Oh my fucking God, I spent TWO HOURS on Tumblr instead of writing my final paper for Civ. What the fuck is wrong with me?!
In my defense, though, http://floccinaucinihilipilificationa... is seriously awesome. I love this artist’s comics. Dragon Bros, Potato John and Sherlock, Harry Potter, Fucking Nancy…
But most of all, I love Socially Awkward Bee/ Lame Selfie Bee.
It’s because I identify with the bee way too much.
The neurotic thoughts, the crippling insecurity…so me.
I REMEMBER EMBARRASSING SHIT FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND LITERALLY CRINGE AT HOW FUCKING STUPID/AWKWARD/NERDY I WAS.
God, I have zero social grace. Sometimes, I avoid people I know just to avoid interacting with them. DO I SAY HI? BUT THAT WOULD BE AWKWARD. DO I PRETEND I DON’T SEE THEM? BUT THAT’S JUST FUCKING RUDE. DO I GO THE OTHER DIRECTION? BUT THAT’S JUST COWARDLY.
Sometimes, I even do this with friends. FRIENDS.
But with friends, I am especially neurotic.
A typical message exchange for me –
Me – Could we hang out?
A minute passes. I see they’re online. What the fuck? They’re online and ignoring me. OH MY GOD, THEY HATE ME. NO ONE LIKES ME. I HAVE NO FRIENDS. I WILL DIE ALONE. I’M A LOSER. OH MY GOD, I WANT TO DIE –
Friend – I would love to!
Thank God. I do have friends. I’M NOT A FRIENDLESS LOSER.
Me – When do you want to hang out?
A minute passes. Oh my God, they’re online and they’re ignoring me. What the fuck? Never mind, I don’t have friends. I’M A LOSER AND I WANT TO DIE AND NO ONE LIKES ME AND –
Yeah, you don’t want to be in my head.
