I'm nosey.
There. I said it.
It's not that I feel entitled to know what's going on in everyone else's life, and it's not that I'm intent on doing anything with the information once I have it.
But I just wanna know what my family and friends are up to, you know? If someone is having a fight, it kills me when I don't know why. If someone is sad, I can't stand it when they say 'I don't wanna talk about it". You wanna send me up the wall? Stand in my office with a big, shit-eatin' grin on your face and when I ask, say, "Nah, just in a good mood. Must be the sunshine."
Sure; I put up a brave face. "Oh, hey, you know, it's cool; I don't want to pry. Not my business. I'm here if you wanna talk." But inside, I'm yelling, "AAAAACK! WHY WON'T YOU TELL ME???"
Maybe it's "Mother Hen" syndrome. I really need to know that the people I love are OK. Or maybe it's a lack of character. Maybe it's some deep-seated paranoia that suggests that if they won't tell me, it must be because I'm the butt of some joke or so emotionally incompetent that I cannot be opened up to.
Or maybe there's some spinach in my teeth. Do I have spinach in my teeth?
I don't know.
But I want to.
C'mon. Spill! ;)

I have the same problem sometimes. My unhealthy side assumes it's because of some flaw of mine, or because it's about me and I don't get to be in on it. *hug*

I get a kick sometimes when I find myself happy to be in the dark. Ah, mystery!
Yes, you have spinach in your teeth.
There, I finally said it. I feel much better now.
Dude, not only is it spinach, it's poppy seeds too! ;-)
