“We cannot live alone. As much as it pains us to be together, we can’t be alone.”

I admit that I lack the necessary social and interpersonal skills to be considered endearing, nor the appropriate rapport requisite for amiableness, nor the levity to be deemed approachable. I concede that most of the competencies detrimental to being a sociable and socially-effective human being, I do not possess, and these are the specifics one cannot feign. To approximately place it, I have a societal retardation akin to a fish on dry land. The things that I do possess, or have an acceptable grasp of – logic, information, language, have little bearing on the dynamics of relating to other human beings.
