So... 'hello', I suppose. I made an account some years ago, and very quickly stopped using it. Probably fair to assume I said something embarrassing and ran to hide shortly afterwords; I'm not going to check.
Anyway: I thought it might be interesting to actually make use of this forum, given my account is, in fact, a thing. Essentially, I don't get out. I'm not a complete agoraphobic though. I do actually go out every other week (for counseling) and I've started biking recently. I talk to a couple people online, and occasionally see the one friend within a hundred miles of me in person.
More important than sociality -- and more on the topic of this thread -- is my not having ever had a job before. I've just recently passed 21 here, and my complete lack of work ethic, social tolerance, useful knowledge, and work experience is something of an issue. I basically don't have any planned future ahead of me. For a while, my plan was something like 'avoid getting kicked out of the house as long as possible and then proceed to die of starvation in a ditch', but I don't know that I'm particularly feeling that anymore. It might be the Prozac; that's a fairly new development.
On the point of Prozac: does anyone else who takes that notice it makes one more inclined towards... 'relations', as Charlie Pace of Lost termed it? (I'm not traditionally a fan of euphemisms, but I don't remember the site's policy on cussing, and have no inclination to look it up.) Between making me more interested in women and repeatedly waking me up in the middle of the night, it's somewhat unsavory, but it may actually be doing something ambiguously positive inside my head.
So, to wrap this thing up: I'd be happy to hear thoughts from any social phobics or depressives who've dealt with a similar situation, given such folk would presumably be alive to read this, and this would be he appropriate venue for such a request. Also, if anyone either does play-by-post RP or plays Civilization V, those are two areas where I'm eager to expand my circle of contacts. Especially the second one. Seriously.
