[QUOTE="Tenebrae, post: 121077, member: 5970"] Here's another thing that bugs me. It doesn't really have anything to do with being a loner, but a lot of the time, my parents, brothers and sisters, and friends tell me that I should "broaden my horizons". First of all, I think I have quite broad horizons, but everyone I know seems to think i'm very.... "narrow-minded", I guess is the term. And secondly, here is another example of how it is who I am, and I don't want to change that. For example, as many of you know, I'm writing a book, and it is a futuristic fantasy type story (kinda like Final Fantasy, but.... a lot different). My parents keep telling me that I should write about more than fantasy. Plus, they seem to think that my whole life is centered on fantasy, and that I can't really distinguish between what's real and what's not. But that is very far from the truth. I have big plans for the future that don't involve my little "Fantasy" world, but I don't have all the resources to work towards those plans. And also, every author has their certain areas of expertise. Look at J.R. Tolkien. As far as I know, he never wrote a realistic book, yet he is one of the best authors i've ever heard of. The only things I'm really good at writing are fantasy stories. I've tried realistic ones and it didn't work out. Anyway, I think you guys get my point. Just like my friend always telling me to socialize more, why should I "broaden my horizons" if I quite enjoy my horizons the way they are? I think I'm getting a little hysterical here.... :/ [/QUOTE]
