2. Partially it's socio-environmental

I grew up with extremely few people around me, and since then have lived only in heavily populated places, so it does not seem natural to be being around so many people, but I'm used to it. 1 out of 10 people are bound to be doing something wrong, but they get all the attention. It's hard not to notice people scurrying, it's like being in a swarm of rats. The behavior is very similar. It's just impossible for me to ignore that.

As far as what I want, I've been homeless before, so all I want is a roof over my head. I had to work and beg my way off the streets, for water and food, where people literally ignored me when I was laying there. Whenever I let me guard down, I got thrown aside like I was nothing. I do not work out of choice, I'm like an indentured servant who will get severely punished if I ever start to relax. That's just me, though, I guess other people have a social support network.
