I think I've just proved I'm neurotic

So, for most people, social interactions over the 'net are easier than social interactions IRL. Heck, in some cases, people seem to forget there is a real-life person at the other end of the screen -- this is what probably causes trolling and general asshattery. People see the Internet as an annonymous place, where one can change identities as simply as changing clothing.

Not me. I'm thhe type of person when I make a social mistake on the net (I don't read instructions carefully enough or make a factual error or am unintentionally rude), I feel awful about it, get worried everyone who saw thinks I'm a rude idiot, and try to avoid the area until I calm down, which can take up to a week. I also avoid people when I know I owe them something -- there's a reason I haven't updated the devART clubs I am responsible for in months. Doing so would involve explaining what the hell happened, and why I disappeared.

I have to be the only person in the world who has Internet-Exclusive Social Anxiety.
