I cannot say that I have ever been particularly sociable -- really, I was always rather aloof in comparison to many of my peers. Remaining alone never particularly bothered me, and at times, it was quite a blessing. However, whenever I do attempt to engage a given community, my ideologies, reasoning, or fundamental values typically differ drastically. Of course, I have still held my own share of friends, but I have never actually fit into any single community. This in itself is not problematic, but I never have anyone to turn to.
Whenever a problem arises, it is as though my experiences vary so greatly from others, and I am unable to derive a solution based upon their experiences. I have yet to find another person whose desires and dreams even remotely resembled my own -- I have never even met another individual who shared the same taste in music as me. Even where I have approached others in the past, they could never provide me a resolute response. Oftentimes, they will merely being a discussion, but they will cut it short immediately. And if I as much as attempt to Google a dilemma, there usually exist no results concerning the matter -- questions that no one has ever asked. It is as though there is not a single other person in which I can turn to who has genuinely shared similar experiences, ideas, or ambitions. Remaining alone is perfectly tolerable enough, but it is practically unbearable being incapable of devising a solution to a problem. I am sure that someone else does share similar experiences, but no one seems to have ever actually vocalized them before.
