It made me avoid everything.

I mean, ya know, it made me avoid my family,

it made me avoid people,

it made me avoid functions with my family.

I was just a hermit.

I was better off by myself,

being that way, than I was with other people.

I wouldn't know, if a car backfired,

if I wouldn't hit the ground.

And then people, they look at you

as if you were goofy,

or they didn't understand it.
