Regressions

According to Wikipedia Regression, from a psychological point of view refers to  "a defense mechanism leading to the temporary or long-term reversion of the ego to an earlier stage of development rather than handling unacceptable impulses in a more adult way." meaning that "The defense mechanism of regression, in psychoanalytic theory, occurs when thoughts are pushed back out of our consciousness and into our unconscious.^"

I think I may have been suffering from this symptom. Lately I've been writing in my Teen angst style. which was long time buried !!! I guess the whole adapting to a new city and a new life is harder then i had anticipated. But never did I even consider the fact that my old mood swings, my slicing habits and apparently old obsessions would kick back in and monopolize my entire self once again.
The fact remains that they have all come back to hunt me. Even weird vivid crazy dreams about my old crush have been coming to me. I guess I long for the old days but this whole issue is becoming absurd. I am 23 years old I am not suppose to be feeling the confusion a teenager suffer

I guess the no one is ever to old to be trapped in by regressions. Now that I am aware of it the issue should become obsolete for how can i continue to regress when i am aware and will be strong enough to overcome them. But how can I become strong enough to outgrow the regressions? Just knowing I have regressed has helped a lot at least now i am aware of my actions .But it is not enough. I still continue to slip back in to my old habits including the continuing annoyance at everyone and everything.

These damn regressions are making my life even more complicated then I can handle.

Any Suggestions?

Free Hugs

So me and my best friend in the whole world are walking around at the premium outlets just wondering around. Mentally preparing for what shopping around sale specials usually in tails: pushing, pulling and glaring.
In any other city in the world shopping is a very aggressive sport, after all good prices fly of the racks. And I am not saying its any different in Austin except that well  ii is the city of WEIRD so beside the above items this particular day of shopping held a surprise.
Outside on the quad a lady held a big sign which read: Free Hugs.
Weird right? I am not saying hugs are weird but hugs given by complete stranger WEIRD.
Well being the antisocial creature that I am. I backed away from this crazy lady avoiding her gaze and bumping straight in to an old lady, that's how deep the need to run possessed me.
But apparently I was the only one with this despair. People around this lady just laughed and received their free hugs.
It wasn't until later on I learned that there is a free hugging campaign going on. apparently one can find all kinds of free hug videos on the YouTube.
So if you are not as socially challenged as me you might want to look at the videos and try promoting this new campaign at your city. Good luck with that.

There are like hundreds of videos just imput free hugs and the city of your desire.
 Here is an example video.
