never understood why getting laid once aka I'm-not-a-virgin is such a big deal. congrats, a person pitied you enough to allow for five minutes of shared awkwardness and anxiety - is your quality of life better now? Did you magically learn to socialize and be content with yourself? prolly no.
the absurd overrepresentation of social anxiety and other disorders on messageboards is quite staggering, and I have a hard time believing it is harnessed for anything but wallowing in their collective misery.
