I struggle to answer this question as what is a friend? Someone you can chat to and go to the cinema with? That is what I call a friend, but many say that is just an acquaintance. I don't like people getting closer it makes me uncomfortable.
I should add though that I do feel lonely sometimes. |

| The way you describe them all they sound like very unpleasant people, is there anything good about them? Have you ever had any fun times with them? Maybe you need to write them down too and if there aren't any then it is not worth it! |

I have suffered through 2 years of junior rotations and am desperate to move up so that I can go part time and get more of the 'me' space I desperately need, as a junior part-time is not an option.
