Loney, but okay with it.

There's a lot I don't say about myself to a lot of people. Believe it or not, my goofy exterior (That may or may not come across in a strictly text format) can be called something of a defense. I hold all my friends and some of my family at arms length in terms of my feelings about important things

Foremost, I understand your loneliness in my own way - I don't think anyone can ever hope to grasp what another experiences, though we can relate.

For me, I sought another who was like me for years. Someone who loved intelligent discussion, was open to religion and skeptical that Darwinism is the true source for evolution, and who was liberally minded in terms of sexual identity. Years later I've not quite found anyone like me - I am unique. I suspect that you, too, are unique. Instead of finding others like me, I have found many who are great friends. We aren't identical and sometimes we can grate on one another. The diversity, though, keeps things rich and always evolving. Instead of seeking out those who are similar, perhaps seek out those who have the qualities of a good friend: tolerance, respect, and understanding that there are different ways to perceive the world and life.
