It is him, but he gave his trolling persona a new level of annoying lil' *****.

Well... we'll know by tommorow when his temp-ban runs out.

I actually used to be a bit like Duby when I first got on the internet.
I was all hyper and crazy and didn't care what I posted, mostly because 1. I was young and didn't understand internet etiquette, and 2. had a lot of irl issues so when I got online I went all out to feel better.
I got banned from some forums at the age of 16 or so because I had no idea what 'necro' meant with threads, and kept posting on really old threads thinking, "Yay, conversations are fun!"

[SnOwBunZz]

Everyone, or at least most, is Lina.

He's 21 now. He already should be past that stage. If he isn't he has serious problems or he's just a giant troll.

I feel like it better to get it off from my chest instead of keeping it bottled up

i dont have no one outside the internet i can tell my problems to

Ozz/Duby, I would like to mention that I am proud of you to take a step in the direction of improving your life. My advice is, if you want to increase your social skills and not be a shut in all the time is to probably enroll into a college in your near area. I don't know if you're in school or not already, but that would be your best bet. You could then apply for a work-study, or something to hold you off till you get a real job. Make sure your schedule is spread out M - F, so you're consistently on-campus and can meet/mingle with the entire school. (I only went Tuesdays and Thursdays, so if you went on M, W , F, you would probably never even knew i went to my college.).

After you do eventually get a job, and you're in school if you can attend, you should rarely ever be at home. The key here is to socialize, socialize, and socialize. AND BE YOURSELF! Don't be too weird though.

Making a facebook will help too.

Its not like it even matters if you have no one to tell your problems too. In reality, when ever we really talk to someone its because we want to hear the stuff /we/ only want to hear anyways. I was going through all kinds of shit in 2011. But since then my life has smoothed out. Its all about implying, then applying. You have to do whats best for you. You're doing the right thing by singling out whats wrong with your life, and making a change. But in the end, no one can really do anything, but you.

Back when I was 14/15, I was like you. I was heavily depressed, I had NO friends I was a shut in. All I had was My computer, and for awhile I was happy cause i felt like that was all that I needed. My social skills, and perspectives paled in comparison to who I am now. But, I got tired of being depressed, being a shut in. I asked myself, is this all I want from life? Im just existing, not living. Also the idea of having to take a pill just to feel better for the rest of my life bothered me. So I sought out what was the cause of my depression. It was my environment. So I Moved to Minnesota, new place, new people. It was all I Needed, my depression went away instantly. And since I didn't have my pc like I did in my home state, I was able to slowly crawl out of that shell. Started making friends and overall my life just became way better. I improved.

All it takes is the first step, and the will to make that step. We, or anyone who really cares can lead you to the water, but we can't give you the drink.

In life it's not important to do things.
It's important to do the right things.

I think you are paralyzed because you don't know how to put yourself to a regiment of moderation.
The only thing there is to it is to give it a shot.

Duby, I know how ya feel even MORE now.
Though I tried college, I personally couldn't handle it, as my depression + anxiety + paranoia = one very awkward college student.
Nowadays I just go on the computer for WoW/GW2 and Tumblr....and that's about it.
I know I should be doing more, but I don't feel comfortable doing things where I have to work with people now.
I only seem to feel comfortable with around...five people or so these days.
FIVE.
Two of my best friends, my sister, and my parents.
That's it.
I've never cut myself or self-harmed in any way at least, though there are lots of times where my thoughts have been dangerously suicidal.
The only things that comfort me are animals, mostly cats, so I've been jokingly calling myself a crazy cat lady.
...
But, yeah, anyways, if it helps I found a site I go to when I need advice for staying stable.

They're very sweet people who know just what to say to help out.
