I've come to the conclusion that being my age, $$, and the need to make new friends is highly overrated. I am set in my ways and have so many things about me that I'm not willing to compromise on. I like being at home; I never have been one to visit people in theirs, immediate family exempt. I figure if I'm going to sit in someones house and talk I can do that at home, in my bed and on the phone. I really don't like people outside of family. I have a limited tolerance for ignorance or what others may call...stupid people. I don't want to have to consider other peoples feelings. I hate when others try to impose their feelings and beliefs on me. My life is very much drama free. Also, as you may have picked-up on during this post, 'I' use 'I' quite a bit because 'I' am so into myself that 'I' will not be open to an 'Us'. It's all about me! 
    
     Now, 'I' do have a life. A fabulous life. 'I' gave birth to three fabulous and intelligent children, one deceased. My two surviving adults are very successful and I also have two gifted teenage grands. They all are my life!! example: I could sit for days in their living rooms, alone with no contact and would be satisfied tremendously. Don't waist your time trying to psycho analyze me. Many professionals have already tried. 

My_Ran_Dumb_Thought:  Be okay with who you are. Don't compromise who you are for anyone. When you are comfortable being...BE YOU!! Including the you that prefers to be alone most of the time. The amount of friends we have does not define us. I've gone through some tragic moments in my life and it has never failed. The ones you expect to be there for you are never the ones in your corner.
