I have these embarrassing events in my life where I cannot seem to get past them. Something will remind me of them, and I'll just die inside. I won't be able to sleep. But at least I don't bother other people with them.

Just mentioning this has now made me recall some older events. Oh Jesus, why did I write this comment?

"Friend, I'll be honest, I don't want to bother you with this meta-awkwardness either, but its reached the point where I need you to either stab me, forgive me, or agree its just too awkward not to share, if I am ever to sleep again."

The few times I tried, speaking with the involved persons about it helped. But those were lucky moments.

Well.... this is awkward.

Sometimes I wish there was some accepted social cue to just send someone a message and clarify what you actually meant. We all do that, why not just accept it, deal with it, and move on?

I need friends like this. Why feel awkward alone when you could be feeling awkward together.
