I need to learn to be more quiet
Aug. 16th, 2005 10:57 pmThis sometimes happens to me when I'm in a bad mood: I want so
badly to be in a better mood, I start talking to people, having a good
time, then I just start actually speaking my mind. Not that
people care all that deeply, it's just that I can sometimes say too
much.
To put it another way, I need to stop talking about sex with the people I work with. Now they know more about me than I'm comfortable with. Never mind we were talking about how women need to feel more empowered and in control and unafraid to express their sexuality without fear of societal or cultural reprisal. Which I totally agree with. But I still came out of that conversation about how I feel about flings in general thinking, "Now they think I'm a slut." Not that there's anything wrong with it, but I'm not. I just feel uncomfortable that people I work with, though informally, know so much. I'm also not particularly comfortable knowing so much about their sex lives, either.
Ugh. I can't unsay anything now. Plus, now the guy I work with who I think might like me a little knows I have a crush that isn't him.
And I'm still very grumpy.
