Hey guys!
I have a question for you all.
Do you guys have trouble with friendships? I am a bit of a workaholic, and have a very hard time with folks that are purely friends. I have a very hard time having a friendship outside the construct of work. My speculation is that I had such a horrible experience of social space as a young person, and that really didn't rebound tell my late teens, that I just don't trust social space, and I don't trust myself as a social being. I am pretty talented as a professional, respected, highly thought of, very busy, though people I work with def know something is up with me, and when I'm hypo or manic I kind of loose people, I am fortunate to work in an area that values eccentricity and really puts up with and actually kind of shields maverick personalities.
But friends, unless we can find a project to work on, we're finished.
I met a person on line, the only person I have ever met on line, and she moved to town from Australia, and I tried to be friends with her, and I tried to work with her. The work thing didn't happen, and in it's absence, I just can't see maintaining a relationship with her, event though she was an extremely important friend to me when we were just exchanging messages on line.
Does this resonate with anyone?
Let me know!
