i have it the worst. i can't even make friends online. that's how bad i am at social interaction. it is to the point where i avoid making friends online. i don't use any IM programs because i fear social interactions online. a internet forum is as far as i will go, even that is hard. i despise myspace and it makes me depressed to know that even people with SA have them. i think twice even when i make posts on this very forum. i feel i am still having to conform to some social standard on here. why is this? i often find myself re-wording the way i type things because i'm afraid i will come off as desperate or plain stupid. sometimes i purposely use bad grammar (ex: not capitalizing any letters) because i feel it gives a different tone that recieves a different reaction. sometimes i even decide not to post what i typed at the last second because i re-read it and start to think i sound ridiculous. does everything have to be a popularity contest? i know it's not this forum... it is me... i am so terrible... what's the point anymore??
