I just like knowing I’m not alone with this problem. I don’t really come here seeking anything more than a reminder of that. I don’t want to make close friendships or even directly communicate with anyone. I just want to haunt the place for short periods of time, maybe leave a couple of messages on old friend’s profiles, and then go off on my way again.

coming to a place where other people have the same problem, and others.
Because of the issues we face, a majority of the outside world rejects us, and for that, i reject them.
Here, there is solace.

I hope to find that I fit in somewhat better than I appear to be. Don't feel I belong here either; which sucks.

At first I just wanted to see some other people I could relate to, and it's still that but most of all I come here because some people will listen to me. I can come here and vent, or I go to the chatbox a lot now to talk. It's been helpful for me. I might be stuburn-don't think thats spelled right-but 99% of the advice I get really does sink in. I'm still pretty new here, but i've gotten a lot of help whether it was from just chatting some body or reading a persons story or posting a long, sloppy thread about what I am feeling.
So, I don't think I'll be going any time soon.

I also like knowing that there's other people with this problem, so it doesn't make me feel so alone. I feel like I can be myself here without having to totally worrying about judgment or anything like that. I like it here and reading some of the advice posted on other threads has helped me a bit (Reason why I say "a bit" is because I really do need to try harder ).

I came here trying to understand my own head. I googled extreme shyness or something like that and found there was actually a name for what I have. Ive been officially diagnosed since then.
What I found here are some amazing people (and a few not so amazing people who I could have done without) . Some will be life long buddies Im sure.
I've had some laughter, some tears, some adventures, some very nice meet up with people and I hope to have a few more.

First of all places like this remind me I am not alone, that others like me are there. I also want to feel I belong somewhere. I want to be friends with people both online and in RL who understand SP and I can feel comfortable with and won't judge me.
Unfortunately sometimes I feel like I don't belong here too. Although chat to one or two members in here once in a while, I have only met one person & that person was only ever passing through this place.

a) I came here to meet and help people... Although I don't necessarily help people, I just talk to them and share my past experience to show there's hope... And that they don't feel alone.
b) I found lots of nice friendly people. ^^
c) Yes
d) Hmmm not sure? I made some cool friends and maybe 1 day I'll meet them all

This place is the place I come to to get new- and confirm ideas. I also come here to unload and have fun.
For the most part I find it interesting to hear new point of views from people that are going through the same thing I do. It allows me to analyze their thought process and change my own accordingly.
The above has given me the necessary confidence and feedback I needed to try new (extremely important) things. It was still very hard and scary, mind you, but it became doable somehow.
And of course, after a bad day you've always got somewhere to go to, where before the only thing I could do was try and reach out to people on other sites. Which pretty much always resulted in them completely ignoring me.
What I got from this site is;
* Confidence.
* (More accurate) knowledge.
* Motivation.
* Some really awesome friends.
* A last resort for bad times.

The main reason I'm here is just to have something to do. I don't have a job and haven't hung out with friends for 5 years, so practically all my time is free time. Another reason i like coming on here is because I can relate with others on here and am interested in reading what others think about our disorder.
