You're not eager to share your innermost thoughts right now. Instead, you're content to remain quiet in a secluded spot where your imagination can unfold without interference. Avoid people who create dramas wherever they go they can poison what should be a very pleasant day. If you've ever wanted to start a diary, now is an ideal time to do so. The material you generate now could be turned into a book later on.

as if. i'm not exactly the shy, retiring sort. even for an introvert.

i think i should have this tattoed on my left hand. or my forehead.

besides- isn't LJ a diary?
drama vs harmony- I prefer harmony myself, but if a natural drama unfolds itself so be it. It is just the manufactured ones I can't stand...
And why does it almost always seem to be females who create them... *shakes head*

i think we need to have a fight about this...

except to be clear that sensitivity is a good thing. [don't have enough of it myself.] and no one is immune from 'over sensitivity'. some of the most sensitive people i know are male. [stupid, stupid macho ... males.]
lol
If anything- the lack of emotion many men experience is a handicap... *shrugs*
(no subject)
perhaps not an absolute nobody. i do seem to have some notoriety ;)
i also prefer harmony. the occasional drama can be good, but too much too often is a clear sign of things not working out. the pot must be stirred occasionally so the soup don't stick ;)
i actually seek balance, rather than peace or harmony. all things in good measure. all things. [my path is littered with the corpses of experience. thank goddess ;)]
my experience suggests that females 'create' drama because they are
i try to find out what has prompted the 'drama'. has led to some of the best (and worst) moments of my life.
i like females. a lot. but they mystify me at least as much as any other male. sometime much, much more.
but since i like a good mystery, especially one that can be unwrapped a layer at a time, it's all good (most of the time anyway :)

I find myself suprised at how much I agree with most of what you said above...
I also enjoy my fair share of simplicity- one can have and experience passion for life without drama- sometimes I ache for a simple/direct/expressive conversation...
and I HATE passive aggressive people - and they are usually women- although I have known my share of shmucky men..
blah.

i think that to the extent that women create drama, it is for two primary reasons.
one, society sends them the message that this is a female/feminine trait. it is unwomanly to react rationally or logically to stimuli. rather, you should trust your intuition, instincts and emotions.
two, women may appear to men to create more drama for the same reason that men appear to women as creating more aggression -- our brains are hardwired differently. women tend to analyze things verbally -- thus, we want to talk about everything. since men don't necessarily want to discuss every subject until they are blue in the face, women may get frustrated trying to talk to non-responsive men.
hence, drama. on the other hand, men attack problems more through action than through discussion. its not too shocking that this active response seems aggressive to a woman who is more verbally oriented, especially if the man is becoming frustrated by the woman who won't stop talking and just do something about it.
i do not think that women create drama any more than men do just because they are bored or desire attention. i was so disappointed to see that overgeneralization in your 'analysis' because really, its just sexist.
:(

must. think. before. posting. mea culpa.
my 'analysis' was oversimplistic. the very few instances where i have actually seen women 'create' a drama (in contrast to trying to get some dumb male to deal with a real issue) tend to have very simple underlying motivations - to get someone to listen to them. [simple, but oh so important ...]
but then, i am a male - and i have yet to understand a great many things about women (this is not a bad thing) and other males. i'm just more aware of this than i used to be.
to be honest, i do not think women 'create' drama any more than men do. people are complex, and we have complex relationships.
i agree with your comments about the thinking/acting approaches based upon different wiring.
as a result of my own wiring, i tend to prefer to talk things through - perhaps i'm more 'female' in that respect than (socialised) male 'norm'. i understand the world through discourse and reflection more than through action. i often hesitate to act because i second guess myself - and others. and i'm actually not good at that.
males and females are wired up differently. and we had to be. we had different functions. the challenge is to find ways to use these differences to our mutual advantage, rather than selfishly. [reworking of our societal structures will only go so far. we have to actually respect one another, and enjoy our differences. diversity is, and always has been, crucial to survival, blah de blah.]
oh, and thanks for pointing out that my overgeneralisation above is sexist. most uncouth (male) barbarian of me. sorry.
still not perfect, but trying :)

ok. back to more concrete things for me like forests and trees...

socialisation is a complicated thing that most people don't even think about. psychology is telling us that up to 90% of a person's behaviour is socialised. even among identical twins.
forests and trees are good. i like to spend time in our botanic gardens. they're right next to the cbd (adelaide's cbd is surrounded by a ring of parklands that include zoological gardens and botanical gardens). spent yesterday (sunday) afternoon there.

am reminded that a journal is a book of sorts. an interactive book.
as for an autobiography. not right now. but i have thought of it. seriously thought of it. even thought about covers, publishers, the works.
as for the no success bit ... really depends upon definitions of success. i have not achieved lasting material success, but i have achieved some personal successes.
yeah. life's not all bad. we all need to remember that from time to time.
