·I know what makes social situations easier:
-Not being social at all!
-I can relate to about 1.5% of humanity. Even those with similar interests as me I have a hard time relating to. I had about 3 friends during high school and I never desired to have any more.
-I am a great actor and can get along with just about anybody. That's all being social to me is, it's acting. I even put on different accents with certain people. I can speak southern, bronx, british, australian, californian, Chicagoan. So in essence, I find that acting helps when you absolutely must be social. It takes the edge off.
But really, don't be social at all. That is the perfect remedy for your ailment. Throw out your marlboros, dump your budweiser down the kitchen sink, and cuddle up in your room and convert into a full time recluse!
Back to my room to read comic books and penthouse while gorging down a tub of mint chocolate chip ice cream. yummmmmm

·Diabetic? That sucks. I bet the sugar free ice cream tastes pretty bad, huh?
"Recluses unite." Good one! I think we should all unite somwhere, ya know, have a convention of some sort somewhere. We could have it in someones basement, where we would all hide in the corner and not talk to each other while we wallowed in our own misery.
Actually, I don't think that'd be the case. I've met a few Dpers/recluses and it was like meeting a long lost brother/sister. The bond between whackos can be pretty strong, even though it's not real and just imaginary.

That's interesting. I feel I would still be in the corner chewing my fingernails off.Pure Narcotic said:

Too bad I didn't feel that way even when I was in the mental hospital for three and a half months last summer. There was a girl suffering from dissociation and yet it felt like we don't have anything in common. I thought she seemed very judgemental so I was just afraid of her. Plus she was probably smarter than me. Anyway, life sucks.

3 1/2 months? Woah, that must have been terrible. I visited someone in one once and it was the most depressing place ever.maria said:
How miserably wonderful. I can just see you all, doing the Thorazine shuffle behind Scattered's tattered banner of depression and nihilism, down some dark steps into a self-imposed oblivion.

I was in a great mood until I read this post. I don't like any of you anymore, and I especially hate your pessimism. :evil:

I can't drink for other reasons right now so I'm going to have to resort to something else.Axel19 said:

It's probably the wrong word, but perhaps you might want to try "practice". The more acquainted you become with your friends, the less anxiety you feel. The same goes for being with strangers. You might try forcing yourself to get a job where you have to talk to people all the time, for example.
Unless, of course, you genuinely do enjoy being a recluse. I don't know how you people manage it since any ind of even limited isolation for a couple of days is enough to send me down depression lane.
It is a self-reinforcing cycle. Sometimes I'm not willing to go through with it because it seems that life itself is fucked, and if I do make some headway, I'll realize that there is nothing on the other side. That mental illness is a justified reaction to a world that, even when looked at optimistically, doesn't offer a hell of alot.

I disagree. I think the world's a shit place, in many if not most ways, but I still fail to see how it's somehow "justified" or "makes sense" to be depressed as a result.
Well we're all different, obviously. Hangovers are always a bit of a pain, lawya make me depressed and dp'ed. However I know it is being caused by the hangover and will go away by the evening, so it isn't a big deal.
As for being drunk, it's always fun these days, I think I'm just far too experienced to start panicking.
I think you should perhaps give it a go, getting drunk is fun.
