I know the word "orphan" usually refers to kids, but without parents I feel like one.

I too have no interest in superficial or casual "friends" or relationships. It's not that I'm not open to it BUT I won't be the one to look for them. Besides, all close friends start out as acquaintances first, and as strangers before that. I no longer expect anything to develop from these casual relationships. I've been burned way too many times.
