I have been "socially challenged" since childhood. The shy one. Little girls were playing dolls, and little boys were climbing trees, now that appealed to me. My best and most loyal friends have been my dogs, and playing out in the woods. Kids were pretty ornery to me, got bullied a lot in h.s. cuz of being a bookworm, kinda nerdy. Still nerdy, still have my dogs.
Spent 16 plus years in the military, so guess I am bossy, impatient, and direct. Not popular with the ladies I meet cuz I cannot for the life of me give a hoot about who's doing what to who, or be nice to your face and stab you at the same time. Just too darn tired for that stuff.
After the military, I wanted to do something "good and useful" out from behind the desk....so silly me....got into eldercare, nursinghomes, rehabs, and Alheimer's Day Program. So bottom line sometimes it's just ok to be quiet.
