Part of why I decided to join pc, is because I have difficulty in coping with my own emotions. Consequently, I can't say I'm good at relationships, of any nature (other than just small talk) I'm unsure, but don't think I'm alone in this? Inability to interact well, on any meaningful level? Sooo, why I'm posting, is, I'm in the process of moving. I'm glad, it's a good thing, and I believe the decisions a fab one, only...how can I be liked, if I don't move beyond 'basic connections' and, for the main part, I wish to keep myself to myself? How is this best achieved?

Don't get me wrong, I certainly don't wish to be disliked. I would like people to believe I'm a decent person (I try to be mainly) but, it's the fact I'm a very solitary person. I want friends, therefore, I know I have to be amenable. How do I make/keep friendships, whilst (politely) making it clear, I also need a substantial amount of solitude....as I'm not a people person. Thanks
