The ONE time I decide to reach out and make contact with humans is tonight - New Year's Eve - with an old friend - one I've known since primary school - my only friend - someone I've known since I was 7 years old.
MY ONLY FRIEND
And as it turns out, all he wanted to do was to use my place as a place to get pissed and to use the Internet to watch porn to w*k off.
NOW, as many of you may or may not know about me is that I am asexual and this pissed me off to no end!
I think even if I were hetero, bi or gay, that would piss someone off. Having someone use your place under the pretense that they were coming over your place for your company just to use it as their own personal brothel.
I have the same thing with a "friend" who has epilepsy and I feel has brain damage from a seizure and is using me for my archery range.
I'm starting to feel used by all humans and feel that I have no friends - not that I ever wanted or needed them.
I'm an introvert. Always have been. Always been comfortable being one and never needed anyone, but humans have always insisted you need friends- I'm starting to see I was always right - alright on my own.
I've read many books lately regarding introvercy by Sophie Dembling, Anneli Rufus & Laurie Helgoe (all women - does that say something?) and they all sound like they've latched on to a money making topic. Most of the time, they don't even sound like introverts - but who can argue with what someone chooses to identify themselves with! To me, writing about my introvercy would be like writing about the fact that I've got brown hair. 'But I diverse, like I usually do.'
I've never seen being alone as something to write 'home' about. Perhaps I should have. Perhaps I could have cashed in on the cash cow of introvercy myself. Perhaps I'll cash in on feeling like an alien and make millions writing about feeling different from other people and sell and make millions about all of those who have always fealt different from others and who have always felt like aliens amongst their own.
