Online isn't as bad. I have time to think about what I want to type and then I can convey that without being quiet. Mostly if I'm quiet people tend to dislike it. It's harder to have a conversation when people don't ask me questions in real life. I don't know what I am supposed to say or do at those times, even if I am researching it so I will be more prepared.

Ah, yes. That's a good idea. Perhaps I will get a pair too.
