Good if it worked for you, but are you also suggesting I'm searching for purpose and validation in others? If that is what you think, that's fine and I'm curious to know, but I don't think I am doing that. I don't expect my husband or anyone else to make my life worthwhile, but neither can I be a total hermit in this world. I can't seem to find something bigger than myself, as the saying goes, to connect to. I can't connect, but neither do I get any contentment from hobbies that I liked long ago.
