The lyrics were catchy (it was used in an ad) and the chorus went something like this:</p> <blockquote> <p>If you make sure you’re connected<br> The writings on the wall,<br> But if you’re mind’s neglected<br> Stumble you might fall</p> </blockquote> <h2 id="disconnected-stumble-you-might-fall">Disconnected? Stumble you might fall</h2> <p>I am feeling disconnected from the world around me the last few weeks. It is like the people around me aren’t as close as normal and seems like I’m not as in touch with what is going on with me and with others. As a result I have been feeling a little blue. A little disconnected.</p>https://archive.nickperkins.au/nicholosophy/the-idea-of-being-sociable-seems-so-foreign-to-me/Fri, 26 Nov 2010 16:50:44 +1000https://archive.nickperkins.au/nicholosophy/the-idea-of-being-sociable-seems-so-foreign-to-me/<p>I’ve never been big on making friends. It’s not that I don’t want to, I’m just really inept at it. When I’m in a social situation it is quite normal for me to sit quietly in a corner somewhere as everything else revolves around me. Occasionally I will pluck up the courage to talk, but quite often I will peer into my phone and pretend I’m doing something important. This implies that I’m not available and you don’t have to worry about me. Yet I’d love you to worry about me.</p>
