Hello Wandering Soul: The Skeezyks avoids any & all socialization of any & all kinds. Is it painful... well... no... Human beings are social animals as we're too often reminded. So sure... it's probably just natural to want to be around other people. But, from the Skeezyks' perspective, it's all simply more trouble than it's worth. I suppose being here on PC is a way I cope with being isolated. It's enough for me.
