Another infinite loop

[rebeccmeister]

Here are fragments of another [presently] infinite loop in my head (the first being the Calvin and Hobbes cartoon).

A quotation from The Red and the Black:

"He must be doing some violence to his feelings, Julien thought, since by nature he is so polite."

The woman on The Bachelor who was an actress was kicked off because the bachelor couldn't tell if she was sincere or simply acting.


I just desperately wish I had time and space to work these thoughts out of their loops.

IMO we are all acting. not a matter of degrees, we simply are (ususally because we are pretending we aren't afraid).
it's usually just a matter of how aware of the fact that we are acting (and how aware we are of the fact that everyone else is acting).
I for example, decided to act like i am awesome. (compared to the "i'm cool and all that but i am not the kind of guy that girls go for" thing i had been doing for the past 10 years.
i know i have my self mostly convinced, and save for a few girls who roll their eyes at me (all of which are patently *not* single....) i think i have the rest of the world convinced.
