It made me think of posting on PC and the risk involved. What if no one responds or I am rejected? What if the writing style doesn't evoke the intended emotion or comes across as rude when it never was intended to and I alienate everyone. I can't hide behind my looks, body language, my position in society it's really just me in all my twisted glory--exposed.

I found this really interesting. I find posting on PC and writing to my T much easier because I CAN hide my looks, body language etc.. and say stuff I would never be able to say. Either way it is scary wondering if people will accept you post and respond.

I'll try to explain...Because of my hx I tend to sexualize relationships (body language etc). A person can hide alot by being this way. In addition, looks can be a defense (i.e. I can tell myself, if I don't belong it's because of my weight). I also can be invisible and disregarded because of the way I look.
I hope that makes sense. I guess for me any connection is a risk. It seems to come so easy for everyone here. Intellectually I am relatively mature, socially/emotionally not so much.
