Sometimes (6)

Sometimes, I sit by and watch people. Their actions and movements, I listen to their words too, but sometimes, I try to see what the motivations behind their actions and words are. Sometimes I try to separate the lies from the truth.
And sometimes, I just look and let them be.
I see school mates kiss, exchange words of love, and hug each other good bye "until next time" they might say or think, maybe it's just me.
But an incapability to show enough emotion on my face, or to allow someone to know that I'm not just a silent smile that wanders around, I can't bring up the nerve to look for someone to be with when I'm bored. This, this is a first world problem.

It's an extremely common one at that, but you approached it very rationally, and I can respect that. I'm an observational kind of person, so this situation you described is something I've lived with more intimately than most people. It has an interesting effect. While being lonely, you can almost begin to understand that you observe, instead of interacting, because people become very easy to predict. In this predictability you begin to see beyond the epidermis of human interaction, you can also begin inserting yourself mentally into situations with people, and almost predict how the entire interaction would go to a tee.

Observing people can make you very good at interacting with them, in the sense that you have a greater control on what you must do to manipulate their thoughts and actions to achieve the response you want, but it lowers the actual desire to do so. Just remember that for all the hidden truths and obvious lies you observe, there's always more underneath. People still have qualities at their very core that don't come out without some confidence and encouragement, often a great deal in fact, and that is what observationalists seek to procure.

Sometimes a silent smile isn't enough to get the wheels turning. You have to have some cunning to get your foot in the door.

I believe I understand what you are saying.
Thank you for your wise input, maybe this new knowledge will bring a step close, if not leaps, to interacting with a person without just the thought of knowing them in mind. Or something to that sense. Maybe I am just socially awkward.

You sound just like me. I have never liked talking to people, not so much in person anyway. People usually get angry at me for not looking into their eyes when I speak to them, but I really can not do it. It is just far too intimate, it is like they are looking directly at me when I am naked. I do not think it really matters if you are awkward socially, as it is simply who you are. I would hate to be a person who depends on human interaction to keep me sane.

It's called social anxiety, ad it's more common than you'd think. there are solution. you can try braking your shell by your self or ask for some actual professional help. There is no reason to fear people... everyone basically fell the same.
