 @ConscientiousPoster I wish I had a person to emotionally/spiritually snuggle. I worry I come off as too flagrantly selfish and machiavellian but it’s a survival strategy and it works. At a point though, you are surrounded by gold and no one to share it with. 
 There's a lot of cultural disconnect from me and other people, I'm not sure if it's this is a common thing although I suspect it is, and that sort of connection probably can't come without a strong common ground. Always felt like trying to pick apart other people and find commonality in metaphors to me, so there's no feeling of snuggling or resting
