I am lonely, yet I am surrounded by friends with whom I am engaged in an advanced relationship. Often, this emotional dissociation can be easily explained within a medical context, yet occasionally it will seem to me that the majority of people simply lack comprehension, understanding, discernible virtue or strength of character. I partially detach myself from them because of this.
Sometimes, it provides me with emotions similar to extreme elation. Others, it causes me to descend into a realm of depressive mania.
