There needs to be a way to write D: in all caps and bold and really really big so I can express my sadness for you. Don't be unhappy, Rai... I can guarantee you that that's not how it is. (This is a lame argument to use in response to your worries about friends BUT) studies have shown that people actually become friends not with people who share the same interests or personality types or thoughts on subjects but with people who they spend a lot of time with, SO I think the most ginormungous factor in your feeling alone-ness is probably that you just don't have the _time_ to actually spend with people in order to develop really close friendships on account of how you're always _swamped_ with _so much work_. And you _shouldn't_ see that as a reflection on yourself because you're a wonderful person and people can see that, it's just hard to see them seeing it because that's how life is. And don't be sad, please. D: We still love you here.
