  • I get tired of being alone too. I am very fortunate in that I have friends who "stick by me" but even my closest friends struggle with me and I've never been able to find anyone who truly accepts me for who and what I am. Often I feel inferior and somehow lacking. 

    One of the things that I struggle most with is office/friendship politics - I think my honesty overides any inclusion in these!

    It would be good to be able to share lives and accept differences in real life.Smile
