It's like I prefer sticking with words I am more comfortable with. I am a loner. I think I may have autism instead of Asperger's, plus social anxiety. I definitely have strong feelings. I have never been diagnosed with anything, but I can tell something is there. I do better with people I know, but I still don't like socializing. I do well with writing.
