I am a hermit pretty much. I have mostly internet friends and few friends IRL but I enjoy my cats, dog and horse more than people. They are all the companions I need.

My therapist encouraged me to seek human companionship via a local singles group and I did enjoy dinner with people but otherwise I was bored. It wasn't for me.
