I’ve rarely had close friends or relationships. Today I lost two close acquaintances (not friends that would imply that we do stuff together) because they are moving away. Now if I had a normal relationship life where I had close friends this wouldn’t be a big deal. However, it is because it gives me two less lifelines to my already lonely world. I tried to convince myself that I would be okay but it has taken me years to just develop these links to the world. Thing is these losses happened simultaneously so now I need to start all over again to replace them. This is hard because I don’t really know how to get close to people and when I even get to a point where people know my name it’s a victory. I can say that I’m scared because I don’t want to be any farther away from a friendly voice - thanks from an old man in the wilderness......
