Is there any way to be by oneself without feeling lonely? I mean, without feeling any negative emotions? Would anyone on here want that kind of life?

You wrote, "I'm lost in this life." You've already found yourself. You're aware of your predicament. Now begins the road back, but you have to build it yourself; you have to discover what it is you really want, everyone has to define his lives for himself. One thing that helps me is...

There was a girl in one of my classes last semester and she was easy to talk to. I didn't have to try; I said what I wanted, and it was met with welcome and reciprocity. It felt really good talking to her; she became the best part of the class, of school, just because of the chance to talk to...

That's no way to think, man. Sure, social skills are learned (that's what a skill is - acquired. No one was born with them. If each of us were then, it';d be easy to make friends, coming as a built-in instinct.) but you can learn anything you want. A better vocabulary doesn't insure...

Yeah, online conversations may be comfortable, but with me, it's as if the anxiety I feel in person extends to the virtual world. I become nervous in even approaching people, even those I know and have talked to in person. It's strange, this feeling. Does it affect you, being around...

That sounds pretty severe, to feel immense fear in social situations. So what do you do for socialization? I mean, does it interfere with your virtual socialization or not? 'Cause it'd be virtually the same, I imagine, as talking to a person face-to-face, the same process of talking, at...

What are the symptoms for Social Anxiety? I mean, is it as simple as being impotent at socializing? Is it that it's difficult to make friends or is it that the intuition is out the window in terms of talking to people?

Is it normal to feel like something's wrong with you when you're by yourself, as if if you need other people, that without them, you're helpless and lost? With me, it's like this. And when I'm around people I feel better. But when I go back to being by myself, that anxiety comes back and it's...

"I can't stand small talk, but moving beyond it can be hard. I am never sure how much to ask or to reveal so usually take my cue from the other person." Right on, man. I think that's why most of the conversations I've tried to have failed to escalate to the intended conversation, 'cause I take...

How can an adult make friends? Guideline appreciated. Applies to both online and offline.

That's kinda why I don't like small talk haha. We hate our own shortcomings.

"what if i ask you whats your purpose and why you exist? Are you willing to tell me everything about you, right now?" Yes. I guess that what I want is impossibly unrealistic; people want to hold on to certain thoughts/things in their lives, thoughts/things that are too sacred to tell others...

No, I'm a people person, I like people. It's just that I wanna know the whole of one's existence, not just a part.
