Shallowness... My old math teacher used to say that all humans are created equally at birth, and from there it is what gets unlocked, that determines the average, the above average, the genius, and the idiots. But what exactly makes people shallow?

I have a theory, one which I know from personal experience. Shallowness as a defense mechanism. Do people pretend they're hyperactive, completely unserious, or a particularly excitable person so that no one can ever get close enough to see the real person underneath?

Oy... How come is it that I find myself doing that more and more often? This should prolly be going into the other blogger, but I'm too lazy to move it, effectively. Err... Erik told me today in response to something I said that people could never tell when I'm serious. Makes me wonder, why do i do that? It's a defense mechanism, my da says. And I belvie im, simply because I've dona an informal study of people's defense mechanisms... Particularly my family's. My da and my bro both have the "I don't care, you can't hurt me" attitude when someone threatens them, my mom jsut screams and carries on until the threat goes away, and I throw up my shields with a combination of the above-stated, and a hyper, ultra-shallow exterior.

*sighs* Oy... I need to stop that. It gets so annoying, sometimes, I jsut want to whack my own head off with an axe.

And I notoriously avoid things that I think will cause me damage. *grins* Which is why I'm avoiding Clarissa at the moment, as well as several other people who shall remain nameless in this particular blogger. whatever... I sitll need to decide what's up... and why I'm still avoiding that one particular area in my mind... So, night all. I'll tlak to ya later.

And, for all those who read this earlier, the post was deleted because my opinion changed. I decided that that post was, very simply, not worthy to be posted in this sacred place of well-meaning thoughts and opinions.
