Quote:Surrounding yourself with people is but a temporary fix which will only last until you realize that you don't have any kind of serious connection with them. I've always been a fan of "quality over quantity."
I totally agree.
Quote:why don't you get a dog?
I actually did get one for Christmas, and he certainly helps, its hard to think how I'd be handling this overwhelmingly busy time without him.
Quote:I talk to people during the day, but I don't feel like I have any real friends by the usual definition of "friend." It's the sensitive introvert's burden. Not only do we have fewer friends, but we feel more alone.
That's exactly what's going on. There when they have to be, not always when you hope they'd be.
