Maybe it's time to call it quits.

I am stronly considering completely ending all of my online existence. It really hasn't gone well for me. I've made enemies. I have een permabanned from forums. My warning level here is a 3. I'm obviously no good at this and just set myself up for grief.

Maybe I'll end all I am online and try starting over. I don't know. But I feel like I have reached a breaking point.

If I just completely withdraw and have no contact with the outside world at all in any form I'll probably be happier and I will not have these bad experiences.

I've had this one guy on this forum lecturing me about how I won't be able to handle the real world the way I am. But I don't have to. I can just withdraw completely.

Welp my online buddy just told me in an email that my posts are appaling. So that's it. No more. I'm done.

Perhaps that person isn't your buddy. It seems to me you've been one of the most articulate and independent posters here.

Yes, I'm hearing you.
Also thinking of calling it quits for good.
Just because it's online doesn't mean we can do social any better.
Someone wanting to know why I haven't died yet was the last straw for me.

For the record, I've mostly found your posts clever and highly relatable.

I don't want to be around people any longer. This isn't because of any one event or any one person. It's something that's been building up ever since I entered the online social world.

I don't even like being around others on the online multiplayer video game I play. Most of the time that anyone says hi to me in it I immediately log out to avoid contact.

This interacting has always been a strain. In real life I have stopped going to school and do everything from my room. I stay in my room alone as much as possible because it's comfortable for me. I should just stick to reading and watching movies and play some game that's completely solo.

I find your posts wise.
Well, maybe you just need some rest from us. Come back when your batteries recharge!

You're a pain in the ass, Ezra. And you know you're a pain in the ass.

But I believe it would be disastrous should you stop posting here on WP.

^^ This. You are amazingly articulate and it’s extra amazing given your age.

I hope Raleigh lives to be at least 100.

I like it that he rides his bike a lot.

I'm just kidding, Ezra....

For Pete's Sake!

Stay on WP, Buddy. Debate the issues. Play Devil's Advocate. Have fun.

I wish I lived in your area of Washington State. Glory in the Nature around you.

People always think I'm playing something have some kind of scheme or tactic so they tell me I have no credibility etc. Just one false conclusion about me and false accusation after the other. I can't take it any more.

I can relate.
I kind of go through talkative phases, both online and off. But usually end up feeling embarrassed or something. Awkward, overwhelmed.
Any number of things.
Sometimes I just stop going to forums because of it. Have thought about completely deleting my online existence quite a few times.
For me, trying to just lurk and only say anything if it's really important helps. Trying to stay away from politics and religion. Generally out of conversation or debate.

I like seeing you here Ezra and Raleigh.
