New house = new life?

Here I am all moved into our new house!  Mallory and Matt and I have a cute house with a cute dog and cat.  Moving in and getting all the utilities and internet taken care of has been nothing short of terrible.  I currently only have $30 and won't get paid until the week after next.  The most stressful thing right now is trying to get loans and register for classes.  Classes start on the 23rd and I don't have any loans yet.  I did my FAFSA and they have checked it but the school hasn't yet told me what I can get.  I know it won't be enough to cover the entire cost so I need to get a bank loan asap.  I really don't want to take classes this semester.  I'd much rather work full time.

Mentally/emotionally, things are getting better.  As I mentioned in my last entry I have cut off and been cut off from Annie.  I was drunk and offended her and it was the last straw.  I feel like she was just appeasing me this entire time to keep me from getting depressed.  It's all finally over and I feel quite ashamed about it.  I only got so interested in her because we are similar and connected well.  I had no one else in my life at the time and therefore she became my only emotional outlet.  I focused a year of pent up frustration and depression on her in a short amount of time.  I wouldn't wish that on anyone.  Things are better now since I have disconnected from it.  There's no real attraction there for me anymore.  She's amazingly beautiful and fun but I think I finally see it in a realistic way now.  I realize that we aren't really that compatible anyway.  I'm far more aloof and eccentric while she is very grounded and organized.  We share similar interests and thought patterns but I think that the fundamentals of our personalities are opposite.

Realizing what I have done makes me feel enormous guilt and also focuses me back on Allie.  I can now really appreciate how much she loved me.  I wish that I could have given her what she gave me.  I was unable and it tears me up.  With all of the people lately that have needed to shut me out in some way, it makes me feel like I am too intense in my emotional waves.  Every time I really pour myself out to someone I stumble and everything becomes a mess.  This makes people distance themselves from me and it reinforces my habit of closing off my emotions so as to not hurt anyone.  I can't practice relaying my emotions because every time I do it I end up wearing someone out or hurting them in some way.  The cycle repeats all the time.

I know that I'd rather be alone forever than to be unhappy in a relationship.  Lately I have decided that I should probably give it up and focus more on being happy alone.  I like being by myself a lot since it's hard for me to relate to people due to anxiety and confidence issues, but I long to meet someone that can keep up with my craziness.  Allie could, but I wasn't in the best state of mind at the time.  Annie is amazingly understanding but I messed that up, too.  I have been given so many second chances that I've screwed up and I don't think I deserve any more.  At this point I am no longer looking for someone.  I am preparing to be a hermit.  I think it is about the only option I have if I don't radically overhaul myself and get a new personality.
