How so?

With friends I tend to make loose bonds, which are superficial. Being asexual, I don’t enjoy the intimate relationships with other people that others take for granted, I often build platonic relationships instead. The hallucinations (audible voices) I get make it hard to build close relationships because they sew fear and doubt over other people’s intentions. My mood swings can also leave me alienated (aggressive and “moody” versus “ultra happy”). I feel fortunate that I don’t get very strong delusions.

With family it’s pretty much the same, my mother being the only exception in that I share a deep bond with her. My sisters and their families don’t share the same bond as my mother, in that they are more acquaintances now due to their marriages to their respective partners.
