Re: crud..
kevin,
it has been one of the most obvious features of your posts here at curezone that you are not a person who is comfortable in his own skin - both physically and psychologically. this is not anyone elses problem, its yours and only you can deal with it.
your roommate sounds like he didnt want to be associated with the tbn crowd by his other friends. what he said wasnt about you or for you, it was about him and for the benefit of his friends.
if you are afraid you are alienating your friend already, you probably are. chill out already or you can ruin a good thing before it even gets started. you need lots of nurturing, but he is not your mommy. he needs his space, and if you get in it enough he will make it so you cant.
take a walk, learn the neighborhood, and for sure leave the house sometimes while your friend is home so he has some time alone. if this is coming to a head this quickly inside of you, you will make it an issue between you. its something you can and should deal with yourself. its not his problem.
you know that park(woodward, i think) at 21st and peoria in tulsa? a bunch of us hippie wannabes would spend the whole weekend in that park, day and night, it was full of kids. this was 1974. man have things ever changed.
