Same here. I can go for weeks without interacting with another person, except maybe a cashier, and not even notice. A normal week, I spend most days alone at home, working on various projects. I'm a loner by nature.
When I was still living at home with my parents and sisters, one of my sisters had an oversize black Afghan hound (39" at the withers; 36" is the standard). Anyway, he developed some temperament problems. One day I was out walking him, and the lead came unhooked from his collar. So I went to him and reached for his collar to reattach the lead. He lunged at me and proceeded to attack me. I ran a couple of blocks back to my house with him pursuing me and biting at my arm all the way. Since then I've been uncomfortable around large dogs, or indeed any large animal like a horse. It's a shame, really, because I love large dogs, particularly borzois and Scottish deerhounds, and am an accomplished horse rider. I haven't tried to ride since that time, and I'd probably manage, but it wouldn't be the same. I'm really scared any time I go to nuzzle a large dog now, or even a medium one. (My sister has two Portugeuse Water Dogs, one of whom adores me, so I nuzzle with her when I come over; it's not as frightening because we're familiar, but it's still not without fear.)
When I was in high school, I had fifteen aquariums with tropical fish in my bedroom. I haven't had an aquarium since my college days, though I kept a 30 gallon, in storage, up until this past year when I threw it out. My family is celebrating Christmas late on the 12th of January, and I've asked for a 55 gallon aquarium as the main thing that I want.

1) I'm 37, but i'm seen by others as being a lot older in character (my best and only friend apart from my wife is 66)
2) My wife who I met at 17, 20 years ago, was my first girlfriend, sexual partner, kiss, the whole shebang.
3) I've traced my family tree back to the late 1600's and all but 2 from 500+ ancestors lived their whole lives within 20 miles of my current residence.
4) I am the chairman of the Central Lancashire Amateur Stargazing Society.
5) I have an ectopic arrhythmia in my heart (harmless but uncomfortable at times).

A ginger? I can't believe you just outed yourself.
I'm not sure if it's the Proactiv or genetics, but my beard has quite a few red hairs in it.
Also, For the past couple months, until about a week ago, I had severe, non-stop heartburn with no apparent cause (even after an endoscopy and biopsy). Then, I picked up a stomach and respiratory bug and, strangely, now that I've recovered from that bug, I no longer have heartburn.

I have webbed toes, or syndactyly affecting the feet and they look almost like this, but hairier (some people may find this a bit disturbing):

Why not do this?
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Nah, as small one like that could hurt like hell and still you would have only endured for 15 minutes tops. Totally worth it

15 minutes of torture... for what? a drawing? I'd prefer to use ink over the skin when I do show it off... which is rare.
