I don't connect to others or form friendships easily, so I am a bit lonely. Luckily, I work a job that regularly exposes me to people so I have opportunities to enjoy the company of others. I have a few people I'm close to, but I don't see them often or they're online friends so it leaves me with too much time to myself.

I also tend to attract very needy people, so if I'm not careful I wind up drained by people who don't care about me - just the attention.
