    I used to be the guy that knew everyone, introducing my friends to others, and others to others.

    These days, I have maybe 2 friends.

    The good friends I once had believe everything they see on Facebook.

    I just couldn’t anymore.

      I don’t know what the hell is wrong with me. Probably childhood abandonment, abuse, and neglect.

      My poor mom tried, she really did. She was abandoned, abused, and neglected too. A lot of things that would have seemed absurd to a healthy person were normal for her so she tolerated a lot and expected a lot. She suffered so much as a kid that whatever idea she had about family, she was sticking to.

      I have no close friends and I LOVE it that way. I wish I didn’t.

      Being alone is my favorite way to be. I can’t move in any direction in life because of it. Fortunately my wife wants me to be a stay at home dad. She isn’t crippled like I am and she loves me anyway, thank goodness.
