social life

[cjsmith]

Here are a few things I notice.

- anyone who's interested in spending time with me becomes less interested once they get to know me
- the people who know me best have the least time to spend with me
- if I stop reaching out and making invitations, I stop seeing anyone (there's one exception here)

What that tells me is either a) I'm going mad, and imagining observable facts, or b) I do not provide value. (Long term, that is. Short term -- people who don't know me yet -- I think people like the tits. But long term, they see what else comes with, and it's no longer a net win.)

I have to learn how to be a net win, how to provide better value for time spent.

You're going mad.

Actually, I'd echo Larry. You are definitely someone that I like to hang out with, but opportunities don't seem to arise often. Also, I'm a fair distance from you, especially now that I'm working in SF.

All that being said, how 'bout lunch sometime this week?

Indeed, distance is a factor, particularly for a lot of people who might see this entry. :)
