I'm alone. I go to work, I go home. I've never been in a relationship. I have several traits that make it difficult to connect to others. People have befriended me but I can't count on them or when I get depressed I isolate and don't know how to get back in touch. I was never even cool enough to be a misfit and have that shared misery. I'm just lame and uninteresting. There are so many things I have never done and experienced. I don't hit rites of passage at the same time other's do; if I do at all.

My pessimistic definition between introverts and extroverts is introverts prefer to be lonely by themselves and extroverts prefer to be lonely with people around them.
