Being a loner isn't necessarily a bad thing. Some of the most gifted artists, writers, thinkers, scientists, pioneers, etc. liked to be alone more often than not. We do see the world differently and it's okay to feel lost in a world that doesn't get you. I love the Internet for the very reason that you can interact with billions of people with millions of interests. Out of that kind of pool, you're bound to find the people similar to yourself which you might not meet on the street in your town or anywhere you happen to be. It's not intimidating and you can always disappear anonymously if people are mean, which is tougher in real life.

I'm not saying we don't need friends we see in real life now and again, but if you're focusing on getting better, your docs and support groups are really all you got to worry about. That's where I am. And yeah, I have trust issues too. Don't most people with intense emotions have them? If we didn't feel so much, were dumber or more calloused, then maybe people and memories from the past wouldn't be so painful.

You're welcome here always. I call myself a misfit's misfit. Which is of course why I became an artist. Huzzah!
