[quote="Irulan"] They were predictable and took care of me, it's everything I expected from them[quote]

The same here, I tended to be with them than the other children my age.

I was always terrified of adults.
They weren't very nice to me, & still aren't to this day.

I always interacted with adults more comfortably than my peers. I felt at ease with them. Most of them accepted me, some took great issue with the fact that I was advanced mentally beyond my years and treated me terrible for it, which was an issue. Mostly though, I didn't start relating to my peers in any way until I approached 30.
