This one is not going very well at all. Everyone has their different ways of coping, mine happens to be escapism. You know, playing video games, watching television, mindlessly surfing the internet, that sort of thing. Why ponder your inadequacies when you can live vicariously and not feel a thing? Just switch on the telly and watch these nice people. Forget about yourself. Forget about everything. It does work.

You have to confront your feelings eventually though; it’s the only way to function properly. And of course indulging in this zombie-like existence usually only makes things worse. Fear you’re becoming boring? Well watching Buffy reruns isn’t going to help, is it? Neither is wallowing in self-pity or buying things to make yourself feel better or any of that.

Sorry for hijacking the goal and turning it into an angstfest. :/
