One interesting thing is that if you seriously claim that there is something like a Flying Spaghetti Monster, they will send you to the nuthouse, while if you claim that there is something called God, Jahve or Allah, they will respect you (at least many will) and maybe even help you build a sanctuary for them.

So the state encourages madness, just if it is religious. One might wonder why.

You said you don't use WP but you said you lurked there. It sounds like you're saying two different things here. To me lurking on a forum is using the forum so I thought maybe you don't see lurking on a forum as using it.

I suppose you're right.  I never saw lurking and reading posts as actually using a forum. This is the only forum that I'm posting on but I do read other forums. I don't read WP at the moment, but I do regularly read a couple of football ones to help me keep up with the team I support back home.

"I’m fearless in my heart.
They will always see that in my eyes.
I am the passion; I am the warfare.
I will never stop...
always constant, accurate, and intense."

Again though, I say you need to find a situation or set up one suited to overcoming your phobia, and go ahead and face it head on. Only way to overcome stuff like that to my knowledge.

That's what I'm doing on this site. There's no point in trying to overcome my intimacy problem without first trying to sort out my social phobia. I find it very hard to talk to people in real life. If I say something stupid on here I know it won't affect me IRL. Some people advised me to try speaking on the internet as a first step towards being able to speak to people face to face.

I post here partly to keep my communication skills from deteriorating too much.  I have so little contact with people IRL and online these days that my speech has become a bit slurred and stuttery from lack of use and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to put my thoughts into words when I'm speaking or typing.

I have a lot of problems putting my thoughts into words when I'm speaking or typing aswell. I start saying something and know the information I want to put across, but as soon as I start saying it I realize that I haven't thought out the words that I'm going to use. I always end up inventing words just to get my information across. I know it makes me look like an idiot but its better than having to stop for 10 seconds mid sentance just to figure out the proper structure of what I'm trying to say. I know most of my posts probably seem fairly coherant, but that's because I have a lot of time to think about them and edit the bits that don't make sense.
I do a lot of speaking IRL but 99% of it's with 3 people. I only speak to 3 other people. My great uncle who I hate, the girl in the chip shop, and the guy who fixes my scooter.

I also spend a lot of time editing, rethinking and often scrapping what I've typed; words used to flow smoothly onto the page, but not so much these days.  My mum is the only person I speak to with any regularity, and she does most of the talking.  I used to IM with friends online every day, but I lost interest in that a couple of years ago and I've had pretty limited contact with people online since then.

What is your cup size?

Are your areola large or small?

Are your areola pink or dark?

How do you shave your muff? (clean shaven, landing strip, triangle, heart, etc)
