| Needing isolation yet enjoying the few chances I do get to talk to someone. That's the dichotomy I have to wrestle with. Isolation wins when there is a choice between the two. Isolation is the natural need. The talking is just a stimulating event that is viewed as idiotic after it's finished. Nothin... |

| It's all about being old for me. Old means wise, seen it all, done it all, know it all and really ready to die but content with sticking around as long as nature will allow just out of nosiness and feeling as if the world needs a few old wise folks to keep it going. |

| Over-sensitivity, but no harm done if all you said was sorry that's loud. They'll just shrug that off and do it again tomorrow. If you want results, it's going to take some anger. I've scared people when I can't take it anymore. Wasn't my intent and I felt bad at first, but the long term effects hav... |

| There is no perfect day anymore. Dark winter days are somehow less stressful I suppose, but the cold is awful. Summertime heat is nice, but the brightness of length of the days is just overwhelming. If I had to pick my poison, I'd probably pick summer. It's easier to try to turn everywhere into a da... |

| Dark and dingy. Most importantly, dark. Light is a killer for me, especially sunlight. That's why I put up a whole bunch of curtains. Still on weekends and days off, I see that the sun is out as it still comes through a little bit. After the last trace of daylight is gone, it seems as if a huge burd... |

| Nobody likes arrogance. Everyone else is worried all the time. They are on edge, living in an alarmist society. Misery loves company. How dare you go on with your acceptance while everyone else continues to question themselves. |

I do whatever it takes to get things accomplished, work tasks and things like that, but beyond that I don't make much o... |

Thankfully after discovering what this curse is, it has helped me realize this and come up with more ways to deal with it. Sunglasses ar... |

One of those can't win situations.
Feel lonely sometimes, but after finally getting to socialize for a little bit it's a great relief to retreat back into solitude. |

| For some reason, I always defer to my elders. It's working out OK now as I just take it quietly then go stew about it when they can't see me. But when I get older. If I'm ever older than people doing this, it's not going to work. To me, age is the rank. This is why I have so far declined any kind of... |
