I Have Misanthropic Tendencies

My family and my handful of friends, most of whom I keep at arms length, is more than enough for me. I have no interest in making new friends. But it seems like a lot of people get jobs really easily or discounted prices or meet celebrities from having friends.

MY MOM:"That's why it's important to meet new people. When you get to know them, they'll invite you places and tell you all kinds of things that other people might not know, offer free tickets to shows..."
ME: "So...it's important to make friends so you can use them?"

Lesson learned.

Unfortunately, I don't have the energy to pretend to like people and I'm not even at the level of feeling comfortable enough to ask someone where the nearest bathroom is, so that's not happening.

I wonder what a coma is like...
