Made you a better person now? There are some people who used to be outcasts when they were younger, whether it was in elementary, jr. high, or high school. But in the future that's helped them in succeeding, and wanting to be more ambitious. Are you one of them, how has it affected you? Good or bad?

While I was a loner, I was never really an outcast. I had a few close friends, but I tended to prefer being alone. I have seen no evidence that being a loner would make the person more ambitious. They might be more ambitious because their condition is worse than others, but that would imply that they need to actively try to make their situation better (i.e., make friends with others).

I was the youngest in my family for 13 years. My siblings were very close. My sister and brother protected me and included me in all of their activities. My sister's friends became my friends. I had some friends of my own, but the best friends were because of my sister. through high school I always hung out with my sister and her friends. When my sister graduated and her friends went with her, I was a little lonely for a while. I soon became closer to some of the friends I had but nothing like the friendships I shared with my sister's friends. After that I started making friends of my own very easily, and since then through all of my working years I have never had a problem making friends. I think that made me a better person now. My husband always say that my personality is my best asset.
