I'd been passively aware of this personal trait for a long time but I suppose I never gave it much thought until D-girl brought it up.
At the end of the school year most people, including most of my friends, went home for a few days before returning to move their things back home. My time at uni had come to an end altogether so I spent the time packing up from the leased house I'd been living in, prepping to return home for the last time.
After a few days D-girl came back and she half-jokingly asked if I'd missed her. I suppose my reply wasn't duly sincere haha. My smile doesn't help with looking trustworthy either.
(^ヮ^;;)7 It's a testament to how well she understands me that this didn't faze her in the least.
She is right in noting that I don't miss people, that it's "just part of my personality". Honestly, I can't say that I'm apologetic about it. However, what I fear most is that it will hurt their feelings. There might be a sense that I don't appreciate them or care about them, that they were just the latest in a line of 'friends' that I will meet and discard in my life. This is most certainly not the case.
I don't forget them but I guess the most candid way to describe it would be that they simply don't come to mind everyday. Not quite an 'out of sight, out of mind' sort of action but not far removed either.
I would attribute this to my "Live every day everyday" philosophy. Think about that line if you have to. It'll make sense eventually.
i'd like to propose the daring hypothesis that no one actually misses anyone else. it's just a metaphor for something else.
ReplyDeletehaha! Omg! you too? haha..
ReplyDeleteI remember one incident with my friend and she was telling me how much she miss me and all and I just can't say the same thing. I mean, I can chat with her anytime and I dunno, I don't miss her at all but she noticed that I was hesitant to answer, she was kind of pissed so I have to say, "yeah, I missed you too"
I used to feel this way. I still kinda do with a lot of people. Then death came along one way and messed with how I felt towards being away from people.
ReplyDeleteseems that you're not the only who thinks like that xD
ReplyDeleteI find myself to be the opposite, I miss people quite easily. Sometimes though I kind of wish I didn't.
ReplyDeleteFor me, if I have a strong connection with someone, I would definitely miss him/her.
ReplyDeleteI am with Shutterbug on this. I don't usually miss people, I like being alone for most parts but if I have strong tides with someone, I would definitely miss. :)
DeleteI think thats normal, your friends are probably over emotional kids.
ReplyDeleteI don't even have emotions. D:
ReplyDeleteHahaha, you guys are great.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm much the same way. I don't really miss people when I don't see them for awhile, not that I don't care about them, it's just I don't feel empty when they aren't around.
