After several days of introspection inspired by this thread, I've discovered that my personal dissatisfaction with Sci-Fi as a whole is that it tries to keep its feet mired up to the knees in a present reality while reaching for the limitless possibilities that are immediately accessible through fantasy.
Which made me realize what my major trip up was in opening up to other people. I'm not the type of being who sees any necessity in existing in only one reality. I can jump from one to another no problem. Why build a bridge when instantaneous transport is available?
Well, now. I have to admit that the reason I've had trouble relating to others is that I don't allow for bridges between their reality and mine.
I'll still love fantasy best for loving it first, but now when I go to the Sci-Fi I've got, and the Sci-Fi I'm going to get, I'll try to see it for what it's intended... A bridge between one reality and another.
Thanks guys.
