My personal failings are many. I am an alcoholic and struggle with excessive drinking out of boredom. I’d been sober for almost four years until a hellacious relapse recently. I have since stopped.
I am also very egotistical to a fault. Really, the ego thing is just a thin veneer that covers my deep insecurities. As a result, I am overly-sensitive about many things and I tend to feel victimized by the smallest things.
I am not very understanding of other people’s wants and needs and I am selfish to the point where I am not that interested in anything that my friends have to say. I am not a good listener in this respect and I tend to dominate conversations anyways, so this can be a real problem.
A major shortcoming of mine is my intellect. Not a lack of it, just my very acute, inflated sense of how smart I am. I don’t enjoy having conversations about things I don’t know a whole lot about because one of my greatest fears is the accompanying blow to my ego involved with coming across as ignorant. As a result, I detest when people say something that is inaccurate or plain wrong when having a conversation with me. To me, unwittingly presenting an utter, obvious falsehood as fact is a blatant sign of ignorance and I don’t suffer fools lightly. I need to work on this a lot because there are a lot of times where I turn a teachable moment into a lengthy lecture rather than an actual conversation in which we both speak.
I am also a bit of a control freak. I don’t go with the flow very well at all and if I must do something I don’t want to do, I do so begrudgingly at best. I hate when people need help with something from me because I having to give up my time for someone else, even if I have absolutely nothing planned for the day.

It’s not long-winded if you end up somewhere, and arrive there in elegant fashion.

Now you’re just being cruel for cruelty’s sake. But I like it.

Dressing up like a dandy and stepping out of the carriage like a fag doesn’t necessarily make the 4-hour trip any less boring.

I become extremely anxious when communicating on a professional level like initiating contact for a job inquiry/interview.
So what am I doing about it? Twisting in the wind right now thinking “Fuck! I have to call this woman tomorrow and she is going to hear how nervous I am over the phone. Then when I get there she will be suspicious of me right off the bat! Shit! I’m going to fuck this up and they will think I’m an idiot.”.
Then once I cycle up like that I usually just spin right out of my gourd for a while, then return to my usual overly caffeinated and neurotic self.

Sky here is how you do it, you approach it like you are trying to get into her pants. Use your charm and wit that you obviously have (your posts on here) like you would in a bar or where ever you hit on women. Just my .02

I will use that. She wasn’t in when I called, but I left a voice mail and will try again a little while after lunch.
