Just be yourself and be civil. i like you just fine :) you and Buttertart :)
Misunderstandings abound even for people like me who don't have social phobias or (much) social anxiety. Just try your hardest, but don't be afraid to be yourself either, becuase I like Deneb just fine, both when she's professing Bob-Love, and when she's needing a little extra attention because she's scared or hurting.
You mentioned that you were pretty quiet during the APA conference. Yet, you were keeping all of us up to date with your in depth and lively running commentary of events. It was great! You have the talent for communicating, even if it's not in face-to-face communication. I know it's not as comfortable. You're not alone there!
I get really zoned out too. When I was in my deep deep depression, I had a hard time following conversations. The better you listen, the better your memory will be, but you have to be motivated to listen. So? I don't know? start small- take baby steps. It's okay. Not everyone is destined to be a motivational speaker. Some people are just quiet. That's okay too.
You like attention? MEE TOOO!
here's some attention coming your way
(((((hugs for Deneb*)))))
and if you ever want to chat with me, give me a ring :) [but I go to bed pretty early compared with you!]
your friend,
-ll
