Welcome!

Reading you post was, in many ways, a mirror to myself. I never rebelled, and have never been rolling quite like you, but I also have problems adjusting to being social ('normal'). In many ways I am reclusive. Personally, I just don't find a lot of people very interesting. So, like yourself, I have been called aloof and distant.

I hope you find a real sense of community here, though. Unlike most places, this place has an abundance of bright, intelligent and above all, interesting folks. I don't know if you share that...what ever you would call it...with me, but I thought I'd say that anyway.

You are most graciously welcome here, fellow [lone] traveler!
