Let me in your head!

[rumtastique]

This is going around the f-list, and like some others, I need reading material.

This will be one of my few public posts, and I encourage everyone to dump in their two (or four or six) cents. I want you to post anything that you want.

Anything.

A story, a secret, a confession, a fear, a love - anything. Be sure to post anonymously and honestly. Post twice if you'd like.

Then, if you want: put this in your LJ to see what your friends (and perhaps others who you don't even realize read your LJ) have to say.

I'm afraid my friends only keep me around because I do things for them. And I'll do just about anything my friends ask me because I'm afraid that if I don't, they won't be my friends anymore.

Dude - whoever wrote this took it right out of my head! Lord, that's a little scary!

apparently it's a common sentiment. weird.

if it's any comfort (i.e. if you're one of my friends and not a random stranger) be aware that I don't make friends with an eye to "what I can get out of them." Chances are, if you know me and I hang out with you, it's probably cause I think you're nifty.

That's sad, and a very difficult thing to feel. I'm sorry that you value yourself so little, and I understand it because sometimes I do the same thing.

If you're a friend of mine, you can rest assured that i'm not your friend because of what you can do for me. Because I believe it's wrong to treat someone that way.

I've had that fear. I really don't think it's true, but it stinks to feel that way.
The trick is to remember that you like them. If you like them, they must be cool people. Cool people don't do that to people. Therefore, they must not be doing that to you.
Seriously.
