I feel like I am a fiend that has no home, all I would do is trying to suck out any spare time my friends have~ I wouldn’t know if they actually like me being around~ maybe they were just being polite when they said sure, let’s hang~ How would I know if I am actually being appreciated?

If I am I wouldn’t mind at all, but I don’t think I am that good with it, I might be obsessed with it, but I am certainly …
