I haven't had any friends or contacts for 7 years, I'd prefer people I could meet and associate with in the real world.

I have actually done that before and now feel so utterly horrific about it that I am afraid to enter into a real life friendship again, for fear of hurting the person.
Sometimes I think that karma is keeping me from having actual relationships. Or rather, protecting me from getting hurt and hurting others when I panic and disappear without warning.

It is a strange affliction when your heart constantly wants to connect but your brain says no.
Years ago, when I was feeling especially brave, I had the audacity to try and reconnect with some of the people I fled from. Surprisingly, a few took me back...until I got too close, freaked out and disappeared again.
I'm glad at least someone else understands this.

The friends you will make in university and work will always have some underlying intention: sexual, academic, or professional."
