Author:
I am not someone who has ever connected with people.
I have been diagnosed with something called "Social Anxiety Syndrome", however that is just a fancy way of saying that
I am a loser that no one wants to really bother with.
I thought that, perhaps, I could interact, on limited basis, with some of you on this site.
I fear that I have merely imposed myself, once again, where I am not truly wanted.
So, you will not see me logging in again.
I know most will say, 'so what?', or 'who cares'.
But for those that I have offended, I apologize.
I will not bother any of you ever again.

*hugs*
I know exactly how you feel. I have similar issues, maybe not as strongly as you do. There are people on this site that literally hate me because I said something stupid while trying to help. I think about pulling my stories and deleting my bookmarks for this site often because I feel like I don't fit in.
But there are some good people here. Don't let the slopebrowed weaseljaws chase you off, hon. Hang out on the webchat. There's is a ton of good people on there.
~And so it goes...
What silly remarks?
I have never seen you write anything that I did not like.

It doesn't matter
I'm not going to give those people the time of day here. Just believe me, they exist.
Besides, this is about reaching out to Allison. :)
~And so it goes...
I would miss you if you left, Erica
your support has been very helpful to me.
Huggles!
And the same goes for you, Alison
You and a small handful...
*hugs* Thanks, Dottie.
~And so it goes...
This is not about you.
So, I have a mild case of that also. Though, if I am Aspergers, no one has ever said so.
So, please just relax, and comment if you wish. Writers here thirst for a little attention. So even if you do make a small gaffe, don't worry.
God bless you.

I too suffer from social anxiety
For me it's do bad that I have troubles even leaving the house. I can only really do that when Martin is with me and I usually don't say much, if anything during dance classes or social situations. When I do put out myself out there socially it's forced and I'm always terrified of doing or saying something incredibly stupid.
Here I get paranoid every time I post a story, or someone comments one one because I fear that people will hate it. And replying to comments or commenting on other peoples stories I always worry that I'll say the wrong thing. Even though I'm always terrified though, I make myself do these things and pretend to have the confidence I don't have. Why do I do this? Because I'm never going to get any better if I don't try and because there are some people out there who do understand. You don't have to comment on everything and if you do just make it positive or at least constructive and more people will be okay with it. If they're not, that's their problem, not yours.
*big hugs*

Don't take me too seriously. I'm just kitten around. :3
I'm sorry
I hope you stay.
Love, Andrea Lena
I hope you change your mind
I've always enjoyed the enthusiastic comments you've made on Bike and will certainly miss them if you go. So please stay.

Don't be a silly billy|!
I have just read all the comments I can find that you have authored and can see nothing to cause concern. Perhaps you are upset that some or many of your requests for 'what's happening next' got not much of an answer - but I got much the same from some of my feedbacks to authors.
The key is to be confident in what you do and what you think of yourself - and that's true whether you are asking for help, giving help or a transvestite out buying your first bra. Go Girl. and DON'T GIVE UP - ever!

Hey Allison, please comment on my stories?
So many writers here are starving for votes and comments, just a little attention from those who read our stories. I promise that I will never dis you for making a comment on what I write. So many people come here to read, but just don't care about how hard we work.
A special hug
It takes great courage to write something and put it out there for others to like or dislike. So I respect you for that.
I'm still working on a first story to post here, so you're way ahead of me.
There are a lot of good writers at this site, more than some others I have checked. So, please leave your stories here for others to enjoy even if you choose not to share any more.
And know that many of us care about you and wish you only the best.
XOXO

Oops!
I should have checked more because you haven't posted a story.
But your comments are appreciated by many writers and I hope you would honor me with a comment when I do get something posted.
Take good care of yourself, honey.
Gillian Cairns
You Cheered Me Up
Don't underestimate how valued your encouragement is. Your July blog about 'Susie and Jeffrey' certainly put a spring in my step.
I hope my PM thanking you, with the link to Book 11, Loony Runes, didn't go astray.
Best wishes, and keep on commenting,
Jamie
Remember Rule 1
Erin's, not mine: This is a friendly place.
If anyone is giving you grief then you should inform Erin so that appropriate action can be taken.
Most authors here appreciate the comments we receive and know how hard it can be for some to make them in the first place. After all, we have all been there and done that, sometimes painfully.

I will not bother any of you ever again...
Allison.. That's sounds a bit like you're making a plan and saying your good-byes. I certainly hope that's not the case.
Everyone who comes here is wanted, and accepted. You are NOT imposing yourself where you are not wanted. Nothing that I've seen written by you could in any way be call offensive. But what you've written above worries me greatly.
There are people here that want to hear what you have to say, they do not want your voice silenced. Please rethink your decision, and stay with us.
Not "Who Cares"--I and others care!
Allison--
I have no idea what's been happening or who's been saying or writing what to you. I can only say that all of your comments on my writing have been kind and good and a pleasure to read. They were not dashed off but were thoughtful and I appreciate that and hope others would appreciate your sensitivity.
But that sensitivity can be easily bruised, and I'm sorry that somebody has done this to you. You know, you don't have to have any communications with people that make you feel this way; you're not obligated to participate with fools. But don't let them make you leave the rest of us, who want to interact with you--because we outnumber the haters!
I hope that whatever is out there is resolved without you leaving, and wish for happiness for you.
Karin
Hey, don't leave.
People do care.
I have said this before to others here in one form or another;
Nothing will be liked by everyone.
Everything will be disliked by someone.
Revel in the likes they always out weigh any dislikes.
I will however, in the most friendly manner, disagree with your definition of "Social Anxiety Syndrome", You are NOT a loser!
*sends a virtual burst of pixie dust hoping it will cheer you up*

My wife was diagnosed with Social Anxiety syndrome.
As for me, I just don't like people. :)
I kinda get how you feel.
