Need

I need. I just do. I need interaction with friends, chats with parents, and hugs from my significant other. These things are like air, food and shelter. 

They all occupy the bottom row of Maslow's pyramid. Without these connections, I shrivel up on the inside. I am no good alone.

Unless I am on a train with a lot of rude, sniveling knuckle-draggers who wear too much perfume, don't cover their coughs, and lack any manners. In that case, just leave me alone.

My cat is more couth and he pukes on my carpet and doesn't pay rent.
