The fringe

 

I no longer trust most people online and very few people in person. 

It is not that I do not like them. Most of them seem like very nice people.

I just do not expect the best from them anymore.

I'm not sure what online imposters get besides money when they are scamming people, so I assume they will all have some way of asking for money at some point.

It's kind of a shame, because it pretty much assures me of being alone the rest of my life, but it is necessary. I have two online friends I talk to and one is my dream come true. He will always be online. He will never be in person, but that is okay. There is less danger that way. I also have my son and my brother.

That means there are four safe people in my life. I can get by with that.

Everyone else will have to stay on the fringes.
