From time to time, I get the urge to join various online communities, whether it's user groups for a camera on Flickr, author mailing lists, or something like that. And then I look at the amount of posts/mail that comes in every day, and I end up slowly backing away while not making eye contact, because I just get a feeling that nothing I might contribute would actually be worth anything and I'm just gonna go over there doing something else. >_> IDK, it even goes for things I'm interested in, like the gazillion writing comms I've been in and failed out of. Every time I make the resolution to actually try and participate, I last about a week and then wash out again.

I don't know whether this is just another aspect of my introvert nature shining through, or maybe I'm just a big antisocial loser who can't take even those "no pressure" comms.

*sigh* Being tired makes me morose. I need to go to bed.

I am exactly the same. I am a lurker by default and when I try to socialise, I soon back away. The most consistent I've been is on Twitter, but even then it is fits and spurts of activity.

I seem to lack the ability to carry on sustained socialization. Just end up drifting away and resenting myself for being an anti-social hermit. :\
