[Gallagher]

I'm very good and comfortable in relationships, so long as my partner is respectful with my... quirks. I haven't had much luck with that in the past, men of similar age as myself still far too immature for it, but my current partner feels very right. Even his faults are in areas that I'm very good at managing and helping with.

Unfortunately, I'm not the most romantic. Even when I was young (save for my first relationship, which ended... badly) I was well aware that if/when things would end with someone, I would continue on just fine. Granted, that first may have been traumatic enough to give me that 'life goes on' bit of wisdom ahead of my time.

As for friends, I prefer those closest to me to be few in number. I'm easily overwhelmed by numbers and need to recharge myself often. I have days where the only thing I want from anyone is to know they'll reply if I message them. No active conversation needed, even with that one person.

I'm fairly sure that my introversion has been exaggerated because of my history.
