Because I do not have many friends, but do have a strong need for connection, I spend quite a lot of time on internet forums; probably too much time. One problem is that if I reply to someone, or comment about something and get no response I tend to interpret that as rejection, or else see my own comment as worthless. Rationally I know there are lots of reasons there may be no reply, but I still struggle with it emotionally, and the whole process becomes very anxious.

Does anyone else identify?
