I made this comment in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gremliness's journal just now, but the more I look at it, the more I think it needs its own entry here. (Partly I just like the use of tupperware as a verb.)
Interesting... it's been something I've known for some time, and that I just had been particularly thinking about tonight (for other reasons), that I need to have this tribe thing to feel connected and satisfied. I am not a highly social critter; I like to have lots of private time and generally be alone except for those times which I designate - but I like to have a group of like-me's that I see on a fairly regular basis (weekly, or bi-weekly at a minimum). I currently have no such tribe, thus I feel adrift and lonely. I tend to get concentrated doses at things liketyrsalvia's parties, but I've not yet found a way to tupperware this and save it for later, and in any case I never see any of those folks outside of the party context, so it doesn't really count. Ever since graduating from high school, the last time I was in such a tribe (although having come from a different junior high school than the others, I still felt like a latecoming outsider, trying to barge in on an existing structure and get accepted), I've found it harder and harder to even find the seeds of such, much less have a full working tribe that I belong to. And now it seems that the tribe I was hoping to head to, the vortex of kin in the Toronto - Kitchener - Waterloo - southern Ontario general area, isn't going to be such either, for various of their interpersonal reasons.
It all just sucks and I don't know what to do. Feh.
