Complications
Sep. 20th, 2014 07:12 amI'm realizing just how much energy it takes for me to be in unstructured interpersonal relationships. I'm oriented towards school lately, towards pouring my energy into that particular bottomless hole, and I don't have a lot left over. Certainly I don't seem to have enough to deal with a shifting relationship landscape. I don't want to think about logistics and planning -- usually my schtick within the context of a relationship -- I just want to get things done with maximum efficiency. I can figure out how everything fits together just for myself effortlessly. I can't plan around other folks in the same way.
Am I running up against a control mechanism around my abandonment issues where I try to control everything, or am I running up against a reasonable desire for stability in a tough time? Or rather, how much of each is going on right now? Let's sit with this for awhile.
