You take yourself and everything way too serious, start loving the challenges of life a bit more, taking criticism is one of the challenges.

I lack self confidence, i look like an attention whore when i start saying "NO U B WRONG I R SHIT", and i hate that even more. Social fiasko beats me into depression and i fear contact with normal people at times. Also theres a person i hate so much that i get convulsions from having to be near her, i cant look in the general direction of her and i cant speak when confronted by her, i hate her so much.

It looks to me as though when you feel insecure, you try to garner positive attention through speaking out. I may have misinterpreted what you actually mean, but if I'm right, trust that if you keep quiet until you have an opportunity to say something that makes a positive impression on others (whether the comment is funny, complimentary, or just fitting within the context), people will react well. This is something that I personally have been working on for a long, long time. The main thing is to just make sure that you avoid just talking for the sake of attention; with small talk, this doesn't really matter, but in conversations that have a bearing on your relationships with others it's vital. As for fearing contact with normal people, you should be fine here on the forums. :P

I'm afraid I don't know what to say about the second part. I could offer the standard advice of 'avoid her', but aside from that I'm at a loss as to what to say.



I have an aggravating tendency to mentally romanticize every potential event that I think of.

Like all humans your conscious actions and interactions are driven by memetic fixation, which is exacerbated and encouraged with less subtly than in foreign or past cultural forms, owed as the all too common byproduct of modern social norms (and an absence thereof) and commercialism.

I tend to collect lost and cast-off items that I find laying about, provided they seem sanitary enough- old, broken earrings, pieces of leather from someone's purse or keychain, hairbands, etc.

Hmm, some sort of hoarding addiction, perhaps?

According to numerous psychological tests, I have natural aptitude (or something like that) for mathematics and physics.
Mathematics and physics are the subjects in which I almost absolutely spectacularly fail, and in which I have always failed before

Clearly you are a maverick, just not a very good one.

Benjamin Franklin said something, which I struggle to remember, but believe was roughly to effect that "it is fine to indulge in vanity, provided it has been earned." We all have our well-deserved moments with the magic mirror.

I write my capital "T's" with a line through the mid section.

You like to draw telephone poles instead of letters, because one fell on you as a child and you had a fascination ever since, or you just like flourishy writing.


I cant stop thinking, I never have a quiet mind, and my thoughts are generally chaotic and unorganised

Maybe you just can't calm down, maybe you are anxious, it all depends on what are you thinking about (probably)

As you can see, my typing style is strange - I very often use word constructions like those used in encyclopedic and newspaper articles.

I actually meant romanticize as in look at everything through rose-tinted glasses, but oh well.

You read them a lot, and your typing voice has assimilated what you read (Like how if you read a book too long you start to think in the book's voice.)

When my hands are idle I compulsively trace a meaningless glyph on whatever my fingers are touching, and I've done it for years and years, I don't remember when it started.  Something approximating this:

Its simple,your hands just refuse to do nothing at all,so instead they just do something meaningless.

I am very genre savvy (don't look it up, tvtropes will ruin your life.) and a strong believer in murphy's law.

You are  a smart person, I have no idea what the hell Murphy's law is.

You're an Orc Fetishist. Sorry. Others from Bay12 have infected your innocent mind with Orc Fetish.

((Murphy's law is about "if anything can go wrong, it will, and maybe spectacularly", IIRC.))

I am rather lacking in ambition and drive. I find that I'm useless, 80% of the time.

You are just can't find anything to motivate you. You are useless because you don't see a purpose. I get panic attacks from social situations and heights.
