Maybe I should look into counseling

So, while I was in Arkansas (I'll fill my readers in on what happened in a later post), I met three young men, all of which I kind of personally connected to. You know how you meet people and there's just that sort of connection that's almost instantly there? That pretty much happened with all three of these guys. Anyway, one guy I friended on facebook and I've been talking to him over it, the other two I talked to quite a bit over the last week I was there through face-to-face contact and texting.

All three of these guys have told me things that they say they don't normally tell people. Personal things. I'm not wanting to sound like I'm bragging or anything, but this has happened a lot to me and my sister. People who need to talk about things going on in their lives tend to gravitate towards us, and they feel safe enough to tell us what's going on, even if they don't know us real well yet. It's happened so many times that I wonder if maybe I should look into counseling instead of theater. It makes one wonder, really.

What do people see in me that makes them feel so comfortable? Whatever it is, it's a good thing. Still, if anyone could enlighten me on it, I'd greatly appreciate it!

  1. I think you should look into counseling. Counseling could help you.

    ...I mean, wait.

    Actually, I completely get what you mean about the way people open up inexplicably. I know that in my case, it's a combination of me being curious, and most of my friends knowing that I don't judge, am otherwise safe, etc.

    I think in your case, it's probably more about you feeling like someone who is safe than you being overly curious about things. I know that in my experience, I felt at ease with you instantly. it's not just that you are incredibly attractive that drew me to you when we met, but also something else...

    I think you could manage the counseling thing. Just... how good are you at the feed-back end of things?
