I'll admit I come off as a complete idiot on the internet. I tend to half-explain things in a rush, caring little about grammar, spelling, overall presentation, consistency, the amount of logic displayed, how mature I appear, etc. It's something I need to work on. When I'm writing an essay, explaining something in real life, etc. I imagine I seem way more intelligent than I do on the internet. Of course, that doesn't mean I haven't had my fair share of stupid things said in real life, or the occasional bad paper.
Sometimes I'll post about a topic I don't know too much about, but hopefully people realise I'm self aware of it and am willing to change my opinion when they explain things to me.
I also tend to treat the internet more as 'casual conversation' than debate, which is probably bad.
Edit: Thought this was the chat thread, I was just talking, not complaining about anything. That is bad, Bob. I can relate. My mom has been unemployed for over a year (I think she recently found part time work though) and I haven't seen anybody all summer either. Today was my school registration and I realised I have gone from a social person (I have always been a bit timid, but can open up to be people, and used to be capable of just going to places by myself and meeting new people) to a complete introvert. It is difficult to relate to normal people now. What we both need to do is not fuck up this last year of high school. I also decided to keep writing in my 'diary' in case any of you were wondering if I continued that trend after my embarrassing post. It is very relaxing, helps you make better decisions, inspires you to live a less mundane life, improves organisation skills, and could possibly immortalise you. I highly recommend it.
