It's great that you are making progress.

That is definitely what I am trying to do - build a larger friend-base so that I don't put so much pressure on people. T__T (Not sure about the balance of activities - my life is busy enough, but I don't often have time to do the things I want to do.) I have no face-to-face friends at all. There doesn't seem to be anyone around here, or any way to find them. The internet is perfect for that. I'm starting to think I don't need face-to-face friends, LOL. But then I may hardly leave the house at all. Bad enough that I tend to stay in all weekend and never go any further than the garden, if that.
