Miscommunication on livejournal? Never!

[raybear]

Apparently yesterday afternoon's post really bothers some people. Strange because when I read these types of things on other people's journal, I pretty much assume they're not talking about me. So I wrote a whole entry in the style where I was talking about me. Me me me me me me. That's who this journal is about, after all.

But apparently I failed in the experiment because it's being seen as either passive-aggressive or gossipy or mean, so rather than try and fix it, I guess I'll just scrap it and make it private because it seems boring and frustrating to me now.

I hope you know that if I have beef with you, I'll settle it honestly.

right, right. like i said, i didn't do a clear job, because i wasn't trying to make anyone guinea pigs or drive them crazy with guessing, like i was holding some prize above their head and making them jump up and down. when people have done these lists in the past, i've always been fascinated with them in part because it's such this strange act of cowardice. which is also how i feel when i get extremely critical of people in my life -- i realize i'm really just feeling critical of myself but too cowardly to face it. but i didn't even see my words as being negative, because most of the items were about understanding and accepting even in the midst of problematic behavior.

i guess i should wait and tackle complicated social self-commentary when i'm not feeling overwhelmed and tired in my everyday life.
