"Don't tell anyone, but..."

So, over on LJ there's a blog (or whatever) where they give you a prompt and want you to reply in the comments. I'd have to set up a new persona there and I really don't want yet another persona....so I'll bring the prompts here if they picque something in me.

Don't Tell Anyone, But....
I'm not nearly as confident as people think I am. I put forward an image of me that I wish I could fulfill. I really feel inadequate a lot. A LOT. People think I'm outgoing. The fact is I'm quite shy. I don't act like a goof unless I know the people I'm around really well. When I describe myself as shy people laugh.

Don't Tell Anyone, But....
I desperately want to be in a relationship. Freakishly desperately. I ache to be "in love with" and loved by a man. Seriously. ACHE. I feel extreme hopelessness when I think about this particular topic. Hopeless enough to invoke St. Jude, St. Rita, and St. Anne. Seriously, when I'm out with the dog I pray fervently for their intercession.

Don't Tell Anyone, But....
I feel extreme jealousy in regard to my friends in relationships.

Don't Tell Anyone, But....
My best friend has changed so much (or maybe I have) that I don't think I would choose her as a friend now.
