I am sorry to hear about your childhood. You seem like you dealt with it well.
I have a communication problem I think... even when I want to, it's hard for me to get close to people. I don't know the right things to say so it doesn't come across annoying or inappropriate at the time. It's "small things" but they make an impact. I would like to have someone to practice with consistently but friends choose you according to how interesting you are, and... you can't make anyone want to take the time out to speak to you. I don't want to bother people but I desperately need speaking and relaxing.
By the way, could I PM you?
