
