People don't realize this, but love does not only needs a transmitter but also a receiver. Some people simply have a hard time to make connections and feel the love that is there.

Of course I'm not saying it is your problem, but with some people it IS the problem.

I seek semi father figures in friends sometimes. Why? Because my dad is a bad dad and I look for another one? NO. Because he is a pretty good dad and I look for his positives in other people, and it is sometimes nice to have people give another perspective based on age.

What ages are your friends? I only have ONE single friend my own age, the others are older or younger.
