Hope Rises

Act II, Well, will ya look at that. My picture has changed. Sure enough, I left the sight and when I came back on the picture had changed. How does that happen. I was so wishing that the darn thing would change somehow. How can someone be so stupid as to put up a picture and then can't change it. Hope rises!!!
Its just like when I leave a room, things change. I'm the kind of person that everyone comments... " oh she's a nice enough lady" "we'll invite her to join our club" We'll invite her to join us for lunch" but I get there, and everyone is sitting and chatting to each other like they live together or something. I feel like I know nothing about whats going on, I missed the boat somehow. I should know, why don't I know what they're talking about.
I'm one of those people who get thought about, thank you, but never get in on the inside.

I'm an outside friend.

That's what it is!!! The Outside Friend.

Does anyone know what the definition might be. What the use of an Outside Friend might be.
A whole filler?
A background noise?
We need 6 people and only have 5?

Its interesting. Maybe not such an attractive title. I will have to think more about that one.

Thx. I will keep that in mind. Balance, always a problem. But I do struggle to keep the balance. I'm a Libra for heavens sake.

Its funny that we do that. The very thing that we need the most we deny somebody else. Hmmm.

That actually pretty good advise. Thank you.

I'm basically shy, which some people interpret as conceit; but I have to warm to people before I can jump into the middle of conversations.

I know what you mean. I often think people are offended by me because they think I a snobby or something. I actually selfconscious and will hold back. I do have a bravado shell I use that makes me look more secure than I am. I guess its my safety net. I need to get rid of that and just be me.

A friend of mine is one of those of whom people say 'she never met a stranger.' I am envious because I hold back and observe new people until I figure them out a little bit. I decided the secret is that she isn't afraid to ask impertinent questions and find common ground.

People who want to be my friend I don't like and people I like don't want to be my friend.

As long as you know what YOU'RE talking about, that's the main thing.
Sounds like you're having a problem with "balance." You are not & have never been an "Outside Friend." Please never change - be your sweet self. Give yourself some time out there m'girl. I went through the same thing when I moved to this town 26 years ago. Relax, breathe & keep smiling (that'll keep 'em guessing)
