An explanation, per favore...

[thedarksiren2]

how can a person who KNOWS the amazing impact her presence in other people's lives has made manage to feel so incredibly insignificant and invisible?

the silliness of this situation is only surpassed by the loneliness it has engendered in her, and I am still trying to figure out how to "fix" the problem.

maybe I'm just using the wrong tools...



What tools would YOU suggest in such a crisis, my friends? How would you help this girl see her validity, her worth?

Maybe it's not even a question of those so much as a question of awareness, of existence.


hmmm...


I think I'll mull this over with a sharp*n*shiny goddess and a chest-press. She'll know how to handle this situation. She is all-knowing like that. Or, at least blunt and to the point.

opinions and snide remarks are welcome.~8)

WELCOME TO MONDAY!!!!

Kind words - perhaps telling her what you appriacte the most about her.

Most times though - it seems to me that there is little anyone else can do in this department. I know that even when people were telling me how awesome I was, it wasn't until I *truely* believed it that their complements weren't much else than complements that people were kind enough to give me.

When did I get an ego that wasn't just made for stomping on? I'm not sure. I'm not sure really how it happened or even if there was some moment when I just said *this is rediculous - I will not feel worthless anymore.* It just happened, slowly and gradually. And is still happening.

Support - love - in couragement are the only things I know to tell you to do. Basicly - be the good friend to her that you are. Though it may not seem like you're doing much - or that her changing isn't happening, it is - or will. It's just *really* slow.

You never brought it up, but let me say now....I think the only proper solution is to kidnap said girl, make her eat pie and ice cream, and watch Crossroads together while hideously drunk. If this doesn't restore her sense of irony, nothing will.

"She" was me, and working out made everything better, for a little while anyway.

Irony aside, your suggestions would seriously fuck up my diet.*smirks*

Maybe, if we convinced our bodies that we were starving by only consuming alcohol and NO other calories, then we would start to eat ourselves?

Not to get too graphic, but ...

I think if I could eat myself I'd never leave home again.

Wanna get real graphic?

You'd look like Chloe licking her ass. :P
