Once again I live vicariously through myself.
I feel incredibly guilty when good friends of mine use the phrase "I love you" (Which we will refer to as phrase A in this blog, since I don't want to keep typing it out, and phrase A makes it sound like there's a phrase B so you're more likely to keep reading)and I don't feel like I can say it back. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I hate/dislike/anything-else-like-that. . . them (why does that sentence feel so weird), but at the same time I've been guilty of overusing the L-word, so now I suppose I tend to err on the side of underusing it for fear of continuing the bad habit of overuse. And that erring is tested every time phrase A is used, because I feel dang guilty. It's a moment where a thousand thoughts fly through your head and all of the are screaming that infestant rap song "You're a jerk" (DISCLAIMER: I don't know if thats actually a rap song, but one of the many steroid nuts at school would sing it in a high pitched voice over and over and over and over and. . . you get the point. And no, I don't think infestant is a word either).
Scenario A: Friend A and I
PHRASE A USAGE!!!
Outcome: Guilty
Scenario B: Girlfriend ONLY and I
PHRASE A USAGE!!!
Outcome: Immobility, Speechless, and Guilty
Oh that my mind would slow down!
Phrase B? It worked.
