Although I’m looking forward to camping and seeing family this summer I hope the hubbub doesn’t get to me, and there’s a good chance that at some point it will. The activity and noise will wear on me and I’ll likely withdraw somewhat and retreat to my safe place. I’m a very private person, some …
Every so often I have a moment, an period in time, where all around me is surreal, and no it’s not drugs. Some highly spiced food perhaps but no drugs. I just don’t seem to connect with many people and find some of the conversations uninteresting and the topics mundane. Now don’t get me wrong, …

Great site (http://giftedforlife.com/) for meeting others of like mind.
