Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Turn off the PC and go find another human to interact with. It may be painful at first but it will get better.

All you people saying "you need to get out" or "you have issues" have never had or met someone with anxiety it can severely hurt a persons life, you can't just tell them to Get over it. It doesn't work that way. It's something that has to be dealt with in steps and yes, online gaming can be a huge step in that because your not forcing yourself into uncomfortable situations. You can easily take yourself out if it's to much.
