I feel like an outlier on the statistical curve of normalcy.

Um absolutely yes! I think often to myself, I really hope I have no decision over whether humanity is worth saving because I am leaning towards ... naaaaaaahhhhh not really

At this point of quarantine I feel like I have more in common with trees and this coyote that's been stalking my house for my chihuahua

Also, YAY new song discovery!! ! Thank you my friend!

Same, me too. Although I never technically "quarantined", because my work stayed open and I can't work from home.

In general I just want people to leave me alone.

But then I get lonely when they do.

Redd... GREAT POST! Honest and deep but not too many words! Lincoln apologized for his Gettysburg address by saying, " I apologize for for its length ( it was actually very short ) if I had more time it would have been shorter!

Yes, me too. But the older I get, the less lonely I get when I'm alone, it seems.

Same. For me I feel like it's because there are just too many associations between being around people and that being a range of either awkward/uncomfortable to downright painful that after enough of that my subconscious and conscious mind are working together to steer me towards peaceful solitude.
