This is about the internet. It's no secret i sometimes have problems with articulation (getting my thoughts across clearly.) But I also have trouble reading signals others may be sending. One thing that continues to happen every so often, is if I have 1-on-1 conversation with someone and the...

A little birdy asked me this: If a person has poor social skills, uneven intellect, no clear talent in anything, no gifts, poor attention span.. and, as a result, low confidence... might he/she request genetic engineering to make his/herself even with the "average person"? Such a cure for a...

This gal is hella cool, is she not? The Gist - 5 Game Characters I'd Date - The Gist - GameSpot What do you guys think?

Okay, so this will be controversial but I think it's something that needs discussion. A while ago I heard about a controversial trend of some websites and forums that discuss, explain, and recommend good strategies for practicing not just anorexia, but also "mia," and self-harm. Just yesterday...

Has anyone had demonic experiences? Do they come to you in your dreams, and then manifest physically? Have you been dragged across the floor or lifted up in mid-air? I've had bad dreams, but nothing like that happen. However, some people apparently claim such things happen to them.. and...

Okay, so there are some proponents of dating sites on here. Apparently there are people here who have social anxiety, and yet still had some success with dating sites, and so on. So I got to thinking, I need to try it. The other thing: whenever I talk to someone about my problem of lacking...

I came back to posting on forums and trying to talk to people online, because I was lonely and in an emotional crisis. I still am and I expect I will be having this crisis for a while. So when people reply to my posts, or otherwise contact me, and say "I'd like to chat, I can relate," and so...

This is not just for those with social anxiety, but more for those who suffer from being "strange, left out, behind, overwhelmed all the time no matter what," or being an odd duck in general. You know who you are, because you've felt this way all your life! If you had your own conspiracy...

It's all in the topic. Will doing this confer any benefit whatsoever? The ultimate goal I suppose is to help me break down the barriers I have. I mean, I can't speak to the opposite sex, because I believe I come off as strange, vapid, and idiotic. Then if I can break down that barrier, then...

I'm from Pennsylvania, although I am also pretty close to New Jersey. I'll admit, I'm lonely and would like to talk to someone. You just have to be nice, basically. Being from the area is a plus. Yours truly, A great person

So I've had things I've wanted to do for at least 15 years now. So I'm now 32, and the only thing I've done with these desires--dreaming and hoping--counts for nothing. I'm either dreaming about what I want, or hoping I will get lucky and it will just happen with little-to-no effort. But I...

This is for those who took no action and no risk in life and realized, for instance at my age of 32, if you don't start living now, you might never live at all. If you're not one of those people, you may not understand; nonetheless if you have some optimism for me, I'd like to hear it. I think...

My emotions swing badly, and it takes only a small trigger. The worst is envy, when for instance I think about how I'm so behind in everything in life, and envy those who just get it done. When this happens, my mood can swing from "neutral" all the way to extreme anger or sadness, or both, and...

First off, if you don't like self-deprecation, this isn't for you :) I'll keep it mild, nonetheless. I won't get into details, but suffice it to say, most things in my life are broken. I'm aware of how much worse it could be, but also aware of the demands of our society. At some point it...

I'm new here. I have social anxiety, but also issues with shyness, avoidance, and so on. I think a lot of these traits overlap with one another, thus making it difficult to figure out which forum works best for the issues I'd like to discuss. I'm also looking to discuss the quite rare issue...
