I can relate to most people on their level, but then feel lonely because they can't relate to me. I felt like I always had to curb myself in company.

This is my DD, to a tee. She is a friend to many people. But gradually over the past few years, she has chosen to uninvest in many of those relationships because SHE isn't getting anything at all out of them. It's just time that makes her feel more lonely. She likes BEING liked, all right.

But it's not the same as having a two-way friendship. frown

Oh. My. God.

I'm going to have to process this for a while. I believe this may explain a great deal about why I don't have friends.
