Then I can hate you. And I don&#8217;t have to deal with any awkward feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Spielvogel, the lay-out of this room has changed. Our chairs are too close together. Here, let me pull mine back. That&#8217;s better.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What would happen if we stayed close?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It would make me feel awkward. It would be too intimate. Yuck, I&#8217;d rather talk about ****ing bitches.<\/p>\n<p>If we stayed close, I&#8217;d have to start banging my head against the wall. Then the men in white coats might come in and take me away. They&#8217;d put me in the home and shoot me full of <A HREF=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chlorpromazine\">thorazine<\/a>. I&#8217;m supposed to see a girl this afternoon. I don&#8217;t want to be stuck in a home. So, no thank you, I&#8217;ll stay here.<\/p>\n<p>Can we talk about sex now? I&#8217;ve endured two minutes of intimacy. Now I want a release.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You were five minutes late today. That&#8217;s not like you. I was concerned. How does that feel for you that I was concerned?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It feels really awkward. I&#8217;m not comfortable with people caring for me. I&#8217;d rather you just looked at me as community service hours that you have to fulfill for that bit of bother with the 14-year old girl.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why does it feel awkward for you when people care for you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Because it might expose who I really am. Because it opens up feelings I&#8217;d rather keep hidden. If you care for me, then I might care for you. That might expose stuff that I&#8217;ve squashed down, pushed down, stuffed in a box, locked up, buried in a basement, and I&#8217;ve covered that basement with 10-feet of concrete.<\/p>\n<p>The stuff in that box scares me. If you opened it up, well, I don&#8217;t think that I would be cool, calm, and collected. I&#8217;d be volatile. I&#8217;d be a needy little boy. I don&#8217;t want to open that box. I don&#8217;t want to be a needy little boy. I might lie on the couch and start crying. I&#8217;d start seeking reassurance. I&#8217;d be really vulnerable. I don&#8217;t like being vulnerable. I&#8217;d rather be the cock of the walk.<\/p>\n<p>The stuff in that box I&#8217;ve hidden away, I fear it might be radioactive. It might explode if exposed to the open air. <\/p>\n<p>I feel a lot of shame. My&#8230;wasn&#8217;t cool. I was never one of the cool kids in school. My mom died. So that mommy protection most kids take for granted, I didn&#8217;t get. Instead, I got exposed as needy and insecure and attention-seeking. Not good for nailing the bitches.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, it&#8217;s fine for me to write out vulnerable stuff, but I don&#8217;t want to talk it out face to face. That&#8217;s scary. What if you get to know who I really am, and then you reject me? I don&#8217;t want to experience that. I want to be cool and calm and in control and ****ing bitches.<\/p>\n<p>No, I don&#8217;t want to talk to him. That would be an awkward conversation. I don&#8217;t like those type of conversations. I just want to fly under the radar. If I talk to him, it might be painful. I&#8217;d feel like a dick. I&#8217;m just going to keep things on the down low.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;ve changed. I don&#8217;t want to have conversations about this. What if I started experiencing powerful emotions and my lip started quivering and my eye began blinking and my heart pounded and I saw that what I wanted most might disappear from my grasp? I don&#8217;t like that. Let&#8217;s talk about ****ing bitches.<\/p>\n<p>That would be really therapeutic for me. I want to **** a &#8230;.woman. It&#8217;d be very healing. I&#8217;d re-experience the trauma of my childhood but heal it through a vigorous session of ****ing. The&#8230; ****ed my&#8230; and so I want to **** some&#8230;.bitch in retaliation. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m much more comfortable with this type of conversation. Gonna **** me some bitches. Then I can open up emotionally. We can lie there all spent and panting for breath and there are no longer pretenses between us and now it&#8217;s not so scary to share emotions. But to share that with someone I&#8217;m not ****ing, that&#8217;s scary. I keep that stuff locked up and buried in a basement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What do you want him to know about you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The less the better. Umm, how about I have borrowed functioning when I&#8217;ve got a sheila in my life. She props me up. And that I need to work on my differentiation. <\/p>\n<p>I wish I had a guitar right now so that I could sing a funny song and we could get away from all this icky intimacy.<\/p>\n<p>When I&#8217;m ****ing bitches I feel powerful. When I have this type of awkward intimate conversation, I feel vulnerable. <\/p>\n<p>Our intimacy, sometimes it is awkward and sometimes it is hard. Right now I&#8217;m seeing how far I have to go. I see these big mountains right in front of me and I don&#8217;t feel strong enough to climb them right now. <\/p>\n<p>You often ask me, &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you tell her how you feel?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That makes me feel very awkward and vulnerable. No chick that I dig is going to respond positively if I tell her out of the blue, &#8220;I really care for you and I want to know you better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So when you have me imagine being in such scenarios, I feel awkward. <\/p>\n<p>There are some sessions where I just skip through. I just glide by. Then there are sessions like today where I run into big issues. This was much more uncomfortable, much more intimate, than normal. I&#8217;ve run into some brick walls here. I want to be close to people yet intimacy scares me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am much more comfortable if you simply hate me. Then I can hate you.
