When I go back to page one of some of the very long threads, I see names of people who used to post a lot and now they are gone.
I won't call out specific names as I don't want to leave anyone out.
I made this thread for all of you. When you come back and see that people remembered you and wondered how you were doing, you'll know that we care.

Yay hello! It is good to hear from all of you. I wish I had more to say. Life is quiet life. I think I've actually grown more introverted since when I was first here. But I've learned to accept a lot. I accept the way I am now a lot more than I did 6 years ago. So that's something I guess.

How's life?
I started some obsessive compulsive disorder therapy. They let me do it on Skype, but no major change in my behavior yet. I'm putting off the finishing of my chemistry degree until I am better able to handle going to a class. I am learning modern Greek language online.

Been switching usernames 3-4 times on this site so I don't think anyone would remember me, but I've in fact been active here for about 10 years, as far as I can remember (with long periods of inactivity in between). My shyness has turned more into a kind of emotional coldness than the intense anxiety it was back then. I'm also very ashamed of myself, and struggling with this. Some improvements have definitely happened though, I'm way more "functional" than I've ever been (but still got work to do).

I'm not sure if I've been away long enough to qualify for posting in this thread but anyway...
I'm doing well I think. I'm working 2 casual library positions across 3 libraries as well as starting university study just 1 week ago. I've made 0 advances as far as my love life goes, but otherwise I feel as though I could be doing so much worse than I am right now. As I type this, I'm on my way home from a night out meeting up with people I went to high school with and I had a great time catching up with everyone. There's a librarian that I have a crush on that I might try and pursue a relationship with too but it all depends of course :3

Hi, I used to post here about 4 or 5 years ago, my screen name was Bodhi. I created a new account because I couldn't remember my password and the email i used here had been canceled. Its kind of weird this thread was created and I randomly decided to come back not too long after.
I was a pretty heavy user for a few years, and even met two of the people from the boards in real life. These boards were really a life saver in a ways, as they let me connect to people, which I had such trouble doing in real life with my social anxiety. It was a great comfort to learn other people had similar problems, and could provide help during some tough times. I have very fond memories of posting here, and its nice to know it still exists.
I stopped posting around the time I was finishing up law school. Going to law school really helped me come out of my shell much more. It forced me to interact with people daily, and I made friends and began to see myself almost as a regular person. I think getting older also had a lot to do with it, and I just became fed up being so shy and started to not care as much about what others thought of me. The anxiety was still there, but I could control it to a degree that I could actually function, unlike some times when I was younger when I almost couldn't leave the house because of the overwhelming anxiety.
I also always had intense trouble dating, which you could easily see if you look back at the large majority of my posts on here. Yet, I overcame that to the point I met a girl and we got married last year. I never thought that would actually happen, I was so intensely shy for so many years around girls. I hope it shows you can overcome your shyness, at least to some degree.

Wow, congrats Bodhi! I've posted a little recently but i guess I'll add something. I just started a new job. Pretty boring one but it's nice to be employed full-time again. Also, started seeing someone new. No red flags and no bs. It's been nice. Things seem to be looking up!
