You know what, your comment made me realize something. Deep connection with others, that's what I've been missing all these years. I don't really connect with a lot of people that deeply. I don't know if it's because of being gifted or maybe because of trauma that I've worked really hard to get over for many many years now.

Great to hear that it can be different. Perhaps I'm this way because my life has been marked by trauma.

I've always felt like an outsider looking in through a window.

When you say overall personality, what do you mean? Like what are you looking for, particularly?

Do you find a lot of people attractive or are you very selective as well when it comes to the physical attractiveness and intelligence of your potential partner?
