Trevorzero, I agree with some of what you said. IRL I have no friends and I seem to like it better that way.

But after joining PC, I learned there are different kinds of friends. The people here who helped a newbie that was close to suicidal feel at home. I guess you would consider them just acquaintances, but they all hold a special place in my heart.

I have "friends" that I try to keep in touch with on a regular basis. I guess I wouldn't be a good friend by your standards. Sometimes the depression gets too severe and I have to take a break. Sometimes, like now I visiting with my mother who is dieing of cancer and she takes most of my time.

I would hope those who I consider friends would feel the same way and not judge me too severely when I can't keep in touch.

I hope you find a great group of friends here that you can count on.
