I wish I could spend some time alone, you know, without me tagging along, but I just haven't found a way. Everywhere I go, there I am. Distance is no barrier either. I once traveled 500 miles in one night - and I was right there the minute I arrived. It was as though I knew in advance where I was going and arranged to arrive at the same time I did. It's just frustrating!
I guess I've been trying to get away from me since childhood, at least it seems that way. I've gone as fast as I could possibly go, only to find myself waiting as soon as I arrived. When I sleep, I find myself dreaming about me doing stuff and when I wake up - there I am - laying in the same bed as myself. I just can't get away from me, no matter what I do.
It's as though I know what I'm going to do, the instant I do and I wind up doing the exact same things I do. I'm like an evil twin or something. Sometimes, knowing what I'm going to do already, I mess myself up on purpose, just so I'll be embarrassed or ashamed of myself. There's no stopping me either. Even when I know I'm going to do something stupid, no matter how hard I try to avoid it, I still do the stupid thing. It's as though I'm hell bent on ruining me and I don't understand why I would do that.
So you see my problem. If I could just get away from me for awhile and do some thinking without me interfering, I'm sure I'd do a lot better in my life. I mean, every time I come up with a wonderful plan, I come along and mess it up. I'm driving myself crazy, trying to figure out how to keep me from screwing up my best laid plans, but no matter how hard I try, I always find out what I'm going to do, almost as soon as I've decided.
If I could just get some time alone without me being there.

I have a wife. In fact, she was the one that pointed out that I was screwing things up, without me even being aware of it. That's when I knew that I had a problem with me and started trying to get away from myself.
I'd like to know what I could accomplish - without me interfering with me.

Looks like you are stuck. Maybe a bottle of Jack Daniels could separate you temporarily.

I tried that route years ago - and discovered there were three of me. I don't drink anymore, so I'm my only problem.
BTW, back when I was drinking, I knew there were three of me, because I'd get blamed for stuff, that I was pretty sure neither one us did, so that left only one conclusion - there was another me doing really, REALLY stupid stuff - and blaming us for it. :wink: :mrgreen:

Yes, I try to keep a Sybil tongue in my head. To do otherwise would be unsybilized.

If Jack doesn't work for you try a good Tequila but not one with a worm in the bottom of the bottle.
