Welcome friend!
It sounds like you have a good natural connection to the world that many people dont have, thats a great start!
The people that you surround yourself with in life is very important, and over time hopefully you will be able to attract the kind of friends that you would like to have around, as they make you feel good, and vice versa.
But sometimes even that can fail, and this place IS amazing and it IS full of good people that will make you feel good.
I love this place.
Welcome and happy travels!
