So as not to patronize you, I'll just tell you what I tell myself when I find myself in a similar state of mind. Them's the breaks, slick. Go fucking do something about it. Yeah, talking to people is hard. Have a few drinks, man up and fucking do it. You're smart, funny, and reasonably attractive. I think you might be a bit of an asshole, maybe, in the same way that I'm an asshole, but to a lesser extent. Doesn't matter. Being an asshole never stopped me from getting laid fairly often and being reasonably popular when I made an effort to do so. You just have to get off your ass and do it. Go forth, young warrior, and quit yer bitchin'.
I suppose, in the end, that the only way to get friends is to go out and talk to people.
I'd better get to manning up, then. I'd take a few drinks, but I can't afford them. School's coming up and shit. Maybe after it starts, I'll meet some folks who will provide them for free. It'd be about the only thing worth doing on campus short of eating and surfing the net.
You got me interested in playing the violin again, so I dug mine out of the closet last night. I hadn't picked it up since sixth grade, and when I tried to play it I realized it's the kid-size version. I can't play it anymore. Not sure what I'm going to do with it now.
I never got the idea you wanted sympathy from this post. Sometimes you just want people to know what you're going through. Nobody can appreciate how strong you are until they know how severe the problems are that you're hiding.
This isn't advice, I'll just say that I didn't have any real friends till I was 31. I thought the best years of your life were supposed to be in high school or college, but every day I shake my head and "wow" that it's not the case every time.

My best game's been 125. Not going to win many that way, but it's not like I've got time for a league anyways right now.
