Ok, finally got around to changing the introduction text. But as you can see, I'm too sianz to write a proper one, so am going to blabber on in hopes that you will get an idea of what sort of person I am by guessing. Yeah, the format of this blog is crap. I haven't got around to fixing it. Later lah.. Much later...
I dislike the insecurity I feel around overly sociable people.
Perhaps a selfish peculiarity of mine, but I don't like my close friends to have TOO MANY close friends. If everybody is their close friend, then where do you stand in the rank of 'close friends?' Doesn't it belittle the sanctity of the term?
You only have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Obviously certain people have to take priority over others. Certain benefits are finite. You may have infinite love, but you do not have infinite resources. And consider, if you get immense enjoyment out of the company of all, then my company is reduced to no exclusive value. I'm only one of the many. If I'm not there, what would it matter?
In the defilement of the term, the inherent flaw in taking everybody under your arm as a 'close friend', is that you end up having no real close friends. Am I putting a value on something that should not be calculated? Perhaps. But all the same, it makes me raise my eyebrow to see the lowering of the label to nothing more than some empty feel-good title.
