Writing about writing and not talking to anyone anymore. Well... my job means I need to talk to people. But I can limit how much I talk at work.

I'm going to move out soon to live by myself. I wont talk to my neighbors. I'll find a place close to work so I can walk. This will limit the amount of people I come in contact with. Eventually I'll get a car and drive [which will really limit social contact].

I'm great at everything I do. I always find a way to succeed. People are different. If you try hard you fail. If you don't try you fail. There some gray middle ground that's hard to achieve.

If I'm learning a new song on the piano I wont get upset if I fuck up. If I'm learning a new fold in origami and I screw up I just try again. It's no big deal when I die in a video game, I just try it again. If I mess up a trick on my skateboard I just try it again and I wont be upset. All those things I try failure isn't an issue cause I learn what went wrong and correct the error and try again. And the errors don't effect me emotionally. I see improvement and notice things getting better. I eventually succeed from hard work and persistence. The more persistent I am the better I do. Effort is the key.

People aren't the same. When a girl doesn't like me I can't try again. She still remembers the mistakes I made. A skateboard doesn't remember I didn't land the inward heel flip. When I try again with her she's still upset with me. If I wait it out, she'll move on and find a boyfriend [that's not me]. In piano I can focus on the area of a song that I do poorly on till I get it right. Girls are all different. I can't focus on what I did and fucked up. There's a horribly harsh learning curve.

Because of how I learn I can't get it down. It's the equivalent of learning a new song every once in a while when I happen to, by chance, stumble across one, with no choice over which songs to learn [so I can't selectively look at a few and pic one out. Can't even hear what they sound like before playing them]. Then if you fuck up the song, it's done and over with. You can't play that song anymore. If this was the case with piano I would be horrible with that too.

Cause I focus on my mistakes and correct them. This is how I get better at things. This skill allows me to be great at everything I'm able to focus on in an isolated situation.

Girls... I can't focus on my flaws in isolation. Nor can I with people in general. When I fuck it up, it's over. Each time it eats at me just a little. I don't want it to bother me. I try not to. But it does, little by little. After I've had enough I feel like shit and want to die.

So, since I can't isolate the area's of concern [and since I'm unaware of what I'm doing wrong in the first place] I give up. This is the one thing I've tried and haven't shown any improvement with. I actually get worse over time since it eats away and makes me so depressed.

For my own safety and mental health I don't care to talk to anyone anymore. So I'll limit all social interaction and anything that'd make me think of it. I'm going into isolation.
