I don't have anything to say except that this is how it is for me in my 20's, and how it's been since my late teens. I was lucky if I had two people to spend time with (whether or not we were close) in my early schooling years, but for a long time it's just been me. No advice out there has so much as made a dent in the slow downward spiral.

I guess I should be glad I was born a nerd and will always have computers.
