When I was a child yes. Now its simply because I find people in general deplorable.

Yeah because of shyness and quietness mostly. I can interact with people fine, I just don't normally initiate. In my group of friends in high school I was the exact opposite. It just took awhile to find that group.

Used to be. Had quite a few difficulties in the past. Think I've developed some social graces since then, but sometimes still cherish a bit of solitude. Also, I like people that I can spend time with, without chattering away about the mundane. Silence doesn't have to be awkward.

Well, I have been socially awkward, and only people who really identified with my mindset or interests have invited me their circle. I can say I am glad though, because I have had some of the most fabulous friends ever. It's another thing that I don't get to talk to them often these days that they have gotten busy and we don't get much time to talk. In my opinion, every person deserves his or her own coterie, however shy or awkward he or she might be.

That's terrible. Pretty obviously you have been unfortunate enough to have been part of a bad society and to have been surrounded by wrong people.

Yeah, you could say that; grew up in low-income housing, went to schools on the poorer side of town. Thing is, some kids who grew up in the same situation I did, sometimes fall into the bad side. Not to say I'm perfect or well-adjusted but I do feel stronger and more wise for what I've been through as a kid.

Yep, I'm not a social person at all and am very awkward around people I don't know. I usually hide my shyness behind a veneer of sterness so I don't appear weak.

Yes. I have always been an outcast. I was told that I would "grow out of it", but it never happened.

I still am, I'm not an outcast though. I'm sure people would like me if I were able to talk to them. I have a bit of social anxiety so when ever I try to talk to people it becomes difficult to speak, and I mess up my words a lot. Because of this I just don't talk to people whom I'm not comfortable with.
