I'm so very tired of humans trying to insist that all I need to cure my depression is more social interaction/friendships, and insisting that my close bonds with my family don't count (I don't even bother mentioning my online social interaction, because I know they'll say that doesn't count, either. It counts plenty to me, though.). "But humans are social creatures!" Yes, and that's one of the reasons I seriously believe I'm not human - because I'm perfectly content going without even the social interaction I do get, and seem to be lacking that urge/need. But no matter how many times I tell those few people who know I have the soul of a dragon, they insist that I still must need social interaction.
