Dear The Bard:

Interesting, you wrote: “I’m having trouble relating to ‘normal’ people problems… no drugs, not an alcoholic, no major money/gambling issues”- doesn’t surprise me that drugs, alcohol and money issues is what is normal in your experience. I believe dysfunction is indeed normal, or common.

I wish you were able to meet the few… abnormal people out there. Attempt to, perhaps?

I am also not surprised that in your experience too, “no one wants to.. actually get to know me”- I think most people spend time with others not for the purpose of getting to know them, but so to not be alone, or to distract themselves.

Will be nice if you interacted with at least one person who wants to get to know you, who is motivated to learn more about you. That will give you something to look forward to, won’t it?
