Life purpose part 2

So now I begin to answer the questions from part 1. Part of the reason I realized that I am introverted is the way I grew up. I was part of a military family so I moved around quite a bit. I learned to create friendships quickly and learn to end them without too much attachment.

So superficially I was an extrovert, because I made friends so quickly, but I never maintained long term relationships.

When I was 13 life changed for me pretty drastically. My mother had nurtured a relationship with a women and had told me that she was gay. This while she was still married to my father. Because of the time being gay was a big deal. Though I accepted that relationship, I couldn't let my school friends too close because I feared what would happen if they learned of my unique situation.

So in short I have always kept people at a distance and always maintained very superficial relationships. Now living in Texas as a "liberal" makes it hard to make new friends here. I used quotations because I don't really lable myself that way. I just oppose hate in all it's forms.

Here I am now wanting to change and make newer deeper relationships and wanting to do something to contribute to bettering myself and others. Now just have to decide where to start.
