Just to confirm, I didn't mean to sound so negative when I said that finding people who "get you" are very hard to find. For me they are. But I understand that everyone's emotional/intellectual/spiritual needs are different and therefore some people will find they can connect with lots of people, others not so many.

I am proud of being a unique person with unique interests and hobbies. Because I am so unique, I find it very difficult to meet and connect with people like me. Some people I may have a few things in common with, but if there's no emotional connection, it will never work. In my 24 years, I have only met 4 people that I have connected with on a deep emotional level. 3 of those people are my best best friends. And interest-wise we have little in common, but you can't deny that we just click in so many other "deeper" ways. That is why we are great friends. The fourth person is my boyfriend. I feel so blessed to have been given a man who not only shares so many of my interests and hobbies, but he totally "gets me" in every way possible. He has exactly the same problem as me when it comes to connecting with people on a deeper level because he's so unique as well.

Seo1, you must not give up hope that there are people like you out there. Just always be yourself, be honest, and be open to everyone. Look for people in places you have never thought to look in before, you may be surprised.
