Most people get offended at these things and so in the end I end up loosing the friend because I cannot reciprocate. Everyone thinks I like being alone when really I hate it and am very lonely.

Thanks to everyone. This is how I am too. I mean if I go somewhere I have to be with my only offline friend then it makes it easier for me to be at ease with those people. Crochet class, for me, is the best way of joining a group cause it is not really social (well in my mind) it is a class and I will be learning from it.

I hope all goes well for you dusty.

Thank you for the book, I didn't even know they had such on this topic. I will go to my local bookstore and check that out.
