1: I fucked it up again.

2: What did you do this time

1: I think I over-shared.

2: Why?

1: Because I wasn't getting a reply.

2: How do you know that you're the reason you weren't getting reply?

1: I don't. That's what's eating at me.

2: Do you know what your problem is.

1: That I spend too much time in my own head.

2: It's more than that.

1: So what is it?

2: It's that you forget no one else does.

1: How do you mean?

2: Take this most recent fuck up, what happened?

1: Well I met someone. We agreed to do a project together. But I spent way too much time obsessing on that project. Which in turn, meant I sent way too many emails discussing it. Which in turn, I'm pretty sure scared her off.

2: Did you just send her emails about the project?

1: No.

2: Do you think that might have been where you fucked up?

1: Maybe, Hell I don't know what to think.

2: What do you think you over-shared?

1: Just bits and pieces about me and my day.

2: If you could do it all over again, what would you do differently?

1: Establish time frames, and work on other things as well.

2: Do you think that's possible?

1: Yes, but I honestly don't know if I'm reading this whole thing wrong.

2: How's that?

1: It could be she's just been busy, or doesn't check that email address that often, and since I spend too much time in self doubt I keep sending emails to an empty house that she'll only check once in a while.

2: And when she does she'll find way too much there, and it'll freak her out.

1: There is always the other possibility.

2: What's that?

1: That she'll get it. That she's just as obsessive in some other aspect of her life and she'll get it.

2: Wow, I'm glad I'm not you.

1: Why is that?

2: Because you seem to have the type of hope that can cripple someone.

1: The last time this happened, the girl knew what to do.

2: What was that?

1: She just told me 'fuck off'.

2: And that worked?

1: It hurt, it sucked, but yeah it worked.

2: So I guess the upside you're not dangerously delusional.

1: Nope, just obsessive and filled with self doubt.

2: Hey who isn't?

1: Most people.

2: Good to know you're self aware enough to understand that.
