She must have a social circle of some sort too, or married to an entertaining husband. I'm always curious to learn about the types of people that you'd barely see in public. Like the ones who live all the way out in the deep boonies, who maybe take a trip to the grocery store only because they have to.
I wonder how many of the older generation spends most of their time still knitting and doing crossword puzzles. I'm sure she loves to cook too.
I read years ago that a large percentage of people will die within 50 miles from where they were born. The world is so vast but people get comfortable and stay close to familiar people.
Picture a cheetah roaming around freely through 1000s of miles of untapped wilderness. Now picture a leash, that he ties around a tree and straps around his neck. That's most people, and I can't honestly figure out if it's more sad than funny or more funny than sad. Maybe a lot of both?
So basically you are saying you think your way is the right way and anyone who doesn't subscribe to it is a boring fart? I grew up with a bipolar father who moved us every 6 months, I don't even know what schools I went to there are so many of them. We were always the new kids in school and both my brother and I became aggressive to combat the bullying. As an adult I continued in the same vein and didn't settle down until I was in my 40's. I have no childhood friends, no-one with shared experiences except my brother and mother. I don't go out of my way to make friends even now - you become so self sufficient you lose the need to connect with people. I would rather have grown up in a podunk town with real connections to people. It becomes more important as you get older, not less.
Sounds more to me like this "I'd get bored" is a convenient excuse to run away from making connections. But as my father finally realised a few years before he died "Wherever you go, there you are" - eg: running from yourself is pointless and solves nothing.
You didn't get bullied because you were new. I was the new kid plenty of times. You got bullied because you lacked confidence in yourself, which is the fault of your parents.
Ya know, you could leave people to live their own lives...
Ya, I know. Thanks captain.
Successful happy people stay planted. The exuberance of youth has been adopted by middle age Americans and been used as an excuse for failure in life.
Of course there are people like her.
I hope it's because she's got a lot of family there.

Not everyone is Dr. David Banner. I'm not trying to make you angry.
I'm not familiar with who that is.

Sounds like you have some growing up to do.
And it sounds like you have some freedom to explore. I'm sorry you have that awful outlook on life. Sounds miserable.
