I haven't learned about blogging yet, so I can't answer questions B,C, and D, but I have realised that as I make and receive responses on the forum, I feel some of the same difficulty I have in social situations as if I'm in the "real" world. When I got my first response to my first post, I wanted to just sign out and never return (lol). I also feel discomfort as I write online, which is the same way I feel when I talk to someone. What's different is that when I "speak" online, I think I sound better than I do in "real" life. Sometimes I am afraid to respond to posts for fear of "I don't fit in" or "what I have to say isn't relevant" or "everyone's smarter than me", etc. This forum is making me look at my behaviours and why I feel the way I do.
