Sometimes I just feel like my face is stuck in the screen, typing and socializing at same time.I know in a real world, thisjust a virtual world. I'm not against to this site, but I know I really can't find real friends here, and I cannot find the attention that I seek.
LOOKING AT THE BRIGHT SIDE, listeners really seems so nice but I'm just thinking if they see me in person, theywould be the same?. Like being nice to me. I'm socially awkward, I admit that and sometimes I really look like thinking really deep thoughts but actually I'm just staring atthe kitchen , to the floor or to somewhere. Yeaaaah! sounds crazy right?

No, you're not wasting your time.

You need help, we're here. If you being here was a waste of time, this site would not have existed. This site has guides to help people. Earning knowledge is not a waste of time.In fact, nothing you do is a waste of time except if you do absolutely nothing at all. Even staying still and meditating isn't a waste of time.And getting help and socializing (in any way)isnevera waste of time.

I'm sure we'd all love to hear from you. You seem like a considerate andinteresting person. And I love your introspection. The world actually needs more people like you.It's okay if you're socially awkward, because you're not alone. Listeners here are actually just good people who want to help. They're usually not that judgmental. It doesn't really matter what people think, as long as you have yourself.Just take it easy. You're not crazy. (I kinda like the crazy label on myself, though. Haha :3 )

You're okay no matter what.

Time is something you have to plan to spendwell. It's not like you have to rush. Haste can make waste.This islife, not 'time'. Take it easy.And every time you feel even the least bit of joy or satisfaction, that'snevera waste of time. Relaxing isn't a waste of time either.

Just relax. Everything will work out somehow. Trust me, I've been there. Optimism can work wonders.

If you want to do something and your heart agrees with you too, just do it. No matter how significantthe task is i.e. "worth your time". Follow your heart. Do what you want to do if it makes you happy and content, both in the short and long run.

Hugs, kisses andoranges.

This, My Life. Bonus points if you are also a dream, sound and story nerd :D
The most awesome thing about here I guess, is that most people at 7cups can actually empathise with you. As opposed to sitting in a high chair, comfy chair, floor or just plain chair-- Doing doodles, scribbling words and wracking your brain for the right words. For the prodding but sympathetic counsellor.

If your biggest concern is instead the listener-- Go try it for yourself. :D Only takes a few minutes to sign up and doesn't have to be permanent. What did you experience in listening? What did you think? These are all and more of what your listeners feel too, for you and for everybody. Appearances are always decieving. Nobody can help prejudice but that's exactly what 7cups is aiming for. In the internet age, all are masked, all are free and all are to be. :)

You gain experience!

There is nothing wrong about being socially awkward. Sometimes it can be pretty difficult to understand other people and act in 'proper way'. You can also be one of these unique persons who may have problem with understanding and learning completely accepted social behaviors. It doesn't mean you are worse as a human being or a friend! When I was 13 years old, I met a boy with AspergerSyndrome. He was (or rather is) the most socially awkward person I have ever met, but he is also my dear friend and I completely can't imagine living without him. :)

You're not wasting your time practicing to open yourself. We won't judge you, we won't laugh at you. Social skills are something that most of people can actually learn! And I'm pretty sure I would love to talk to you face to face. :D

Hey. I feel the same way so Im starting this thing on Skype instead where we can call each other and arrange times and chat like that because its more efficient than waiting for a reply. I know it's a scary place but its worth the try and not much can go wrong with just knowing a number. Immoral speech and people will be blocked. 0027 81 785 9568. Im from South Africa. I hope this helps xxx
