>>42534527I've met people like you before OP (people that tend to see others as slabs of meat/collections of cells and have a difficult time connecting with anyone) and most all of them end up cynical, lonely dregs that are utterly intolerable to be around.
The fact that you recognize that aspect of yourself, dislike it, and are working to change it speaks volumes, in my mind. I don't want to seem mawkish though, so I'll shut up now; have a pic of my very first buddy in GO, OP
