My head is struck here and I am getting absolutely nothing done today ....

This is intimacy, isn't it?? Wanting someone to respond to you without having to directly ask them for attention??? It doesn't really matter what they do as long as they notice you and respond in some way.

Maybe I am not really asking for support from the people around me after all. Maybe I'm simply looking for signs that intimacy exists in my life somewhere. If this is the case then... I totally suck.

I think I need to go back to my original thought when starting this thread--that my request for support might have been mis-directed or poorly communicated in some way.
