I did have one relationship when younger, but have been hiding away from the world for so long now... I don't even feel a desperation for it, I think it's just frustrating to feel like it's impossible. To explain the away the disability time, to actually successfully get close to someone, like you mentioned and have them also be somebody who is okay with such an introverted/reclusive lifestyle, or at least, patient enough to help ya get your legs back under you with regard to simple things people take for granted. I don't know. I'm rambling.
I like what you said about people you know in relationships though. I get a similar feeling, even from certain family members. Just kinda feels like the odds are stacked more against us sometimes, doesn't it? I really get the feeling I will hide away in life until it's too late, though. That fear of being judged is just way too hard to overcome to even begin a friendship, let alone more. I do hope you're right though. And I think you're pretty amazing to push through as long as you have at work. Thanks again for reading and the thoughtful response.
