Loners
Related: About this forumBrand new here.
Not sure if I fit in.
Sometimes I "force" myself to be with people because it's good for me. Other times, I'm truly gregarious. And hilarious. At least to me. After a few drinks.
I live with only my husband of 39 years and our various animals, out in the country. We have one grown daughter - born after 13 years of marriage. It was an intentional decision. She is our crown jewel.

(1,846 posts)I married a cruel narcissistic woman.
I am largely estranged from 3 daughters who learned how to treat men from their mother.
I have a son who I am exceptionally close with.
Without disclosing much else I have learned in my life that putting too much trust in others can really hurt you.
Taking control over your ecosystem for a while is not the worst thing in the world.
Just my opinion.

If you haven't already done it you might have fun taking the test.

It's good to know that even we happily married people can consider ourselves loners.

(68,722 posts)I like being here.
In school, I was unpopular even with the other unpopular kids. So it's nice to have a sanctum sanctorum...
