I'm single and have no children. I wouldn't mind having a significant other, but I like being single too. I do not plan to have children, ever.
I have a couple of very close friends, and a large circle of acquaintances. I am very comfortable with my close friends...people often think we're sisters. However, lately, I've found myself wanting to pull away; I think I've become too close and need distance now.
My relationship with my parents is complicated. I love them, and spend time with them, but they don't really know me and that hurts. I want them to know me better, but I'm terrified of being rejected for being who I am rather than who they want me to be.
Extended family...I keep in contact, but I'm not particularly close to anyone. Old friends...again, I keep in contact, but I'm not close to them.
The people I have strong relationships with are a very small group - really, just a couple of friends. And T.
Sometimes, I wish I had more people in my life that I felt I could really trust and be comfortable with. But, I have stronger relationships now than I think I ever have, so maybe that day will come. Maybe not, I am incredibly private and feel uncomfortable having lots of people that know me well.
