Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realised how badly the pandemic aggravated my social anxiety when I was playing an online game and an ally kept on getting too close to me throughout the match. I actually had to quit the game and take my emergency meds so I wouldn't go into a full blown crisis. FML
Today, my social anxiety got so bad that I'm now afraid to add people on Facebook. FML

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

Girl, I feel you. Sometimes I have to avoid people in SWTOR for the same reason.

Hahahaha! You need to get laid!

Being an introverted WoW player doesn't mean you don't get laid, don't make assumptions. Plenty could vouch for meeting both criteria and getting ten times more than you ever will.. oh wait, you're ******* ELEVEN, that's right. You don't know much about the world anyway, your opinion is irrelevant.

Not to mention, dearie, getting laid wont solve any of your problems. I hope you learn this and don't use this advice in your own life, or else you'll be making problems, not solving them.

I honestly dont see why people say WoW is for nerds and losers. It's no different then playing xbox or any other video game its just on a different console. Just because someone plays WoW doesnt mean they dont have a life.

The get a life comments all seem to come from the addicted players of games with no social interaction at all. Odd that socially retarded fps gamers would talk trash to socially awkward mmo gamers, but maybe it helps their self esteem issues.
