Does Not Play Well With Others

Talk about first impressions… there weren’t a lot of children in my neighborhood when I was young, just a couple of contemporaries and I probably didn’t really know them until I’d started school… so I really wasn’t prepared when I had to mingle with a couple dozen strangers, and I was surprised that none of them really thought like me. I have been suspicious of crowds ever since—probably suspicious of everyone ever since. It takes a while for me to let my shield down.
