Gashly,
I really understand. For a long time, the only "friends" I had were superficial ones. Even now, I have only one close friend. We have been friends for less than a year, but we have become very close in that time and have both gone through our share of struggles.

I worry that I am clinging to much to her and relying on her for too much, but I have talked to her about it some.

Anyway, to make a long story short, I don't really know how to connect to people. This one just sort of happened all of a sudden. I wish I could offer you some wise words, but I have none.
