| I live in the U.S. Does anyone have any idea which states or cities have the most resources for people like us? I live in Missouri, and want to move to the desert (likely Arizona) in a couple years. |

| If a person can't bond with other people (for a myriad of reasons), what are the odds he can bond with a dog well enough for the dog to protect him from shady people? |

That is a good idea. I'll probably end up needing a car eventually, though. |

| What kind of meet ups are we talking about? Shady characters? I mean hell there are groups that just meet up to watch TV shows like Doctor Who etc, you might have to pitch in food wise, crowd is likely to be nerdy/geeky which is easier to engage than something like football parties. No luck outside... |

| P.S. I have started wondering if it is better to die in a car accident after improving my life (or trying to, anyway) than of old age after a lifetime of no human interaction. |

| In much of the USA a car is requirement to be a "real" adult, Europeans will never understand. Without that car and lacking any public transport you're basically an invalid. I don't agree with this but it is true. B&O do you have any hobbies or interests that don't require a big up front cost? ... |

| I live in the middle of downtown Springfield, MO. I've been trying to think of different ways to meet people. I have an account on meetup.com. My problem is that most social opportunities aren't just about socializing, they're more about some sort of hobby, event, or something like that. Additionall... |

| I mean like a dually pickup, 3500hd, all-terrain pickups, things like that. However, I have just learned that R.V.'s are probably better for what I want. I wanted a truck on steroids thinking it was safer than other cars as far as other drivers around me not having basic driving skills, and an all-t... |

| I am currently taking four classes, and a fifth one will start on the twelfth. The fifth will be a semester's worth of work in half the time, on top of my four other classes. Without all these classes, I am less than full time. While I've always been full time, I've never put a lot of effort into ac... |

| Okay, OP, I've read two of your threads. You aren't just paranoid. You're insane. You're EXTREMELY rude to people who are trying to help you and answer your questions, and you're incredibly non-receptive of damn good advice. If anyone here is a "moronic twat," it's you. The fact that you're willing... |

| I don't know how old you are, but when I was there, St.L wasn't bad. You didn't want to be down on the riverfront late at night, but otherwise it was pretty tame. I moved when I was not quite seventeen, though, so things could have changed since then. I moved to Springfield on August twentieth, two... |
