I can't keep friends because I can't go out and visit and chat and talk on the phone and email and instant message and make an effort to keep in touch. I'd rather not bother and prefer to isolate instead.

Friends I do have tend to overlook these qualities, or either forgive me for them and accept that I'm just that way.

And I'm moody and sensitive and get my feelings hurt over some petty stuff, which causes me to avoid those people and lose touch with them.

Plus I'm awkward and apt to say the wrong thing, ask too personal a question, not get a joke, or feel out of my depth.

Hey, just not a typical social butterfly! May you find good friends and keep them!!
