Because you're a social animal who needs human contact and compassion to thrive. As disagreeable as that may sound it's a big part of staying healthy. I get that it's hard though.

Strange. When I needed social contact and the same humanity afforded murderers in jail, all I got was "you're weird, go away". So I did. Now don't complain if I'm far away.

If I'm such a social animal, where were these people when I was young? Where was the compassion? Nowhere.

Ah but the moment I was useful to fix someone's problems, all of a sudden everyone remembers my name and my phone number.

I get that you've given up. I'm just saying you're worse off for it. I'm sorry you've had such terrible experiences.
