I do.
My Sanguine side loves to socialize, to be with people, to have fun. My Melancholic side likes to observe people, likes to feel appreciated, and wants people to live up to expectations. It isn't too hard to satiate my Sanguine side at school, but when it is mixed with my Melancholic traits... that's when I feel about ready to tear my hair out!!!!!!! How can I engage in conversation with 50 people in a day and come away feeling so very alone?! Why do I feel like I'm putting on an act and nobody really knows who I am?!?!
I suppose it's my sensitive nature that makes some people seem callous. I try very hard, but sometimes I feel so unknown, unwanted, unappreciated.... just UN! I don't feel like I have a niche and, although I do love to get along with everyone like I generally do, it would be nice to have a close friend who understood me, who would be there for me. I do have at least one such, but she's not here at present. And so I must content myself with doing things with all various people, but never the same person or people on a regular basis. It all seems very superficial, though perhaps it isn't quite as it seems. It makes me wonder if I'd leave a gap at all if I were to die tomorrow.
Ah, well. Such is life. Although this feeling seems to be closing in on me more and more frequently of late, I'm sure that it too will pass in time. I just had to vent, but didn't want to bother anybody..... at least if you've read this post, you've done it of your own free will and not because you couldn't get me to shut up, right?? ;)
Maybe tomorrow my Sanguine will win out and I won't be too bothered by the slew of thoughts that seems to follow everything. Or if my Sanguine didn't show through at all, that might be okay too. I'll see if I can't just live life one day at a time and avoid getting complicated like this! Thanks for bearing with me - I guess it's my Sanguine once again that wants to get the Melancholy off my chest! ;) ........enough for now, though.
God bless~

Boy, do I know that feeling!
It's one we must fight - that melancholic tint on life. And that's what it is -- a TINT -- not plain reality.
Hang in there and
hang on to Our Lord, who knows so well all our temperaments and how best to use them in our salvation. I hope these melancholy parts of our lives will serve as Crosses for us, that patiently borne, destroy our sins and carry us to heaven!
Hang on and balance, with JMJ.
PS - Linds, thought-ruts likewise!
:) hehe, my sanguine side makes Mely move over. dear choleric helps with that too. ah, but don't worry, Mels is good for something. like, uh....hmmmm.
This is it, exactly. You express exactly how I feel and reading them it clarifies my confusion. Thank you.
