different.

I didn't know how to do anything at all. I was horrified by that. I couldn't date anybody, because I was so damaged. I have my background, my history--I could never get through the third date with that. "Tell me about your family. Tell me about your past." You know? It was like a deal-breaker by the third date, because it was just too much for one person to go through and remain sane. So I felt already ruined.  -Augusten Burroughs

The very funny thing about his memoir Running With Scissors was that the first thing I said to myself when I read it was, This person would understand me.  I also thought, what an easy person to love.
