I don't have many friends; I'm very much a loner. As a child I was very isolated, and I've never been really close to anyone.
I have not a desire but a need for solitude.
I don't socialise. My social life is minus zero.
I do not like attention. Oddly enough, I do everything I can to avoid it.
I'm a bit of a loner, you know? I'm more quiet by nature. And coming from, you know, hillbilly country, I'm probably more reserved.
Nothing personal; I just don't have people over.
I'm a very private, very reclusive kind of guy.

I was a very isolated teenager.
I don't really go out a lot.
You spend your whole life trying to get known and then you spend the rest of it hiding in the toilet.
Part of what was in the ether all around me growing up, until I was between 19 and 20, was a terrible, debilitating stutter. It was part of what made me very reclusive as a kid.
People have all sorts of expectations which you can't meet. Me, I'm so reclusive I stay away from such things as much as I can. I never go anywhere.
