I don't really have friends on here.
So why does talking to people make me so nervous...?

@Brianna - I don't either, but talking to people just makes me nervous in general. Fear of being picked apart, I suppose, and that I won't be seen as an equal. *shrug*

I've also realized I get QA Anxiety because I feel intimidated by some of the other members, so it makes me have anxiety

@El for me its not just that they're scary, but people like them better and whatnot, I feel intimidated because I feel in a way insignificant and like I don't belong, but mostly cause they are kind of scary.

When I see a member that's older than me,mahout 80% of the time I'm just like, "Holy shit time to go hide now bye." but that's just kind of the way I am around older people. xD

@Robin It's nothing to do with the site really, it's just normal anxiety about people not liking what you said. I don't think there's anything you can really do to fix it, except let people get to know each other better. There's nobody really scary or intimidating on here, just people we don't know well enough.

@ Robin: Yup, what Liam said and I'm scared of older people in general so there's not much you can do about that. Once people get about two years older than me they start freaking me out just because they're older XD. Not much can fix that really. Somehow though I managed to talk to Kai once and then I got over that whole thing around them. No one else though. Oh and... I used to be terrified of Adam (BigGayBear) but I sort of got over that too XD.

I do this on every single forum I post on. I even do it IRL if I try to talk to people. =(

@ Weeird
I'm exactly the same way. 
I get what everyone's saying about people not liking whatever you've said, but there's also the added worry of someone misunderstanding you. With the internet, a lot of nuance gets lost, and sometimes people can misinterpret what you've said or done. When that happens, it's hard to figure it out... That, in itself is nervewracking.
