[QUOTE="Steely, post: 281123, member: 3301"] Yes, I think that it is that I need to accept that I am OK being a loner. I feel pressure to "have friends" because that is what everyone else considers normal. But the truth of the matter is that is not what feels right or normal to me. I am in the 2% of the world or something. It makes me feel better that some of you feel the same way. I spent the whole day with a "friend" yesterday - and I would have given a million dollars to just have spent it with myself. I would have felt less lonely and less lost - I would have felt comfortable and not like I was trying to stuff my soul into a duffel bag. I don't know. I am just in a weird spot. Trying to understand and define myself beyond the pain in my life. I do not want the trauma, loss, and abuse to define me - and yet - in some ways these things do define us all right? Otherwise we would not come together on this board. Right? [/QUOTE]
