Have you ever heard of the term "Hedgehog's Dilemma"?

Those of you that watched Neon Genesis Evangelion would probably know what I mean.

For those who don't however;

Picture a hedgehog or porcupine.

(k i know, its cute! ha!)

Basically, the idea is that when the hedgehogs, with sharp spines on their backs, will hurt each other if they get too close.

Hedgehog's Dilemma states that the closer two individuals come to each other, the more likely they are to hurt one another; however if they remain apart, they will each feel the pain of loneliness.


Hmm... Recently I've been suffering the very same dilemma.

Socializing ain't a strong attribute of mine, and the closer friends get to me, the more they suffer due to my erm... hmm... "tenacious" personality!

Ha! So I'm deciding to~ well abstain myself for awhile. Time to MIA once again!! ha...






Fact: Hedgehogs do not actually hurt each other when they get close, human beings tend to keep themselves more "on guard" in relationships and are more likely to sting one another in the way that a relaxed hedgehog would if spooked. When living in groups, hedgehogs often sleep close to each other.
