No, it isn’t true!
But it does feel like that some days.
I can’t believe some one as accomplished as you are
does not have friends!
In reality, for me, it isn’t true. Yet, apparently, I must have an abrasive, in-person, personality. It has been extremely difficult for me to have and keep close friends.
My mother and my dad’s mother both seem to have had the same problem. After Grandma’s death, I received much of her stuff. I happened upon a notebook where there are very few entries. One entry quotes Anne Morrow Lindbergh about being alone and misunderstood. After it, Grandma writes that feels that way, too. Very poignant.
