I haven't been posting lately. There are a lot of reasons and most of them are purely inside my head. The big one was an... incident a few months ago. I was commenting on someone's post and trying to point out something and they took it the wrong way. That happens, but I was asked to go away. And then they ranted about it on Twitter. Being that this was someone I respected (and I thought they at least appreciated me), it hurt more than I thought. And, ever since, they stopped commenting to anything I respond. Sadly, I noticed that they don't comment to anyone after me, so I feel like I'm a roadblock for the enjoyment of everyone else. Realizing that, I stopped commenting (though I still read) and just not get in the way of other people enjoying said people.

This isn't the first time this has happened, but I've managed to alienate someone pretty much during every major part of my life. With one person, I can say they are being sensitive. For two, I have to question myself. Somewhere around four or five, I have to realize that is me and not everyone else. I just open my mouth and stupid things must come out, though I usually don't know they are stupid when I saw them.

I'm not depressed or upset about it. Just sad. Maybe I'll figure out how not to annoy people and to shut up more often. Not an easy skill, for those who know me, since I am on the verbose side of friendly. I guess if I have a new year's goal, that would be it: be quiet.
