Doing the LDR thing, esp online, is a way to avoid a lot of uncomfortable things. Being present with someone and relating to them remotely are two completely different things. It's not healthy, especially at your age. You need to get out and explore people around you, IMO.
Uh, in case you haven't noticed, no one "around me" wants anything to do with me. I've pretty much given up on the "local" flavor.
