Now I see what you mean by anxiety, thankyou. At 16, and attending a
community college I am more aware than ever of my social limitations. But I
have a method that works to allow me to function; I act like I am six. I
ask innocent questions and make innocent remarks. This makes my social
mistakes fade away as just something which that cute retard who's good at
math did. I know that this might seem to be a self demeaning approach, but
you have no idea how much I respect 6 year olds.
