I used to have several real life friends that I involved in my personal life because they shared my interest in gaming but long story short a few people in the group had a falling out, myself included, in a pretty bad way so I've pretty much just avoided people in general when it isn't online because I'm very nervous about showing myself to people in person after that point. I don't know if I've really faired that much better online because while I think I'm a nice person I have no way to judge what most people think of me.
I'll stop there because I'm rambling and bumming myself out at the same time but I guess I'm saying I can relate a little, though I don't know if my problems are that big of a deal. There's probably a reason I don't realtalk with people much.
tl;dr: I think I have social issues.
