This time of year is meant to be filled with joy and family get-togethers, but not everyone has family or anything to be happy about. So are you ok?

I don't have a great relationship with my family, so it makes it even harder around christmas times. I'm a paranoid introvert in need of friends, and trust is hard to come by, so stress builds up until I freak out because I have no one to share any ideas or life stories with. No one to keep me level headed and make sure I'm okay, and no one for me to care about. Still looking for that one good friend to come along...
