imsophie1: Have I changed? Definitely. Whether for the better or not is yet to be determined. I've discovered that 27 years spent in forced isolation leave me ill-equipped to deal with people. I'm honest, open, trusting, and work hard at not causing others pain. I, very wrongly, assumed that such behavior was the norm. I obviously tried to rejoin the land of the living with my eyes wide shut. My eyes have been forced open and I now fight daily to keep from becoming bitter and jaded and non-trusting. I am still a bit surprised at people's treatment of each other at times. I will continue to learn while I'm here and hope for the best in terms of changes within myself.

You have a good heart,you try to see the good in people and give them a chance.Some people are just evil inside,want to hurt others,their unhappy want to make the rest of us unhappy,i distance myself from these people if possible.Its a lesson we usually learn the hard way.I used to think there was good in everybody,not sure i believe that any more.All we can do is try to be the best person we can be,look after our self first.hug wave

jvaski: I've met a few that I still correspond with ....but as for actual dating or hopes for a relationship - internet dating sucks....

Better when one breaks suction from the computer screen and gets out in public ..........

I hate to agree with you,but internet dating is not a bed of roses,due to some people not being truthful and distance.
One should not use internet dating as their only source to meet people.wave

Thank you, DF. I'm a good student. I've learned my lessons well, I hope. I've spent my life looking after others and will most likely continue to do so. I know of no other way to be. I've rarely had the time, energy, or inclination to look after myself. Others' wants and needs always seemed more important to me. I'm not sure I can change that part of me.

I'm a LOT more cynical now, and pretty much resigned to a single life.

It's hard for ex pats in a foreign country as their 'options' are more limited, I guess, but it's still made me doubt the likelihood of finding a match.

If anything, it opens up a world of frustration when you DO find something/someone worth investigating and they're closer to the moon than to you. MOST people are not in a position to do anything about that!


Why am I here again.....? confused

It's made me cynical and sad. I realised that being "different" is recognised worldwide (and that is not a good thing). wine
