I&#x27;m much the same, and came from a similar background; I didn&#x27;t move nearly as widely as you did, but certainly did have frequent moves.<p>Seeing this described is inspiring me to try to develop normal social interactions -- or perhaps it isn&#x27;t. Having actual friends, who agree with your goals and will support you in pursuing them, who you don&#x27;t have to put on a false face before, is one thing; having long-term acquaintances who disagree with you and hold you back is something else. If you&#x27;re comfortable alone, you won&#x27;t tolerate unhealthy interactions as being better than none at all...
