It's so frustrating to me to think that a lot of these people walking around might actually like me and care about me if they got to know me, but I don't have access to that because of these social barriers.

I've been like this recently, and I think it's because of something that happened (my little sister has developed some kind of schizophrenia-type thing). Because, you know, before it happened I didn't really get this so much. But, I mean, I'm not usually thinking about my sister, so it's one of...

Yeah, to be honest, this is pretty true. Sometimes, I suppose, knowing why you do something might point you toward a solution to your problem, but most of the time, it ends up as just an interesting philosophical point that doesn't do anything to help you change your behavior. As far as who...

You would probably be right about that if I hadn't been down that road before. In fact, at the moment I'm very aware that I don't know how to tell the difference between feelings of friendship and romantic attraction, but I've successfully prevented myself from making any romantic advances, and...

...do you want somebody to cheer you up, or do inspirational messages just sound patronizing, and you'd rather wallow in your misery for a while? I get the latter a lot. I think mainly I just seem to need to experience negative emotions for a while in order to properly get over them. If I try...

That's why I feel so bad about it. I don't want her to feel bad, but I guess part of me does... And again: it's nice to know I'm not the only one, which means I'm feeling good about someone else feeling bad. I don't want that to be how it is, but I don't see what I can do about it. That's...

I don't really have social anxiety, but I definitely can't talk to people. Like, I can order food without feeling nervous, or respond to a question from a stranger... but I can't hold conversations with people because I don't follow trends or the news, so I have no idea what anyone's talking...

I think you hit on it right there: this guy sounds very immature, and you said he's 10 years younger, so that makes sense. It sounds like maybe he wanted to be more than friends, and then when you indicated that he wasn't your type, he had a tantrum and left. Another case of romance getting in...

The person I feel closest to right now is a friend who lives halfway across the country. She's a girl, but there's no romance between us; nonetheless, we love each other as friends. But because she's almost my only friend, I need her much more than she needs me, and it makes me feel bad in a lot...

I registered this account a long time ago, but it appears that I chickened out at posting. I managed to do the password reset thing, so I'm here now. My username refers to something in electrical circuits because I was previously taking college classes about them. Now I can't even remember what...
