I think its important to be self-conscious and aware of my own actions and emotions. The only way I can progress is to understand what i'm feeling and why i'm feeling it.
I want to be an artist, so i'm constantly observing myself, and the world around me, in order to capture what I believe to be the essence of life. Perhaps you may see emotions as something simple. But I see them as guidelines for being. I have emotional problems. What human doesn't have them?
You think that I burden her? Please. I'm no lovestruck puppy, as you seem to want me to believe. I just go with what I feel is right and follow that path.
Obviously you haven't read my posts very well. I have not mentioned the term "girlfriend" even once. You seem to see what i'm going though as a problem that needs to be solved. And perhaps if it was a math problem, a social studies exam where the right answer is automatic positive self-gratification, or a structural problem, then your process would be correct. You must understand, that there is much more to life than simple answers.
Anon, from what I can see from this post, you haven't gone though anything that could warrant sympathy. I figured that you may be older from your bluntness, that there could be something hidden underneath your rationale. Your wording seems very pushy, though you do seem to be much more open then you were. Perhaps as the old saying goes "You get more bees with honey", meaning that wording makes the difference between a wise man and an arrogant fool.
