Yes they deserve to be lumped in the same category as abusers, rapists, murderers and the like.
And people wonder why they're shy.

Just because it's a problem doesn't make that person inhuman altogether. For some people's it's called Aspergers for other people it's called Schizophrenia and for others there's probably dozens of names to call it. Point is, many of these people, myself included do the best we can on a daily basis. Sorry it's not 'on your level' or the levels of most of these people

She's not saying that makes that inhuman, only that it's a problem. And who wouldn't agree that being so shy that affects you building meaningful relationships with others isn't a problem?

Don't do that. Do not twist my words up.

You know EXACTLY what I mean.

They don't have to be. If they seek out help, they can overcome it. There's no reason to be this way.

What difference does it make. Not your problem, so less worries for you.

"Seek out help" doesn't do jack sh*t. But keep thinking it does and will solve all the world's problems for people.

I'm not talking about people with these issues.

I'm referring to people who have no clue on how to approach or talk to someone, because they have a "fear" of it. It's something they should have gotten over years ago, but they're still this way as adults.

Hmmmm, you don't strike me as a "shy" person from your writings.

Um...when someone brings it up, they're soliciting others' input. This is heir apparent.

I didn't say it was my problem, clearly it's theirs because they are the ones not getting what they want out of life.

It's okay, they can twist my words around if they want to, but they know EXACTLY what I'm saying.
