10. I don't know that I'd want to be a Vulcan...

I prize my emotional experiences of things like movies, books, and the arts too much to not want those experiences. I enjoy socializing too, though I find some aspects difficult. I just wish I could rewind the clock and add back in the 15 years or so of social experiences I'm missing from my life. It's difficult to explain what it's like being 30+ and never having stepped away from your parents for more than a week, never been out to a party with friends, never danced, never held hands with a girl, never kissed, never had very close friends, never taken chances, never stepped out of my comfort zone emotionally, etc... I'm exaggerating the importance of some of these things certainly but they definitely add up to something important. Again I don't want to be a Vulcan, I just want to be less of a raw nerve.
