| Cultivating and maintaining friendships is very difficult for me, mostly, I guess, due to my low tolerance for human foibles, faults and frailties. To me, most people including myself seem petty and foolish most of the time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| My dim view of human nature is itself, undoubtedly, my own greatest fault. I greatly admire people like my wife who are very friendly and outgoing, and able to maintain close friendships. It seems I am constrained by my own nature not to be one of them. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
