Dear Matty:

I am glad you started this thread and am very curious about you, so whatever time you took is the time I am interested in giving. And I am interested in learning from you, so as far as I am concerned, this thread is not over… that is, as far as my motivation goes. I am so interested in understanding your contentment being alone- this is unusual as most people have a greater need to be with others, and a need to be with a romantic partner, a girlfriend, in your case. I wonder and will be grateful to you if you help me understand, learn from you.

You wrote that your relationships with your parents are good and were good from the beginning. It makes me wonder if you got there all the love that you need, so much so (and most people do not get all the love they need from their parent/s) that you don’t need that much anymore.

And your serious looking (to others) expression, I wonder about it: the fact that you feel that you are fun loving and yet what comes across to others, you wrote, is someone “too serious.”

As I wrote, I am curious but I fully understand that it is not your job to satisfy my curiosity. So, only if there is a motivation on your part to further examine… please do post again,,,
