I know this guy who has a blog. And on this blog he talks about all the things in in life, including his friends, family and lovers. But despite the time and effort I have spent getting to know him he has never mentioned me. It’s like I didn’t pass the test (which he actually referred to when I met him). It’s not a good feeling. I know I should have the confidence to see it as a glitch in his own personality but I don’t. I see it as a personal failure. I see it as not being good enough. I must be inadequate emotionally, physically, pschologically, or intellectually. Perhaps a combination of all four. According to him I have a tendency to feel sorry for myself. Perhaps so, but I think there are worse things one could have as a personality trait. Like being an arrogant ass. Anyways, I digress.
What to do?
Cut all (imaginary) ties?
Plug away and hope for change?
Pretend I don’t care?
Post a blog and wait for good advice?
I guess time will tell. I just hope I hear it and do the right thing.

Don’t value yourself based on what some guy thinks of you? Who cares whether or not he mentions you on his blog? Especially since you are taking offence by something he is “not doing.” It’s hard enough relating to what is happening, worrying about what is not happening is just opening a can of painful worms since there’s no limit to it. Easier said than done though, since it does sound like he’s got a passive aggressive thing going. IE by not mentioning you, he puts you in a position with no good options. Sigh, like so many things in life, it’s ultimately your call. BB
