> I think there is also a good chance that I would be really quiet and start to quietly cry by myself as I realize what a pathetic loser I was...then I'll make others terribily uncomfortable. At that point I'll have to leave and hope for the best as I wander away aimlessly as I've done in the past.

> If anyone were to understand being quiet, and starting to cry by yourself it would be a group of babblers!! I mean that almost made me smile, (not in an unsympathetic way) I just wonder how many of us here haven't desperately tried to stifle tears that spring up.. at work, at family gatherings.. on the bus.. walking down the street.

> Also, I find, (even when I'm nervous at first, or don't feel I'll fit in) that when I'm with a group of "depressed" or ill people I hardly ever feel that sense of isolation and innate "loserdom" :) that makes me want to cry.
> There's a sense of kinship that is reassuring, and it can be sensed, it doesn't need to be spoken.Just want to second those thoughts. Deneb, you seem like the kind of person I'd really like to hang around with, actually. I'm no good in a crowd but I'm OK one-on-one or with a small number of people I'm comfortable with. If I hung around "the life of the party" I'd feel like a "loser" too. Don't compare yourself to that person; you have your own strengths and it takes all kinds.
