I grew up homeschooled. I spent the first 18 years of my life basically locked in a house. I didn’t really have friends. I only got to see people around my age (aside from my siblings) a handful of times a year.

Good fucking lord, has that been a social pit to climb out of. I still don’t know how to make friends.

Weirdly enough, I’ve never had much trouble dating. But goddamn, platonic relationships are so fucking elusive.
