Hi everyone.
Just discovered this forum and it looks like a great place to hang out. My name's Dave, I'm 49 and live in the UK. I've experienced deep feelings of loneliness since childhood, partly due to health problems (diabetes/epilepsy aged 10) and partly due to having a naturally introverted nature. I remember sitting in a city centre in my teens, watching crowds of people walk by and feeling that I just didn't belong. I thought those feelings would pass as I grew older, but thirty years on those feelings are stronger than ever.
I feel increasingly disillusioned with life - just turn on the evening news most days to see why - and despair sometimes at the way human beings treat one another. As a way of coping with this disillusionment I've often retreated into my own little fantasy world(s); when I was younger I used to play d&d, MUDS and in more recent times mmorpgs. I also love to read a lot of fantasy/sci-fi books and enjoy the outdoors.
Anyway, thanks for reading!
