I think I should spend less time online, and particularly avoid IRC, for a while. (The mild irony of putting this in an LJ does not escape me.) The shyness and my (lately monstrous) stress level seem to be back in a sort of feedback loop. When I do manage to say something, especially without face-to-face cues, better than half the time it comes out sounding horribly wrong. Part of this is due to anxiety-skewed perception, but some of it is likely very real; combine too much self-consciousness with a recent tendency toward prickliness, and the results might not be pretty.

Yes, I realise I've been sounding brittle, here and elsewhere, lately. Sorry if I've offended anyone--if lots of screaming wasn't involved, it probably wasn't intentional. ;)

I will miss you

I appreciate it. Haven't talked to you in a while, now that I think about it--maybe you should be glad. ;)

*hug* Argh. That's not good.

(Oh, and AOL. Once again, you are me and ICM5P.)

Thanks, though it's not that big a deal. Probably better to recognise by now that it's really time to do something about the stress level when my already-iffy immune system starts crashing. (Too many years of colds and flu leading into all-winter bronchitis...urgh.) Well, even better to do something before that point, but pretty foolish not to once it's reached. *wry smile*

Erm, yes. Tried those horse tranquilisers yet? :)
