i’ve never grown out of feeling alienated and isolated in *any* social situation. i used to think it was just something teenagers go through, and i’d ’settle in’ when i was older. then i thought it had to do with my friends, or my family, or my lover(s), or the social scene i was in. bigger events? smaller events? outdoor? indoor? people i know? people i don’t know? nope, it’s just me. i am jealous of anyone for whom that feeling is a vacation from the norm i’ve tried to accept it as part of who i am, but sometimes it’s very frustrating. intellectually, i see the greater picture of humanity.. but emotionally, i’ve a hard time feeling like i’m part of anything bigger than myself… even when i’m surrounded by thousands or millions.

As a fellow writer, I welcome you into the zone. Being 33 and having gone through this metamorphosis recently myself, I relate to your experience on many levels. Ill let you in on what I spent many dollars of therapy to discover for myself… This feeling means that you are finally feeling at peace and at home with yourself and who you are. Alone time is good time. Revel in it and introduce yourself to… yourself. I think that you will like the person you meet.
