Shay, I don't think any "one" person can meet all your human needs. You are part of a whole. Donne says it best this way:

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind...

Hubby is a loner, too. He spends much time alone reading or listening to music. Doesn't have many friends. However, he's expressed to me his envy, if you will, of me and those that I call friends. He's basically unhappy. Just tonight we spent hours talking about it. What it all boils down to is fear. Fear of rejection, fear of not meeting expectations, fear of someone telling him he's wrong or trying to change him... and the list goes on and on.

Give this some thought and see if you don't start to agree with your T.



PS Yes, interaction by this medium can be very helpful, too! Don't tell your T I said! LOL
