Social (slightly ranty)

General
So my parents keep telling me I need to be more social, like other than getting up, going to work, heading home, watch tv, go to bed. It's been two years of that and to be honest I think they have a point. Talking with people online's great, but it doesn't really substitute for enjoying people's company in person. I love all of my online friends and some day I hope to meet you all in person. But right now, I need some kind of interaction. At least someone who could help pay for an apartment, living at home is getting dicey. The main issue is me.
Let me explain: Usually people are pretty trusting of others. It's in human nature to be, it's a vital evolutionary trait. Mine seems to be broken though since grade school due to circumstances I had no control over; everyone who ever became my 'friend' turned out to either just want to take advantage of me or moved away soon after meeting me. (Thanks for nothing, Catholic school) High school I had better luck for a few years, but now I only really stay in contact with a few people from that group. College...well I definitely was socially active thanks to my roommates. But after that...nothing. No exciting weekends, no going out, no game nights. Nothing. I was obsessed with getting a job, thinking it would solve all of my problems. Yeah, not so much.
So now I'm again at a crossroads. I want to meet furs in real life for sure, but I also want other groups of friends for my other interests as well. I'm tired of being alone, tired of being angry, tired of being scared what others think of me and I'm tired of saying 'oh I just need to wait'. Screw waiting, I'm acting while I still can.
Phew! Ok just needed to vent that. I try not to do that as often, but I needed to say it nonetheless. Sorry about that. X3 So, to end on a positive note, thanks to everyone who's stuck with me through the years. You guys are awesome and I wish to meet you in person one day if I can. That is all, I'm off to do wolf things. :3
