I suppose if I had not been ostracised as a child/teenager, and wasn’t very socially isolated as an adult, then not having much interaction on a forum would be water off a duck’s back. However it all just re-emphasises the odd person out/outsider aspect of my 3D existence.
Then again if you struggle with social interaction in 3D then forums probably only paper over a few cracks, and look closely enough you can see the building is still in a state of disrepair.
It’s times like this when the much vaunted insight that pdocs bang on about isn’t necessarily a good thing.

I agree. Btw were social outcasts I think it part of being sz. We band together stronger. It’s the only forum I’ve ever really felt like being a part of, let alone I’m practically addicted. Good day to you fire monkey. I look for to years of talking with you.

You should check out my cute dog thread about a teddy bear dog named Munchkin.
I am sitting on the couch right now while my mom and her friend are trying to take down the decorations at 8:42 pm. Socializing isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. 
I want to go to bed. I don’t want to get roped into this endeavor so late at night. They’ve been here since 6 pm and they’re just starting now. This really gets on my nerves.
@firemonkey What are you doing? Have you found any interesting articles lately? I haven’t looked in the news forum.
What is odd is that I am not socially outcast and haven’t been since I was 15- I was actually cool and a social leader before and after age 15. Age 15 was the year at an all boys catholic high school which made me want to leave, which I did, I transferred to an international school and was healthy again and a cool kid.
I have always been an “emo kid” since I was like 12. That means I wear red, black and white, listen to metal and have a taste for the morbid and grotesque, disturbing things, like violent video games, violence, violent music, emo girls (don’t get me started on that) and other emo people, people with disorders, yet I grew and matured despite holding onto the “guy in black” persona. I am now 21, overweight according to the national health thingy, all bodybuilders are technically overweight, we just have the same waist size as if we didnt workout and the rest of our bodies are thick with muscle, and just ordered three black t-shirts with cool designs on them online this afternoon. More black in my wardrobe, like I didn’t have enough. But I didn’t have enough.
Sigh. I am such an emo adult. One of my friends is “emo” too, and he and I are tight. He lifts weights too, we look like the wrong people to mess with when we go out to a bar. LOL Im short and buff as ■■■■, he is taller and not as chiseled but certainly big.
But I have a large circle of friends. I keep in contact with lots of my friends from high school and some of them are in town working or at my school or at the community college. On breaks, like summer, spring, and winter breaks, I am always around my friends on weekends, it’s very good for me. Some of my friends are bar hopping right now and I’m invited, but Im debating whether I want to go, it’s already 10pm, but I guess I will just go have a drink and stick around for a bit…I just stayed out late last night and have a date for tomorrow night, and was hanging out with an old friend on the night before last night, so I might just stick home tonight.
Good news- one of my best friends from high school is coming back to my town after this semester- he is a psych major like I am, and we go way back- I talked to him on the phone earlier, he’s going to bed early for his flight tomorrow.
You would never guess that I have schizophrenia from observing my social interactions from a distance- unless you listened to me speak with my friends and heard us talk about it, it would never enter one’s mind. Now if you watch me all day and see me pop pills and go to the psychiatrist and therapist, you might catch on!
Sparso - are you currently living in the middle east? What country? Thats pretty interesting.
Not much . I lead a very limited life. It is basically internet/tv/eat/drink/sleep. Not found too much recently but weekends are never a good time for articles.
