A Half Start

Here's a story which ought to be true, taken from a party which may have happened. The question was posed:

"Why am I having such trouble navigating this conversation with you?"
"Because we just don't understand each other."
"Do you know someone who tries too hard to find those dear friendships?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah. I do too."
"Staying inside isn't so bad, is it?"
"No, not at all. Just don't mistake that feeling for loneliness."
