simplybrill Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 I'm a hopeless phone-checker. I check my phone all the time to see if anyone's called...and most the time, nobody has! It just makes me really sad sometimes, because it makes me feel like nobody I know cares enough to call. That, and I keep wanting this one guy to call and he hasn't, and that just makes me feel really bad too. How can I stop with the checking all the time!!!
abiyes Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Especially based on the way that I have been behaving lately.... I recently gave my phone number to a man that I am interested in.... Everytime I come back from work, the first thing I do is go to my caller ID to see if he had called...lol This is just crazy... I even decided to unhook the phone with the caller ID and replace it with another one....but as I was so afraid of missing one of his calls, I ended putting the original phone back...lol I decided to keep myself more busy than usual to stop this silly behavior. I now take more walks during the evening or go out to visit friends as I noticed that when I stay beside the phone, it usually never rings... Maybe you can try it too. Good luck!
bluetuesday Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 oh girls, girls. me and my phone are never parted. when i die, they'll bury me with it. tonight i've spent something like 5 hours with it in my hand, waiting for a certain someone who didn't even say he was gonna call, to call. and in case i blacked out or missed the impossibly loud ringing tone and vibrating alert, i've been checking the display to see if he's sent me a text message every few minutes. then, get this, to cheer myself up i rang my voice service just to listen to the last message he left me so i could hear his voice. misery, self-loathing, a vacuous waste of time, energy and patience. in annoyance i'll turn it off soon, sit looking at it for half an hour mulling over the watched pot theory, flick it back on and a new wave of disgust will engulf me when i realise there's still nothing there. best of it is, the poor guy has no idea. if i asked him to call he'd call, but that would sort of defeat the object.
Author simplybrill Posted September 13, 2004 Author Posted September 13, 2004 hahahah YES I know what you mean. The whole watched pot theory has been imprinted on the inside of my eyeballs by now, as I glare at my poor phone, wondering why he didnt call. I called him in fact, and he was very nice and very sweet and I wish I had longer to talk to the guy. Its still eating at me,,,why doesnt he call? Why am I doing all the calling? I wish I knew. He actually called me cutie today. Yes it sent my stupid sappy, love-sick puppy heart soaring...I think I should trade it in for the barricuda edition instead ladies. I know that wave of disgust,,its international not just in London. The thing with this guy is,,if he was just taller...you know this would all be so fabulous. Why is it, I get on with him so well, but he's too short for me! Why is it always the short ones, who are pardon the pun, down to earth?

tokyo Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 I´ve been checking my phone and emails nearly every minute for about a year and a half. It´s getting better. What I do now? I enter LS, it distracts and entertains me.... Reading all these crazy posts is fun and you see there are a lot of people with faaaar worse problems than you have. My problem now - I spend too much time reading and writing posts, but I should work.
Papillon Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 What I've done is to make my phone kick up a vibrating racket like a mofo whenever it receives a message. That way I assopciate the noise with the presence of a message, and not the presence of the phone. You're associating the phone with the message. Don't. Associate the noise with the message. That way the phone ill just lie there, ignored, until it beeps.
tokyo Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 It´s not about associating anything, I have two different rings for messages and phone calls, doesn´t matter, I was still looking at it all the time like I was able to hypnotize it.... My phone was loud enough to wake up dead people - doesn´t matter.....
cateinaus Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 lol@blue, you really are heaps funny. But on a serious note, I really feel for you ppl that sit by the phone or have it glued to your hand in the hope that it will ring (or vibrate) and it will be "him" (or her). Your heart will skip beats and you will be all gooey. Then once you hang up the phone you will wonder if you said all the right things or if you acted like a fool. You will replay the conversation over and over and ask yourself "what did he mean by that", "what does he think of me now" blah blah blah........hohum. Crikey, my phone rings all day and I wish it wouldn't (lol, nah just kidding)...well it does...but it's normally business related. Honestly though luvs, just learn to sit back, chill out.....and whatever you do, don't feel sad and judge your self worth on whether or not ppl call you. Get busy. Hugs
