I think all of those can apply, but sometimes it's just a simple case of what you want being out of your reach. :

One of the good things of not being liked by people is that I can forget to close as many channels of communication as I want and nobody notices I left
It's like when I forget to recharge the phone or something, only my company want to talk to me haha
Not true.. I notice when you aren't around.

No way! Haha, I don't know you obviously but from your posts, you come across as being so likeable. I think a lot of people would notice if you left SPW.
I'm actually feeling pretty great at the moment
eek and I have just applied for a number of volunteering opportunities.I'm trying to be more 'adult'. I've even started drinking coffee, despite hating it, and now I don't find it so bad. Haha. I really want to get some experience in retail, because despite the social anxiety, I sort of have a dream to work in Waterstone's (it's a British books retailer) while I complete my studies. For some reason I have so much drive in wanting to work there.
I don't have a job, and I've basically been doing nothing besides personal projects since finishing college in July, so I've been thinking that what I'd really like to do is get some experience now, so that I can have a real job by February, if not at Waterstone's then another store until a vacancy comes up. It might sound like a step too far but I really want to push myself. I don't want to still be doing nothing this time next year.I guess what I would most like to do is start working by February at the latest, and then start studying Humanities with the Open University. I'm really very frightened of the idea of £27,000+ debts, which is what's happening now to students in England. I'm not interested in the whole 'life experience' side of university, anyway, so it would be far better for me to study with the O.U. while working, avoiding loans and debts where possible, and working the whole time. I'm less anxious when I'm keeping busy, anyway.
I'm just going to go for it and see where it goes.

sounds like you're making progress
lol i started drinking coffee to feel grown up too. I'm 10 years into my romance with coffeei think you have a good plan as far as avoiding debts and loans. Some people spend the entire first half of their career paying for student loans. it's so sad

I don't think any exclusion is intentional or personal on here. Worrying about inner circles and cliques is imposing thoughts on something is based on thoughts, not reality. The time to leave a forum is when you start to worry about your forum interactions as much real life ones.

Not that I don't care about real life interactions, I do, but some people are very important to me in this forum.

Thanks! And I totally get the last thing you posted - everyone here is so nice, and particularly since everyone has social anxiety of some sort, I really want to get to know and get along with people. We're probably more conscious than the users of other forums that these are all real people with feelings behind their usernames and avatars. Thankfully trolls are much rarer here than on the general internet forum.

what if it gets us out of our sphere?
that in itself could be a good thing
and maybe that's what people are really after
rather than the stuff itself

Today in the train I've seen something I didn't like...
The ticket collector came and there was a guy who seemed to be from India or something, and he didn't have a valid ticket. The ticket collector started asking for his documentation and when the guy refused he started yelling for the documentation again and then he made him get off the train on the next stop. It wouldn't be too weird if then, after checking mine, he came to the woman next to me and after she said she didn't have a valid ticket the guy, with a big smile, made her pay the same amount as the ticket costs (instead of the 50€ fine) and let her stay in the train. And then again the same with 3 other people who didn't pay. Only the foreign guy had to get off the train.
Also, like 20 seconds after that, it happened again... that weird moment when you get up your seat to let an old woman to sit down, she refuses politely and then you have to sit down again while everyone's looking at you... I know there is nothing wrong with it, but it's weird XD
Also you have to run so the 15 y.o. kid don't sit down faster than you XD
And also... I've never went to somewhere stinkier than the public transport... today someone smelled like poop -_-
