Am I Normal?
Most of my life I have been a recluse. I choose not to go out and socialise, not because I don't want to but because I'd rather stay in and do my own thing.

Re: "Then one day I just decided.....
Good advice. I used to go out all the time worrying that people would look at me. I have a lazy eye which people would notice. It took me a long time to realize that nobody cared. People are more...

Re: Looking too young
