Unhealthy Tendencies

So there are people out there… I see them, climbing stairs, waiting for taxis, talking to each other in cafes. So why do I spend so much of my time on email, or skype, or writing this blog? Sorry excuse for human contact, if you ask me. Why am I so attracted to my computer?

Well, for one thing, all my dearest friends are so far away. Admittedly, if the were in the room with me I’d probably still be idly checking my email. Partly it is because I much prefer written words to conversation, and partly it is an anxious habit. It is a counterproductive approach to feeling lonely… a virtual automobile, cruzing along in my private bubble nodding my head to my own music and my own thoughts. So isolating.
