some personal guidelines for myself:

get over thyself i.e. relax, this has all been done before

have compassion and don't be hard on people: starting with me

give up trying to figure it all out. when i find myself doing this, i start over at "get over thyself"

if it makes any difference, or even if it doesn't, from a selfish standpoint it's been really nice being in contact with you again. one more person whose face i recognise that smiles at us when you come on by the market, one more blip amongst all the blips of human lives that i can say shines brighter for me than the others who don't know me at all. it's cool to see you and have had some conversation with you during the week.

i think it's man's nature to want to connect...if anything lj gets us back to our roots as humans who want to share and just know there are people "out there". i wouldn't think of it as some waste of time. it doesn't necessarily "get you" more "real" friends etc, but it can give you a broader perspective of life that can help you in the everyday.
