We gotta go deeper.

So that's what it would have been like to sit by myself without thought for several moments

[The Scout]

Then again, a lot of things weird me out. Including this:

*hugs* 

This site creeps me right out.

This. After only a few minutes, I felt incredibly distressed. It's invoked a 'better' response than most horror games.

[JoshuaFH]

When something is clearly dying, just let it die Josh, just let it die.

I...don't see anything dying at all. Maybe you're overthinking it and assuming too much? Maybe she fell ill?
The time lapse is about a week ago--probably something happened on her side regarding that?

It's possible, I guess. It could just be that I'm weak and overreacting. Perhaps my past has rendered me just a frightened little boy that's wholly unable to restrain his fidgeting.

I'm just so unsure of what the correct course of action may be, everything *feels* wrong, and so my gut instincts are left confused. Without the instinct, I'm left only to reason my way through this, but I know better than anyone that a rational mind lies both better and more frequently than my gut ever could. I'm at a loss.

[MaximumZero]

Maybe she just doesn't check Facebook all that often. I only check mine like, once a week, tops.

Dude, please don't take this the wrong way (I aim to be constructive) but you are the master of paralysis by analysis. You're over thinking this whole shebang.

Chill. Take a breath. She'll get back to you when she gets back to you.

[JoshuaFH]

Maybe I should get a certificate for that mastership, it could go good on my resume.

But fine, I'll be patient.

Ah yes. I remember that one :<

Am I the only person who thinks it's pretty funny and not at all sad?

I also.
I think it's cute. I also tend to tangentialize when I get trapped in my own imagination.

Being said if you're in a completely empty train and someone sits next to you, you always talk, even if it's "Uh... can I help you?"

[hops]

I think it's just social stigma about talking to strangers working against you, because really, there isn't any downsides since if that person didn't like you then you won't be talking again.

Now I only wish I stop getting seated next to german/indian/non-english-speaking people when I'm on my flight, so that I wouldn't be such a hypocrite.

[Xantalos]

I just watched a guy doubt the existence of starving African children.
My head hurts from the amount of fallacy I've been exposed to.

[Gentlefish]

Just got out of a fight with my girlfriend where she was absolutely right. I'm so shitty at long distance relationships she doesn't feel like she's in a relationship at all.

She's gone to bed and I'm so thankful for some pokemon chiptunes on my tumblr, they've really helped me calm down. But I still feel like shitty boyfriend.

Please tell me he didn't talk about fat african children.

Err, not really. A rational mind does not resort to lies in most cases--I deploy that kind of thinking yet I practice honesty in all aspects ._.
*PM'd*

That resilience link Tiruin posted made me sad. Especially this part.

The primary factor in resilience is having positive relationships inside or outside one’s family. It is the single most critical means of handling both ordinary and extraordinary levels of stress. These positive relationships include traits such as mutual, reciprocal support and caring. Such relationships aid in bolstering a person’s resilience.

Apparently I don't have much resilience, is what it's saying.

The problem with shooting out links like those is lacking explanation >_< oops.
Anyway, rather than sad--as in the idea of 'this'll never happen to me', seek out those who could exchange the same idea with you there, perhaps? Relationships = any kind of mutual interaction with others. :O

Relax on the pre-judgement
When one is not aware of ideas, there comes in doubt. Expose him to the realism of those ideas...instead of being affected by it.
^{Although if you meant fallacy, he's actively disclaiming the existence of starving children...that's another story altogether :S.}

No, but he did demand that the other side in the debate produce a starving orphan in order to provide 'proof' that people in impoverished countries are starving.
It was that kind of video.

Alright that's a whole new story.

Solution - 'Hi, mind if I sit next to you? I'm X.'.
