I have a hard time, yes! =(
I feel I become bored rather quickly! And if I don't feel engaged with a person I don't feel like maintaining a relationship (be it casual or otherwise).
On the other hand if the relationship is stimulating I can become a bit too domineering and forceful. I don't want to control the person per se! I simply find joy in all the stimulation.
The irony is I feel so lonely when I'm not stimulated. I do feel better knowing that a wee bit of stimulation and I do feel better.
I'm often worried that others close to me will misinterpret me and thus leave me because of my erracticism and randomness.
