I Am Lonely

Has anyone ever felt socially isolated...? My background is quite... Different, putting the story mildly. I was kept away from other people, forcibly of course. I wasn't allowed to make friends, hang out with anyone (including relatives such as cousins), and if I did... The consequences would be horrifying, at least in my mind. I grew up on a tight leash, as some might call it. I'm seventeen now and, to summarize, I have no friends (literally), no one to talk to (as I don't want to be yelled or screamed at), and no drivers license because I "don't need to drive," so [i]they[/i] put it...
