What is it about these type of people? does life never move on for them or are they trapped ?.

” and here after all these years I felt guilty not keeping in touch with them “
Thanks for saying that , I don’t feel guilty anymore . But then I’ve always dealt with guilt reasonably well .
in a universe of one only the strong survive
fb morphed into a gubmint funded proj once it was found out the implications for surveillance of ordinary citizens
