> Also, I think that limited interaction makes it easy to think of others as one-dimensional "caricatures," and we can ignore the aspects that we may find in common, or attractive. Even in my closest lovers, I could name one or two things I dislike. Something about them that I resent quietly or resent openly. I don't know what to make of this. Any interpersonal relationship requires compromise just to exist. I feel unwelcome in the world, on some days. Nowhere else to go, though. Just running out the clock for the next 50+ years

> I feel unwelcome in the world, on some days. Nowhere else to go, though. Just running out the clock for the next 50+ years I have found that getting involved in altruistic and/or volunteer organizations helps a lot. I firmly believe that the work that I do Makes A Difference, and I have a large circle of acquaintances and very close friends, as a result of the work that I do. One of the things about the type of skills that most of us have, is that they fetch a high price, and many budget-conscious orgs can't afford good stuff, which is why you see so many dogshit websites, and whatnot. I have a high degree of skill, and I'm willing to employ that, for free, for organizations that I believe in. It's worked for me. “I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.” ― Hunter S. Thompson
