Swelltide.

I need friends.

I am curious to know if others, being bipolar, have a difficult time forming connections with other people.

I do not have patience for small talk and I no longer identify myself by what I like. Superficiality has become something of a turn off for me when I meet strangers. Those people I considered friends who defined themselves by music, fashion-- I now find shallow.

Sigh. Really, I would just like to get someone on the phone for a while. Or go out for a few beers. Have a talk about ideas instead of things. I miss it.
