Double-sided tape

Sometimes I wonder. Am I intimidating... offputting... or some mixture of the two? All my life I've prided myself in being a confident individualist. Never conforming to the masses and always happy to do my own thing. I've always kept a small group of friends that change with the seasons (typical Gemini), but i always figured that was because i was fencing everyone else out... but what if I'm the one being fenced out. This has never really occurred to me until now.

I've always felt like the "content loner". Like it was my call... but is it really?

I have a question - how can you be a confident individualist and then say a typical Gemini?

You’re either one or the other right?

@Morvoren A confident individualist in my conscious decisions and opinions. ... and if you're confused about me having a shared opinion with others, individualists can agree with others. We are not adversarial for the sake of being adversarial. It is called individualist because people of this nature are not afraid to disagree or go against the grain when they feel it is right.

Typical Gemini - It was a humorous addition. I don't take astrology to heart. Gemini are described as mercurial, superficial people that are easily bored and tend to have rotating friends, which may not be a conscious decision, but a consequence of their personality type.

@wtfgirl001 I’m so glad I asked.

It is your call and if it does result in you being fenced off (probably does to some degree) as intimidating or off putting, it's your choice.

I am like that too. I don't even try to understand what's going on in others mind. It doesn't seem like a worthwhile endeavour to me...

It's one of those things that suits us until it doesn't. As we age it seems that making friends gets harder, so having rotating friends as the seasons change tends to cause that group to get smaller and smaller until it becomes difficult to have even one or two. And it usually isn't until that point that we realize we've never really been loners. Our need for others was less and allowed us to keep more space between people, but still needed them there.

@ViciDraco I feel this. Perhaps it has been a need all along.
