Maybe I didn't explain this so well, but I think you all kind of know what I mean.
Take a look at this picture.
I put this picture on my computer screen desk top about one or two years ago. And ever since then, whenever I use the computer, I make sure that a page of the internet or something is covering this picture. Why do I even have this picture if I feel so uncomfortable with it being where it is? Well, that's easy. Because I like the picture and I like Shirley Temple too. As i'm writing this i'm realizing that i've actually become quite used to this picture. But... lets say it was a different picture. One that I haven't seen before or at least haven't seen for such a long time as I have the first one...
I just feel like she is staring straight into my soul or something and I can't look into her eyes. I don't know if you feel the same way I do or if maybe you feel the exact same way but I just thought that maybe I should just write about this whole thing.
Also, Whenever I am in the same room as a picture of somebody looking into the camera I can't act the same way I did when I was in the other room. For example, there is a picture of my grandfather on the mantle in the living room in my house and he is looking into the camera. So... if you look at his eyes, it seems like he is looking at you. When that picture was first put there I could barely even talk in front of the picture because I just felt like he was watching me. Eventually i got more used to it so it really isn't so bad anymore. Then, for christmas, my brother and his wife got me three movie posters. Two were Mary Pickford movies and one was a Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire movie. Both Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire were both looking in to the camera and the three posters were hung above the piano in my living room. I usually sing while playing the piano but when those posters were hung above the piano I couldn't sing at all because I was too nervous. The first few days they were there I was so self conscious of how I played the piano and how I sat down at the piano and walked to and from the piano. You can't even understand how free I felt when we took those posters down and replaced them with a bookshelf. I went straight back to singing like I did before the posters.
SO, that's all I got to say. If you have the same feeling TELL ME! I want to know. Maybe you have a story to tell, kind of like mine... This was a little boring I think, but at least I wrote something.
write a comment and I will most certainly read it and try to reply. I say try because lately I haven't been able to comment on things on the computer. I think maybe one of my friends reported me because she didn't realize that it was me when I left a creepy comment on a video.
I'm the exact same way! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. My best friend always asks me, "why do you always open your laptop and not do anything?" I love my background (it's the soprano's) but I can't look at it or have it showing too long. I get anxious about it. And the anxiety just builds until I have to open google to hide the background. And I can't look at it. If I go to open google, I can't make eye contact with the screen above the task bar and open it as fast as I can. It's so weird.
ReplyDeleteREALLY??? I told my friends all about this weird feeling I have.. and they all think i'm just making it up or that i'm crazy! It's cool that we both have this strange feeling. I recently put a picture of Mary Pickford on my desktop and I can't look at it with out cringing away from it! I always have to have a page open to cover it. And I had to delete half of the other pictures of my desktop because I just couldn't handle it anymore. It's so annoying!
