Comfortable in the chaos....yup that's me. Totally. Resenting and fighting against 'normal' that is me too. What a light bulb moment this post was for me. I too hide from people and making new friends....I hate politics, which is one of the reasons I don't volunteer at my kid's schools. I hate the back stabbing. I've been locked in the house for almost five years now...five if you count pregnancy due to having triplets...I feel 'institutionalized'. Having freedom next school year I'm sure is going to be a huge shock for me.
