I thought I could spend the rest of my life happily inside my own head, without need for conversing deeply with anyone in real life, and getting my discussion kicks from online discussions... ... I've since moved back to my home town, and broke up with my girlfriend of 3 years. There's nothing more lonely than being surrounded by people, extremely nice people, who just don't understand you. Sure, I will no doubt continue to fail to find "my people", but I want to try, and being understood by the people around me is something I want to spend the next decade pursuing. I'm as quiet and as antisocial as they come, with constant retreats into daydream and fantasy. But I'm not a hermit, and it pains me that I wasted the last decade having to figure that out.
