@RustyCrab @J @Nudhul @PurpCat I know I don't know you personally or what problems you're referring to so I might be making some big assumptions, however you seem to have normal levels of cognitive empathy and are able to pick up on social cues (in text) at least. If you're able to communicate "normally" online under a pseudonym, where you're at your most relaxed, but find yourself shutting down irl then it might be a more of a problem of anxiety/depression. And there's a lot in the world to be anxious/depressed about.
