Venting Can't participate

[SomewhereAlongThe]

I get into the chat room and I am stumped for words. Like an animal with its mouth sewn shut I try to say something but it's always a useless nothing. I feel unable to contribute to the present conversation. All my words fall flat. This makes me really depressed because there's a lot of things I feel I cannot do, and now there's this. Everyone's chatting away while I sit hopelessly quiet. Blame it on my Autism, it's another reason I want to kill myself. I've had problems socializing ever since I was a small child. The fact I don't fit in on sasu hurts my heart.

It sucks. I also have this feeling that everyone ignores me while I constantly call for attention like a child. It's awful and a reason why I don't participate in live chat unless it's really, really small.

However, the forums help and they are slower paced. Maybe you do fit in, just not in the chat, but here with us?

Btw, I'm Aspergers too, so I may know what you're feeling somewhat. *hugs*

I totally get you. The hardest part is weaseling your way into chat.

The rhythm is chaotic and often relentless and there are those who are exceptionally good at controlling the flow.

You could try to make meaningful input into chat if you want, but sometimes the ticket in is to be a jester and brute force it. Something will stick eventually and you'll have your small time to shine.

I usually hate empty platitudes but, nothing ventured, nothing gained-- and that's especially how a fast paced chat usually operates on.

I usually prefer slower chats. I wonder if there's a way to make a chat where each person can only reply once ever like 20 seconds? Just to alleviate this problem.

Either way, stick to the forums if you want something that is slower paced than chats. Don't worry abouot fitting in, just be yourself. That's what this place is all about.

Doomer chat tends to be slower due to its heavily charged nature. At least from what I see. General is like a firecracker. /sweat
