Well said. I've found this to be true for me too. My home life as a youth was not very pleasant so I was a bit of a hothead. Things that might have instantly infuriated me in my younger days now might make me laugh or roll my eyes. I still won't be pushed around and I have no problem facing...
I can understand. When I was younger I had quite a few good friends but I always had to force myself to interact with them simply because deep down I really didn't want to be around people. Being alone is where I've always felt safest.
Plenty of kind intelligent people here. I hope you find it...
I think yours is a great introduction. Sorry for your loss. That you're only 22 and at such a young age took on the responsibility of caretaker to someone with dementia AND cancer I think says a lot about you as human being. It takes a special person and it sounds like you're one of them...
