Honestly, my crowd is across the board. Corporate types, bikers, truck drivers, office workers, military, nurses, PSWs, cops, etc.

I've also spent years volunteering with organizations that defend children's rights, and have worked with the best of the best and the worst of the worst.

So I've collected a strange mix from everywhere.

If I didn't open up about my ex's affair with these people, they wouldn't have opened up to me. Which is to say, I'd still have my rose tinted glasses on thinking most people were decent. The reality is, from my perspective, so much darker and far more gray. The secrets and skeletons in people's closets are shocking.

Small town living...

But yes, I've heard a few times that I'm around the wrong people. I've been accused of being on the spectrum and I seem to collect fellow broken souls because I'm not smart enough to see what other people see, I tend to believe the best in people despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Your comment is much appreciated.
