When misguided public opinion honors what is despicable and despises what is honorable, punishes virtue and rewards vice, encourages what is harmful and discourages what is useful, applauds falsehood and smothers truth under indifference or insult, a nation turns its back on progress and can be restored only by the terrible lessons of catastrophe. – Frederic Bastiat
I was better at making friends... I'm so anti social and just not able to let things slide. Often there are these long awkward silences and make other feel ill at ease around me. I've suffered from social anxiety disorder my whole life, not knowing what it was... when I was a kid they just called you shy... "Oh he's just shy." Anyway there have been a ton of folks I just drifted away from because I'm to closed off to talk with them every day, or even once in a while. I always feel like I'm bothering folks, like maybe their somehow happier just not hearing from me. Anyway just thought I'd put that out there...

Yeah, this kind of stuff sucks, I can empathize. But rest assured, while life sometimes is distracted, and gets in the way, and blocks all out best intentions, your friends ALWAYS want are happier when they can hear from you.
