That's why I like online friends better. People halfway across the world from me. People I'd never meet. I tried it before and it kind of ruined the experience, once I really got to know them in person. I have social anxiety. I couldn't talk to them anymore. I realised we didn't have as much in common as we had thought.
Ah, that happens, with people that you know only through LJ/internet first, since there's so much that you can't tell just from internet contact. For the record, however, everybody says that they have not been disappointed meeting me in real life!
I'm ridiculously easy to get along with.
But social anxiety, I would imagine, would be a dampener on a real life relationship! No matter, thank heavens for this text on a screen.

(This is my main journal. It's up to you which side of me you'd like to be exposed to.)
