You struck a major chord with me. I remember the same disconnect when I was a child. I grew up in a Catholic Orphanage, suffered through a lot of abuse and couldn’t connect to any of the others who were in the orphanage.my adult life has been the same. Luckily I met someone on No Longer Lonely, a website for mentally ill people. I met my wife there. We emailed for a year and met. We got married July 3rd 2005 and just celebrated 14 year anniversary. We are still not social people, we have no friends either who are not online but we don’t care. We have each other.
I can’t tell you’ll find the love of your life online, but you will find friends!
