Amity- It's okay, like I said I was trying to word it differently in my head so I didn't take offense to it. I know that me, being the queen of miscommunication. I try not to take ANYONE at face value anymore. It's upsetting when people do that to me, and I didn't "mean" what they're thinking, so I try really hard not to do it to others. But yes my activities become like friends. They really do. I love animals so as soon as I possibly could I made sure I got a dog. She keeps me busy a lot and is honestly my best friend. I don't think I could survive without her. Especially in the really paranoid times when I am afraid of the world. She makes it feel even just slightly safer. I trust her of anyone to protect me. (she's a doberman)

Chiva- I'm sorry you've had such a rough time with isolating. I hate the realization that you're lonely. I didn't realize it either for the longest time and then one day I'm just like "I am so lonely. I have no one".
