Quote preview background for Charles Bukowski
I dislike interaction. The less I say the better I feel. I was naturally a loner. I didn__ want conversation, or to goanywhere. I didn__ understand other people who wanted to share their emotions. Parties sickened me. I was drawn to all the wrong things: I was lazy, I didn__ have a god, politics, ideas, ideals. I was settled into nothingness; a kind of non-being, and I accepted it. I didn__ make for an interesting person. I didn__ want to be interesting, it was too hard. What I really wanted was only a soft, hazy space to live in, and to be left alone. Relationships never worked with me. I alwayslost interest. I simply disliked people, crowds, anywhere, except at my readings.
