I'm kind of a strange person on the inside so just bare with me. One side of my personality is feeling great, in fact, probably better than ever. There are a lot of good things going on in my life right now and I have the work ethic to fully realize these opportunities that I have been presented with. On the other hand, I'm kind of isolated socially and I don't think its going to get any better considering I'm 18 and have never really done the "normal" things that young men my age have already accomplished throughout high school (going out to parties often, having a girlfriends etc.). There's really no reason I should be so out of touch with people my age other than the fact that I'm a really shy, quiet guy. Maybe university will change this......probably not. I hate the fact that I used to not mind the solitude but now I do! It's like an annoying little itch that you just can't scratch! It seems like there are only 2 solutions to this problem, either purge myself of all emotions -_- or go out and make some more friends and stop being so shy and reserved.
